The Avalanches

Not nearly as diff as modular is from other releases but still p fun

Why don't I just go ahead and send it to you and u b tha judge

I mean if anything it'll be a great fun excuse to revisit SILY

lol someone else already put it on, while we were sitting around the fireplace drinking whisky. on a Scottish island, after dinner, tonight

(normally I don't use enough commas so I put a surfeit in that sentence)

he was all "I'm sure I have the original version because I downloaded it illegally" but no

then we put 69 Love Songs on for background #year2000styles

sic seems to be living the perfect life, tbh

zomba me please

would also love to be zombad

I didn't mean to say Stevie shouldn't zomba me

the OG Modular was the first record in my collection for which I ever paid a butthole-clenchingly substantial amount on Discogs, but my XL UK copy skips on "Live At Dominoes" so I needed a new copy anyway, right?

it is noticeably different from the XL release but the hard part about picking out the differences is turning off the part of my brain that's rocking the fuck out to the awesomeness of this record.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0yS0E8mDBg <-- didn't know this existed

I never knew that the Modular version was ever different. I picked up the OG import in HMV when it came out though so happy to hear I got the good version.

I remember doing a search on NME gig finder and finding their Camden gig (first UK gig?) before any publicity went out for it and getting tickets...

a recent search for that gig has found this gem from an Avalanches site...

Update, 8th August 2001: The Avalanches are playing at The Electric Ballroom in Camden Town, London, just down the road from my house tonight. And I can't get hold of a ticket. Doh!

Update, 8th August 2001, a bit later in the afternoon: Have just been given ticket for the world premiere of The Parole Officer starring Steve Coogan tonight, which I must say, more than makes up for missing The Avalanches. Hurrah!

I'm not sure that I agree with that last sentence..

Want zomba!

man the early tracks on the zomba are enormously better

not sure if I'm missing most of them later (just hit Extra Kings and that one's chunky) or drunk but still, worthwhile upgrade for the version on yr ipods

they were still better live before SILY though *single nostalgic tear rolls down cheek*

plz only bump when new release is coming

Is that somewhere in Melbourne?

sydney

Thought that this would be news on the second album, oh well

Also, just found out now that Darren Seltmann left the group, which pretty much leaves them as a duo right now

$10 pasta all day!

$10 pasta all day!!!

how do people exist in and out of a "group" that hasnt done anything in 15 years

I think it basically depends on what works best for maximising dole payments

that hasnt done anything in 15 years

Six months, tbf.

In all seriousness that sounds like it could be a v fun/funny Sat night

ugh

I know, I know, it's nothing, but their site, Facebook and soundcloud have all updated their main images to this:

"There is so much stubborn hope in the human heart. The most destitute of men often end up by accepting illusion."

They're planning a twitter war with Kendrick Lamar this time?

i'm sb'ing anyone who revives this thread w/o solid knowledge of a def release date.

Fuck this album. I don't even want to hear it anymore.

from their theavalanches.com site which is still regularly updated:

"M A R C H > 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.

DJ set or real live 'performance', I wonder

http://www.theguardian.com/music/2016/apr/13/avalanches-confirm-first-live-shows-in-15-years-as-splendour-in-the-grass-announces-lineup

"There is no new information on whether the Avalanches’ tour will be accompanied by the long-awaited second album..."

"Over the years the Avalanches has lost four members – including founding member Darren Seltmann, turntablists Dexter Fabay and James De La Cruz and keyboardist Gordon McQuilten – leaving only Robbie Chater and Tony DiBlasi in the band, although this line-up has not been confirmed since 2014."

de la Cruz is a great party DJ but was a keyboard player in the Avalanches
