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.
