The Avalanches
 

So I found "Since I Left You" to be particularly awesome. I am just now discovering the mixes that they also put out(just got Gimix and it is amazing). They have another album coming soon also! Just waiting on permission for clips apparently. Anyone else dig them? I couldn't find a thread dedicated to them so here i am :dj:

AWESOME!

i remember really digging 'since i left you' when it came out a few years ago. had no idea they were putting together a new disc. hopefully the legal clearance for clips goes quickly.

I'm not really familiar with The Avalanches at all but I remember once thinking I should look into some of their stuff after hearing good things about them. Are they the ones who did that record which was a mash-up of heaps of old recordings and stuff or something? I thought that was pretty cool.

their website

The Avalanches

has a ton of mixes(FOR FREE), im just scratching surface.

yep that would be them.

this was the 'big' single from their full length

yea, Since I Left You

I find a lot of that cut & paste type of stuff dates really badly.

They were entertaining for a few minutes in 2001 but that's about it.

I absolutely LOVED Since I left You, and thought it was anamazing sampling feat, and would have taken painstaking sorting to get that thing legal... but still it sounds so freaking awesome as a finished package... so they're new album is supposedly coming out soon?
Ya know I thought they'd never make another album, considering the headaches and hurdles they had to confront... there's been talk of a new Avalances album for a long, long time, but if the rumour is correct we might be finally seeing it come to fruition and that would be amazing!

whens the last time you gave them a listen?

SINCE i left You is infintely interesting in my opinion... everytime I listen to it I hear some new layer or some new sound... that thing is a sonic delight.... always well worth a repeated listen...
