Description

ELECTRONIC/AVALANCHES: 2001 British 2-record vinyl set from Australian electronic/rock group, The Avalanches, is called "Since I Left You", and comes in a nice deluxe gatefold album jacket.

The Avalanches are an electronic music group from Melbourne, Australia, best known for their live DJ sets and debut album "Since I Left You", which was assembled from approximately 3,500 vinyl samples.

The Avalanches began in 1995 as Alarm 115, a noise-punk outfit inspired by Drive Like Jehu, The Fall and Ultra Bidet. The band--Darren Seltmann, Robbie Chater, Tony Diblasi and Manabu Etoh--bought all their instruments at junk shops, where they also discovered piles of old records. When Etoh was deported and Alarm 115 ended, those records became the core of a new project. Chater was a film student at RMIT, and had access to a recording studio there, which he and Seltmann used to turn said vinyl into a 30-song demo tape labeled Pan Amateurs. In 1997, A new lineup (Seltmann, Chater, Diblasi, and Gordon McQuilten) was assembled to play the tunes live, debuting in July under the name Swinging Monkey Cocks. Their first four shows were played under different names.

"Since I Left You" is the debut album by Melbourne-based electronic music group The Avalanches, first released on November 27, 2000. It is composed of samples from old records, films, and TV shows. It was a critical success, especially in the UK where it reached #8 on the commercial album charts.
