Calling on collective power of our followers to help us get through the vast discographies! The artists in question this time are Don Van Vliet (aka Captain Beefheart), Japanese psych-rock vets Acid Mothers Temple and Australian guitarist Oren Ambarchi.
What other artists with large discographies would you like us to tackle next? Feel free to sound off in comments and/or check out Vinyl and Indie Labels discussion.

What's the best place to start with Oren Ambarchi and his discography?

I've never owned anything by Captain Beefheart, feels like I should have. Can anyone recommend a starting point and/or compilation? I'm not snobby about "best of" albums.

It’s interesting, I’ve got a lot of releases under a lot of names, haven’t ever looked at them as a body of work, more like an example of schizophrenia

I don’t think you can leave out The Dead. From Kesey and Owsley’s early recordings to pretty much every gig being taped and even now being released in massive sets. Only the mad and millionaires could ever hope to keep up with them all

With Beefheart it’s obvious: TMR is his magnum opus. That being said, I’m a big Ice Cream for Crow fan. AMT is one of those terrific bands who has put out vastly more terrible music than they have good music so they are really hard to choose but I’d say “Electric Heavy Land.”

Love all Ambarchi albums I've heard so far, my favorite is still Triste on Southern Lord.
