Two decades ago, The Avalanches released their seminal debut album, Since I Left You. Now, to commemorate the project’s 20th anniversary, the Australian electronic music innovators have announced a deluxe reissue, out June 4th via Astralwerks.
The sprawling deluxe edition features a slew of new remixes featuring artists like MF Doom, Prince Paul, Black Dice, Leon Vynehall, Sinkane, and Carl Craig, as well as previously unheard demos. These tracks add to the already innovative project, which broke ground with its use of 3,500 samples.
“I remember very clearly a few things,” said The Avalanches’ Robbie Chater. “We decided to not have any of our voices on it, which made it last because it’s a kind of transmission; nothing date-stamps it to that time. Also we were careful not to use any trendy software from 1999 or 2000. So it does seem to just float around in time.”
He added, “Music lovers get it, and that’s what we ultimately are. It’s almost like an exploration of our relationship with the world and with music and, as music fans, what our place is in the whole process. Looking back, I’m proud of this record as a pure expression of joy and love, heart on its sleeve and is free from irony.”
As a preview of the 20th anniversary reissue, the group shared legendary producer Prince Paul’s remix of the title track, which you can stream below.
The Avalanches recently released their excellent third album, We Will Always Love You, in December 2020.
