Since I left you by The Avalanches

So like, this album is the one that you would listen to if you If you were smoking marijuana (That means it's going to be a good album lmao).

So the album I’m talking about it’s called “since I left you” by the avalanches (who, Keep in mind that this people started as a noise punk band from Australia) launched in 27 nov of 2000, brought by Robbie Chater and Darren Seltmann (Main members of the “band“ Born in Australia, and only using a mpc akai, a synthesizer and a mixer.

I could say that this album is a psychedelic hip-hop/disco/dance/jazz slash sampledelia album, and for fuck sake is its fucking mind blowing, it uses like 900 samples (Even if many of these did not end in the original version, which you can find on the internet and listen to it, YOU SHOULD)(and also I don’t really believe the 900 samples but they atleast used like 30 or less samples in each of the songs, and Keep in mind that the album has 18 so yeah many samples were used, yeah, but not fucking 900 samples yk) and well basically because of soooo many samples used in the album, its It's an explosion of sounds and songs.

From the beginning of the album, the first song “since I left you” (like the name of the album lol) we can see this explosions of sounds and songs that I mentioned (Even manipulating what the vocals of one of the samples say, so that it says since I left you instead of since I met you) and how they combine several genre to do a new psychedelic one (I think) even representing it in the video of that song (its for some reason funny to see lmao but cute at same time, check it out).

Songs like “electricity” (that its my favorite lmao) we can also listing things like Jazzy and synthetic drumbreaks (btw in this track there is a daft punk sample, that fun fact its one of my favorite “bands” ^^), or angelic vocals with touches of synthesizers from the 80s, or “live at dominoes” that its more of a like disco party or some shit like that and Its so fucking cooooooool, and then ending with “extra king” (last song of the album) that finish this brutal album with the same lines as before but with a twist “ever since the day I left you, I’m trying, but I just can’t get you” its really interesting.

We can compare this album with others that make use of samples like “endtroduction” from dj shadow, or “the unseen” from Quasimoto aka Madlib but these two even though they use samplers and the use of the them are magnificent, they do not reach the bestiality that "since I left you" gives, in addition to the fact that these two go to roots more of hip-hop than other genres like disco or house as we see in this album so for me its one of the best sample used albums of all time.

To finish, I 100% recommend to listening to this album for god sake, on god its fucking amazing, fr fr, oh and they also, 16 years later, publish their second album “wildflower” that its… meh, but I still like it, its not like “since I left you” cause’ they dont use soooo many samples, its much chill that “since I left you” so yeahhh I like it (oh and their is also mf dooms colab in there and its cools as fuck, although he doesn’t have so many lines D:  ).

I really hope somebody read this, and well if you liked the album feedback and you listened to the album then let me know ^^ 

So cyaaaaa!!

P.S: if you say sampling is robbing, fuck you, peace ✌️
