The Avalanches - After the Goldrush


Back in 2000, Australian DJ troupe The Avalanches released a monumental album, Since I Left You, that found it's way onto the top ten lists of hundreds of critics for the year. Much in the way that DJ Shadow four years prior crafted his epic Entroducing....., these Aussies built the entire album from hundreds of samples (story has it that over 3,000 samples were used). Still without a proper followup, they did release a mixtape earlier this year just to remind listeners that they are still together and a long-awaited sophomore album should be expected. Below is the ridiculous set of songs they sample throughout.
