I’ve never heard an album like this one. It feels like I’m listening into music made in another dimension. The only other album that makes me feel like this is Cosmogramma.
@@enzyme3254 lol you obviously have a great taste in music. I’m curious, what else is in your top five? I’d really like to hear another album like these.
@@benjammin8919 ha well my top 5 spans quite a few different genres but it would look something like this 1. Since I left you - the avalanches 2. Close to the edge - Yes 3. Songs in the key of life - Stevie Wonder 4. Cosmogramma 5. Madvillainy - Madvillain If somehow you haven’t heard J Dilla’s Donuts before that would be a great one if you love Since I left You
@@enzyme3254 I love all those albums! My top 5 is constantly changing, but right now it would be: 5. Lonerism - Tame Impala 4. Aja - Steely Dan 3. Cosmogramma 2. Revolver 1. Since I Left You And I love MF DOOM and Dilla too!
I almost choked when I saw this in my feed! This is easily my favorite album of all time. I’ll go to listen to the title track and end up listening to the whole thing all over again because I just don’t want to turn it off! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! ❤️
Probably the best Australian album ever made, in my opinion. And honestly, we actually have a pretty amazing music scene here in Australia, obscure as it may be to the rest of the world.
4:52 Actually, a version with non-cleared samples was released in Australia first, and then a year later they collaborated with a british record company to release it worldwide with less samples (due to copyright issues).
1. Learn how to say Melbourne 2. How could you possibly not cite El Producto 3. LP was released a year later in US not vice versa 🤷🏽♂️ They actually had to change samples for US/UK markets. 4. They went so far to clear samples that they informed labels they owned the rights to songs they weren’t aware of. 5. Hard to imagine not mentioning the GIMIX tape, BBC appearances, Jimmy de la Cruz or Dexter!!!! 6. Again, El Producto?! 🤦🏽🤦🏽🤦🏽 Why do I get the impression you first heard this in 2015 or something 🤔
I can't believe this album is 21 years old...I used to listen to in when I was a kid thanks to my parents. And here we are, two decades later and still it doesn't have the recognition it deserves.
i believe that's just the beginning sample; there are over 30 samples from other films, tv shows, and obviously songs, and that one isn't used throughout the whole song.
Didn’t realize until now but this is probably my favorite album ever. Nothing else puts me in a good mood like Since I left you I’ve listened to it maybe hundreds of times and can’t ever see it falling off for me
it is truly special, and like nothing else. the transitions, reoccuring samples and sounds throughout the album feels like every track is related to each other, and a part of a big cohesive whole. as if the album is a soundtrack to this very obscure and dreamy dance musical happening in the setting of a cruise ship somewhere on the ocean. It's bombastic, eclectic and has an otherworldly vibe about it. full of life and character. 10/10
Amazing looking at how their influence has carried over but it's almost frightening to see you mention or dive in to every album I'm listening to, if you go over endtroducing for whatever reason I'll have to file a restraining order haha. Keep up the sick content!
That cassette tape has a song by my all time favorite musician jason Molina from while he was under the name Songs: Ohia. To any music fan I highly recommend the music of jason Molina, starting with Songs: Ohia.
Now how is that black dudes have gotten sued for a snippet second for a sample, but some white dudes can sample over 3 thousand sounds without them being sued, few being cleared, and their album remaining in existence?. This is far more intriguing than the work itself!.
“The album never got hit with a copyright lawsuit”. Not... exactly true. There are 5 known versions of the album. The one you can currently buy on CD and Vinyl as well as stream is known as the “International Version”, a version with some samples, particularly a radio comedy hour snippet in the beginning of “Radio”, and a flute sample from a WAR song. This is due to legal issues. After that, the “American” version was release (ironically never released in America), removing the majority of vocal samples from Frontier Psychiatrist, replaced with re-recorded versions. Again, legal issues. The “definitive” version that supposedly will be re-released next month is the “Australian” version, but two EARLIER versions exist, the Scandinavian version which has a sample not present in any other version in the opening title track, as well as the “Zomba Promo”, which adds a whole extra track that makes the album flow better. As to why these versions have more samples? Who knows.
Have you ever listened to Teenage FilmStars? Early 90’s shoegazish MPC nonsensical electronic/guitar music that is rumored to be an Alan McGee project? It has a similar mythology as the Avalanches...and it has some good hooks too.
Man, I really wish the US version had all those extra samples that were not cleared from the Australian releases or other versions. It just makes the album sound more complete. I don't know, I kinda wanna blame the Avalanches for that mistake
