Since I Left You

by The Avalanches

Since I Left You cover art

‘Since I Left You’ is a landmark of plunderphonics, meticulously constructed by producers Robbie Chater and Darren Seltmann from thousands of vinyl samples into a seamless and joyous sound collage. The album largely abandons its initial concept of a global love story in favor of a more abstract, transportive quality, weaving disparate sonic elements into a fluid, holistic experience that mimics a continuous mixtape. Its intricate production reacted against the big-beat dance music of the era by drawing on 1960s pop sensibilities, ultimately redefining the artistic possibilities of sampling and establishing the work as a touchstone of 21st-century electronic music.
