New album probably soon.

WOAH!

Welcome back The Avalanches.

Still annoyed that When I Met You got such a crappy release, and I need to find that 25 Minute Mix again because it's a damn classic.

Will listen to this when I get a chance today. Nice recommendation.

[Lv99 Slacker]

Wow wow wow. It's been so long. Welcome back, Avalanches.

[StriKeVillain]

Um, yes please? Will have to listen when I get home.

[Fusebox]

10 minutes in, waiting for the drop! Where's the drop? Lol.

[Maklershed]

Got Since I Left you back around the time it released in the US in 2001 and still listen to it frequently today. Can't say that for many albums. And it seems like every few weeks a different song becomes my new favorite. Guess it depends on my mood, the season, and the weather. Right now it's prob Stay Another Season. Hooray for more Avalanches!

[navanman]

I refuse to believe!!

[injurai]

Woo They live. I'm actually writing a college english paper about "Frontier Psychiatrists" this very second.

[joelseph]

Eclectic mix to say the least!

[kylej]

Yeah they released that a few weeks ago iirc. On their twitter they said they're $140,000 in debt from recording this next LP.

How many people have we heard about being on it? Zola Jesus? Ariel Pink? Danny Brown? It'll certainly be an opus. If this and the next Deltron LP release in the same year I'll shit myself.

Thats alot of money for recording an album? Payment for the rights to use samples I'd guess.

Rights, and the fact that they've really had no income for about a decade. They don't tour, and they refuse to license their music out.

I hate licensing copyright laws. Paul's Boutique never forget.

Fun fact: the cover art seen in the OP comes from the 1964 LP "The Dream World of Dion McGregor (He Talks In His Sleep)", which is a series of recordings of one man's actual sleep-talking. McGregor was a songwriter in his waking life (he wrote a song for Barbara Streisand, among others) but he never had much success. His dreams, though, are incredible - manic, hilarious, surprisingly coherent, very quotable, and often lewd.

His roommate had noticed that McGregor often talked in his sleep in the early morning hours, and his talking often grew so intense that McGregor would shout himself awake and fall out of bed. Soon his roommate began recording the sleep-talking, and the rest is history.

My tiny record label was able to procure a previously unreleased recording for our recent compilation: http://comp.awkwardcore.com/track/naughty-pussy

Here are some other favorites:
Dear Uncle - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sW5rLEt1NE

Downloaded this like two weeks ago but haven't listened to it yet. :/

Mix is a bit out there, but I dig it. Bring on that album.

We got permission from Steve Venright at Torpor Vigil Industries to use the recording. He currently controls all of the Dion McGregor recordings now that Dion is dead. I would suggest contacting him if you wanted to sample something: steve@torporvigil.com

[disappeared]

What's the Bukowski reference about?

[derder]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

[Drencrom]

Holy shit, didn't know they were still active!

[mr. puppy]

THAT BOY NEEDS THERAPY!!!

[Guevara]

Thanks and awesome.

How come I didn't hear about this?

Disappointing mix all-in-all. Sounds like what they'd produce for a Back To Mine or Another Late Night compilation, not what I expected. I know it was only one guy out of the five (?) but use some effects or software to make up for it, get inventive. The whole point of The Avalanches are the crazy mash-ups and out-there sample abuse. This mix has a decent tune selection, book-ended by those dream speeches mentioned in this thread, but it's ultimately monotone and boring.

[Fjordson]

Dat bossa nova. Pretty nice mix.

Would love another Avalanches record. Hope it's on the way.

I think Dexter used to do most of their DJ work before he left, or at least he did a great Beats in Space mix for them. They did a decent one for the Breezeblock too, and some party at St Jeromes. You can get them on their website (which is under renovations at the moment.....hmmm....).

[NinjaBoiX]

Since I Left You is a glorious record, the definition of a party album. Looking forward to this!

[lexi]

New Avalanches and Diablo 3? Fuck yeah.

(Eerily, Since I Left You and Diablo 2 came out at about the same time)

[buckfutter]

I do not hold high hopes for the forthcoming album, seeing as the DJ talent of the group has long since moved on. But here's hoping.

[joelseph]

2nd mixtape went up.

Miracle Device by Lord Fitness

[joelseph]

Could a mod please edit the title to reflect the multiple mixes? I assume there will be 3 more.

[Futureman]

so they have a new demo featuring David Berman of the Silver Jews...

http://pitchfork.com/news/47558-list...-of-the-heart/

didn't realize most of the members left... so this whatever they release will most likely be nowhere near as good as Since I Left You?
