Gimix shares a few tracks with SILY, but it's a different beast entirely.

I think I'm the opposite of most of you guys, I just can't listen to that record anymore. It soundtracked one or two massive summers for me, though, so very fond memories of it :)

Actually, I can't really listen to it, because my world revolved around it for at least a year, but I know that someday (soon) it's going to come back and hit me again in a big way. I'm looking forward to it.

Wow! This is totally what I have been looking for! This is what I thought the Primal Scream's Screamadelica would be like, but it wasn't (I'm not saying that album sucks because it rocks).

Anyway, personal favourites at the moment are "Since I Left You", "RADIO" (!!!) and Frontier Psychiatrist (that's just pure fun!).

there's been an update over on the avalanches site of recent developments:

Quote:
M A R C H 2006 > U P D A T E

NEW ALBUM -
exploration into sampled inner space continues, and is sounding damn exciting from all reports. the band would like to thank everyone for their patience and ongoing support. "sorry its not done sooner but theres no point in putting out an insane half finished mess" is the general feeling in the camp. recording is proceeding much quicker than with the first album believe it or not - its just that no one was waiting on that one.


AVALANCHES IN ROCK SHOCK -
the guys have also been busy re - editing most of bon jovis seminal 'slippery when wet' album (excluding wanted dead or alive and without love which are shit) and will be airing these once in a lifetime versions during their melb and sydney laneway dj sets - so get down there for a once only 80's rock extravaganza.


FRANKIE GOES TO TEMPLESTOWE -
in other news tony has a fine new haircut, he did it himself, its rad crooked multiplied by elf. get down to the laneway shows to check it out. and wolfmother and franz remixes continue with aplomb.


S.B.S.W FIASCO -
the band were as surprised as anyone when they saw their name on the lineup. sorry to all those stateside who got their hopes up - especially freddy who lost his nut.
so fingers crossed that new album will be with us sooner rather than later :)

The album was really popular in Australia but was certainly not as big as Oasis. The Avalanches did not expect it to take off they way it did and had not contemplated the mess they would be in with sample clearance and legal issues. In the end, and after much scurrying by record company legal teams the got evrything cleared for international release, however it did mean that a lot of the money was paid out to other artists and copyright holders.

I recently heard an interview with the guys and they said that the album was well under way and should see an '06 release.

They are also really friendly guys. We played a gig with Dexter and he was a great guy, shared some great stories.

i am currently listening to this album and it is still rocking my world.

i think i might even say that this is indeed my favourite album of all time. it brings me to tears, it makes me laugh, it makes me dance, shake, raise my glasses and spill my drinks. it's been eight years, but i don't think there has been anything near as good as this (which means a lot considering the 1000+ albums i heard in the last couple of years).

god bless'em (still!)

I do think there's an incredibly nice vibe on the album, that really makes me long for summer. But whenever I scroll through my musiclist (on my mp3 player as well), I usually skip The Avalanches. Maybe this changes in summer, but I just can't listen to it at all times.

Does anyone get the vision of an American barbeque party in a big garden of a big house, when listening to this album?
