Discography is the study and cataloging of published sound recordings, often by specified artists or within identified musical genres. The exact information included varies depending on the type and scope of the discography, but a discography entry for a specific recording will often list such details as the names of the artists involved, the time and place of the recording, the title of the piece performed, release dates, chart positions, and sales figures.
A discography can also refer to the recordings catalogue of an individual artist, group, or orchestra. This is distinct from a sessionography, which is a catalogue of recording sessions, rather than a catalogue of the records, in whatever medium, that are made from those recordings. The two are sometimes confused, especially in jazz, as specific release dates for jazz records are often difficult to ascertain, and session dates are substituted as a means of organizing an artist's catalogue.
The term "discography" was popularized in the 1930s by collectors of jazz records. Jazz fans did research and self-published discographies about when jazz records were made and what musicians were on the records, as record companies did not commonly include that information on or with the records at that time. Two early jazz discographies were Rhythm on Record by Hilton Schleman and Hot Discography by Charles Delaunay.

Discography is a compilation album released by the American rock band Jesuit. Released on April 12, 2011 through Magic Bullet Records, the compilation features every song ever recorded by the hardcore punk group during their brief tenure in the mid 1990s. Jesuit recorded a demo tape, two self-titled EPs and a Black Sabbath cover for a compilation album before disbanding in 1999.
The album was generally well received from music critics. Shawn Macomber of Decibel gave the album a nine out of ten rating, describing it as "a beautifully remastered collection documenting the all-too-fleeting existence of one of the seminal bands that made post-post-hardcore's mid-'90s vicious turn so darkly exhilarating."
All songs written and composed by Jesuit, except where noted.

Disrupt was an American grindcore/crust punk band from Boston, Massachusetts, United States. They only released one mainstream album (Unrest on Relapse), however the band acquired a cult following on the strength of several underground 7-inch EPs and compilation appearances. Their lyrics are anarchist in nature.
Members of the band have gone on to play in many other bands since the dissolution of Disrupt, including Consume, Grief, State of Fear, Goff, Demonic Death Preachers, Effects Of Alcohol, and Chicken Chest and the Bird Boys
The Disrupt game engine for Watch Dogs was intended to be a game focused on driving, a successor of Driver: San Francisco. The Ubisoft Reflections staff who had previously worked on Driver: San Francisco, collaborated with Ubisoft Montreal on the development of Watch Dogs.
It was based on the former Reflections engine (Driver: San Francisco) and refactored with some components from AnvilNext and Dunia Engine, two Ubisoft game engines used in the Assassin's Creed game series and the Far Cry 2, Far Cry 3 and Far Cry 4 games respectively. Management of an open world city from the AnvilNext engine, and vegetation and AI mechanics from the Dunia Engine have been implemented in Disrupt.
