Stevie Wonder - Talking Book / Innervisions.
I always mentally group Innervisions with Fulfillingness' First Finale because the cover art styles are similar.

Another version of this would be "albums you got used to listening to on a single CD but which wouldn't otherwise sound like they should fit together" - for me The Soft Machine / Volume Two

The first two Magnetic Fields albums feel like this though the later album is perhaps a bit more jaunty. They obviously encouraged this impression by making the CD edition a twofer almost immediately. (And then by having Merritt finally singing his own songs by the third album.)
Also the artwork is super similar!

the first two david axelrod albums —song of innocence + songs of experience— fit here pretty well.
bill evans has a couple, but i'm not sure if it's cheating to include them, as they were recorded at the same time and then split up into single lps later. the ones i'm thinking of are:sunday at the village vanguard + waltz for debbymoonbeams + how my heart sings
would also like to mention some curtis mayfield in the form of: back to the world + sweet exorcist (+ arguably even got to find a way)and obviously curtis + roots
and finally, adrian borland and the sound:shock of daylight + heads and hearts

This came to mind last night, though it doesn't fit squarely within the parameters of this discussion: The Cult's Electric and the first Danzig album sound and feel like two chapters of the same story.

The Cult's Electric and the first Danzig album sound and feel like two chapters of the same story.
I've always felt similarly about Primal Scream's XTRMNTR and David Holmes' Bow Down to the Exit Sign.

How about the One Dove album as a sequel to Screamadelica?
― Mark G, Monday, 9 September 2019 21:21 (five years ago) link
surely the sequel to XTRMNTR is Evil Heat?

XTRMNTR was already kind of a sequel to Vanishing Point.
