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

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.

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.

but every now and again it's fun to dust off an old disc like that for a little run around memory lane.

Since I Left You has all the ingredients of something I would like, but it did surprisingly little for me. I think I tired of it before the album came to an end, which has kept me from going back to it. If it were more condensed it might feel more solid and get repeat listens. I just felt like it was too long with too much of the same.
