I couldn't agree more. This album is a fresh mother! It's complex, full of
sound, funny, clever, and makes excellent listening. Check it out.

now playing: since I left you - the avalanches
any one else digging this, a major, major release... sample heaven, (from
debby reynolds, to madonna, the osmonds,kid eole, kraftwerk...) big fat
beats (check out the opening to Electricity). Like dj shadow grew up in a
melbourne disco... I can't recommend it enough. Apparently everything is
sampled, there are layers upon layers of stuff happening, all encrusted with
vinyl crackles and lo-fi atmospherics. Theres hip hop turntablism, funky
stuff, disco strings... check it out. Here is a review which says it much
better than I can:

I don't think I've been this excited about something since shadow's
endtroducing...
