Classics : The Avalanches - Since I Left You

The Avalanches are a group from Melbourne, Australia. This was a single off their debut album of the same name. On putting the album together members Darren Seltmann and Robbie Chater spent countless hours sampling the chords from many records. Chater estimates the numbers of samples on the album to be over 3,500. After sampling and arranging, the pair would swap their tapes, listen to each other's ideas and expand on whatever struck their ear. Also this music video won Best Video at the 2001 MTV Europe Music Awards.
