Discography 9 albums

All nine albums the discography lists as studio albums. Body Talk Pt. 1 and Body Talk Pt. 2 came out in 2010 as two halves of a trilogy, and Body Talk in November of that year collects most of both plus five new songs, so tracks repeat across the three. The collaborative records with Royksopp, La Bagatelle Magique and Kleerup, the compilations and the EPs sit outside this catalogue.
