Never mind digging in the crates — the Avalanches probably just buy them whole, sight unseen, and find a way to bounce off each platter. Eventually morphing into a gang of six merrymakers bent on filtering their all-encompassing record collections through original instrumentation and a great deal of sampling, the Avalanches came from one of the most unlikely places to generate mind-bending dance music — Australia.
Perfectly fitting with the band's range, the roots of the crew are in punk. Robbie Chater and Darrin Seltmann were in a couple of short-lived outfits together, most notably the Swinging Monkey Cocks. Gordon McQuilten, Toni Diblasi, and Dexter Fabay eventually joined in on the mess, but they acquired turntables and set their sights on dance music of the sample-based variety, originally leaning on abstract hip hop and naming themselves the Avalanches. Trifekta Records released the Rock City single in 1997, which soon brought the interest of Australian label Modular. With a long-term deal freshly inked, they released the seven-track El Producto EP and polished their outlandish live show, including dates with the Beastie Boys and Public Enemy. Rex issued the Undersea Community EP in 1998, which culled from the band's demo trove. Somewhere along the way, keyboardist James De La Cruz was added to the lineup.
An extensive patch of time was spent building Since I Left You, a 60-minute melting pot of the band's collective that sounds like a postcard to anyone who has ever made a record. Released in their native land in late 2000 and preceded by the appetite-whetting Frontier Psychiatrist EP, it received a response from critics and the public that reflected the album's glowing nature. The group even had the blessing of Madonna, who allowed them to sample the bass line to "Holiday" — the first time she okayed such a thing. Beggars Banquet-offshoot XL issued the album in the U.K. in May of 2001; Sire released it in the U.S. in November of the same year.

Is Dexter ill, Is Dexter ill, Is Dexter ill
Is Dexter ill today, Mr. Kirk, Dexter's in school!
I'm afraid he's not, Miss Fishpaw.
Dexter's truancy problem is way out of hand!
The Baltimore County school board has decided to expel
Dexter from the entire public school system!
Oh Mr. Kirk, I'm as upset as you to learn of Dexter's truancy,
But surely, expulsion is not the answer!
I'm afraid expulsion is the only answer!
It's the opinion of the entire staff that Dexter is criminally insane!

Zap! [Streetwise (1984) Sample] I love to fly
It's just, you're alone
With peace and quiet
Nothing around you
But clear, blue sky
No one to hassle you
No one to tell you where to go or what to do
The only bad part about flying
Is having to come back down to the fucking world
[Foxes (1980) Sample] Just a few minutes past 7:00 in the morning
Hi, I'm Jeff Conzer
And it's time to wake up
I know you feel that it's completely
Wrong
No, but you're ready to wake up, aren't you
Yes, definitely
That's good
'Cause it's going to be a beautiful day today
Temperatures in the mid 70s in the city a little cooler at the beaches
And warmer in the valleys
The Noisy Eater [Foxes (1980) Sample] As always
Whah!
Look at it, you gotta wake up
No arguing
It's time to stick your finger in your third eye
And at least wake yourself up
You even have to get your dog awake
It's just time to wake up
Everybody, get up!
Munch! Munch!
Once upon a time, I was a noisy eater
Biz Markie : I'm hungry, I want something to eat
Something with a crunch and very sweet
Just woke up so you know the scenario
I'm craving cereal like Cheerios
May be forced to drink, I might munch
But what popped in my mind is Captain Crunch
So I went to the kitchen to freak my choice
In my stomach I heard a voice
It said: "Please feed me, my tank is on empty
I'm seeing things, so please don't tempt me"
So I said "okay", and got my bowl
Got my milk and cereal, made sure it was cold
Sat down at the table and said my grace
Because I knew what was about to take place
"Yum yum, eat 'em up", my belly said
The crunches so loud errbody jumped out they bed!
Sample & Biz Markie : Here come old flat-top, he come grooving up slowly
He got ju-ju eyeballs, he's one holy roller he's got
Crunch!
Did you ever know a noisy eater
Biz Markie : Well it's lunchtime, and I'm hungry again
I don't know where I should begin
Maybe I'll get some super salmon, mmm that's good
I don't want no chicken, it tastes like wood
But I have to have some chips, ones that crunch
So you can hear me go 'munch, munch, munch'
Some old lady tapped me on the shoulder out of a crowd
And said "Quiet down Biz, you munching too loud!"
[Sample] Here come old flat-top, he come grooving up slowly
He got ju-ju eyeballs. he's one holy roller
He's got...
Well excuse me, um, um, well excuse me, um
Well excuse me, um, um, well excuse me
Here come old flat-top, he come grooving up slowly
He got ju-ju eyeballs. he's one holy roller
He's got...
Biz Markie : Quiet down Biz, you munching too loud!
Yum, yum, yum, yum yum
[Sample] Mmm, that's good!
They all thought I had stopped
And where's the gravy?
No matter!

Jonathan Donahue : At night, when I dream
Leaving my body like a bird from a nest I fly
Every chimney and tree
I thought I knew but now I see what all birds see
Inside of their homes
Clear as glass, friends making love like there's no tomorrow
What a wonderful end to my night's worth of sorrow
Jonathan Donahue : Everywhere you look
Children run like crayon colours into the sun
And in the wind, I can see
One by one, wildflowers dance with me
Oh it's a real swinging scene
Kaleidoscopic lovers melting into another
From a sister to a brother
(Oh, oh, oh see how they turn)
Daughter grows into a mother
And softly turns into the other
Stepkids Jennifer Herrema : What would you do for a dollar?
I know you want something to do, my darlin'
Wouldn't you like to have some money to spend?
What would you do with my money now?
Do you see yourself in diamonds
Do you see yourself in diamonds
Probably not (Probably not)
Take it to the store and get a Coke
Or some tall boys, a pack of smokes and a can of spray paint
Jennifer Herrema : Down by the giant drainpipe
Light firecrackers while we crack cans of beer
And if those boys aren't skating there
Maybe we can paint pentagrams and pot leaves along the walls
Jennifer Herrema : You fell down, now you should get up
No-one cares that your knees got cut up
After all it's just a little blood
And you don't have nice clothes anyway
You don't have anything that's nice at all
And you need a new asthma inhaler
Down by the giant drainpipe
Light firecrackers while we crack cans of beer
And if those boys aren't skating there
Down by the giant drainpipe
Light firecrackers while we crack cans of beer
And if those boys aren't skating there
Maybe we can paint pentagrams and pot leaves along the walls
I'll see you by the water
We can hang out all night long
Or some tall boys, a pack of smokes and a can of spray paint
Light firecrackers while we crack cans of beer
And if those boys aren't skating there
Down by the giant drainpipe
Light firecrackers while we crack cans of beer
And if those boys aren't skating there
Maybe we can paint
Saturday Night Inside Out David Berman : We inaugurate the evening
Just drumming up a little weirdness
It gets late so early now
The waves come in in mountain phases
I'd see fire where it's not supposed to be
I first saw her in a mega store
The day-glow raven born into a free fall
The fulfillment of a 10th grade prophecy
A motel masterpiece
Blind to the branching possibilities
Teardrops were standing in my eyes
Like deer before they bolt
I adored the way she modified my mornings
When I'd wake up in the calm shoals of her bed
Somersaults or smoke in a universe of sleep
Before she slipped into her heritage and disappeared
And she taught me to relight, relight and relight again
Frankie Sinatra (Extended Mix)
Alright guys right
Right over there to the left, where the peoples at
(at the concert)
Watch this shit, it's good
Original song
Ah Frankie Sinatra, ah Frank Sinatra

Ah Frankie Sinatra, ah Frank Sinatra

Danny Brown : Off this rocker
He's off his rocker
Please Mr officer I only had some vodka
Little marijuana just a few Vicodin
Only reefer swervin' out here while I’m driving
Where your registration, OG license
Because of that interior your bitch wanna ride this
Plate red bold cat, dick got LoJack
White hoes calling and they asking where the dope at
What? Whatever
Modern day Sammy hit I wrote with that Sinatra
All for pasta, spray in her mouth like Binaca
Listening to salsa, rhythm of maracas
M.I.A. on the job sipping in Sri Lanka
I divide and conquer, rolling Willy Wonka
Baby momma wanna suck the dong up at the concert
And they gets no pay like Frank Sinatra bitch
I do this shit my way like Frank Sinatra bitch
Do this shit my way
Ah Frankie Sinatra, ah Frank Sinatra
Frankie me boy don't know
You have the perfect voice to sing calypso (what did they say?)
Frankie me boy don't know
You have the perfect voice to sing calypso
Danny Brown : I'm so high, you're so high
If I take another sip, then I just might die
Take another sip then I just might lie
Tell her what she wanna hear just to get between them thighs
Underground nigga but on top of the world
Shucked the bitch for oyster, now my tongue on the pearl
So fuck what you say, do this shit my way
Like Frank Sinatra, bitch, do this shit my way
MF DOOM : Tanks of vodka, sip slow rocka ock
Writ rhymes since the days with Frankie Crocker rock
From more stocky stock
Known for his illy right hook to make Rocky block
That's no poppy cock pirate
We can keep it irie, or we can keep it irate
Dilate
We keep it 100
From the heights of Northern Lights
To Southern Comfort, one fifth
Come with that headbanger boogie for that ass
Villain give a bully ten noogies for the cash
Or dash, dip slow on a marathon
Or maybe he gon' sing Calypso like Farrakhan
Or Frank Sinatra mon
Frankie me boy don't know
You have the perfect voice to sing calypso (what did they say?)
Ah Frankie Sinatra, ah Frank Sinatra
Frankie me boy don't know
You have the perfect voice to sing calypso (what did they say?)

Ghost Story (Featuring Orono)
Hey
I'm sorry I left so suddenly
I just wanted you to know I'm okay here
It's hard really, being
You know, like so far apart and
All this distance
And the silence, you know
Um, anyways, so, I'm gone
But, you know, I'll still be here
I'll be with you
And I'll always love you, um
I
Song for Barbara Payton
It's a rumor going 'round
They say you're gonna put me down
But that's alright baby if you wanna leave me
If you found someone new
They say you're gonna put me down
But that's alright baby
If you wanna leave me
(Featuring Blood Orange)
(Since I saw you last there's been many a sunset)
(And every day we're apart seems like a week)
(Oh, but I knew you belonged to him when we first met)
(But every day we're apart seems like a week) [Sample : Smojey Robinson & The
Miracles]
Since I saw you last there's been many a sunset
You don't need to break it
And every day we're apart seems like a week
Gold is all you see
Oh, but I knew you belonged to him when we first met
I don't even understand
Every day we're apart seems like a week (seems like a week)
Draped in monotony
What's my life gotten me
Hard to be glorious when two minds meet in the corner
And a story is being told
By me to you, take another hit, what else to do
Think about leaving the house
But my fears aren't letting up
We'll always love you but, that's not my fault
We'll always love you (we'll always love you) but that's not the point
It's all our fault and they tell me you look pale
We always loved you [Sample : The Roches]
(We'll always love you but, that's not the point)
Night time, I'm fine dreaming of another life
Night time, I'm fine dreaming of another life
Night time, I'm fine dreaming of another life
(We'll always love you but, that's not the point)
Night time, I'm fine dreaming of another life
Night time, I'm fine dreaming of another life
Night time, I'm fine dreaming of another life
The Divine Chord (Featuring Johnny Marr & MGMT)
I still remember you
The way I dreamed of you
The way I hoped that you'd imagine I'd be
Long before we came to realise the hard truth
Things aren't always what you want them to be
It's not a secret now
We couldn't work it out
We didn't want to know how hard it can be
So I'll keep clinging to the real you I knew
Before you ever met me
I still remember you
I still remember you
I still remembеr you
I'll take a chance this time
And rеset all the lies
Keep the fire burning long as can be
Maybe I'll become the person you wished I was
Before you ever met me
I remember when lists first began to communicate music to me
He used to do so by guiding my hands over the piano 40 keyboard
I can usually see this quite clearly whilst he's communicating
Although there are times when I hear his voice but cannot see him at all
Too late, eastern skies
Jumped out fairly (?) and left
Began to float (?)
(Featuring Leon Bridges)
The sun in your eyes while all of the lies worth
The sun in your eyes made some of the lies worth
The sun in your eyes made all of the lies worth
The sun in your eyes made some of the lies worth
The sun in your eyes while all of the lies worth
The sun in your eyes made some of the lies worth
The sun in your eyes madе all of the lies worth
The sun in your еyes [Sample : The Alan Parsons Project]
Follow the light
Hold it in your hand
Our love belongs among the stars
Expanding from within
See them collide
Feel it all begin
Our souls belong among the stars
Our bodies can't hold it in
Spirit guide
Love provides
Spirit guide, spirit need
Love provides all that we need
Gave
You gave me love
Glory and love so easily
Glory and love
God created space and time with no end
If he did it once, he can do it again
Like interstellar love, shining light from above
The sun in your eyes while all of the lies worth
The sun in your eyes made some of the lies worth

So, I'm gone
So be here, be with you
And I'll always love you
Your voice will be here
Reflecting Light (Featuring Sananda Maitreya & Vashti Bunyan)
If I struggle with affliction
It's because I cuddle with my contradiction
Life herself is habit forming
All of my nights were made for morning
Reflecting light
Reflecting light
From reflecting light
Reflecting light
From reflecting light
In all my nights
From reflecting light
Bathing in reflecting light
From negligence or spite
In my midnight hour, yeah
I stand in this reflecting light
While I fight, bathing in reflecting light
Dreamers moving slowly through reflecting light
Reflecting light, reflecting light
(—ing light) [Sample: Vashti Bunyan]
You see, life's a bitch
And habit-forming, too
And if I can't have it
Then why the hell should you?
In that space where the lies go
When you try to explain
I stand in reflecting light (Reflecting light)
Reflecting light (Reflecting light)
Reflecting light
Yeah, reflecting (Reflecting)
Dreamers moving slowly through reflecting light (Reflecting light)
Reflecting light (I lose my second sight)
Dreamers, we should be asleep in
Moving slowly through reflecting light (Reflecting)
Glow, move to
Dreamers, we should be asleep in
Moving slowly through
Reflecting light
And I happen to think I should be alright
Oh The Sunn! (Featuring Perry Farrell)

Jesus come
Was this the song
Just in reach
Feel you come
Were you young
(I was the light)
And when you pray, what do you weigh
Night and day
Night and day
Was it rain was it grey
Do you kneel when you pray
Was it night was it day
Was it pain anyway
Were you old were you young
Were your song to be sung
Will you walk just ahead
And remember what I said
That I'll be done
Until Jesus comes
Until Jesus comes
And when there's rain there's floods
Make sure you run
Wherever You Go (Featuring CLYPSO, Jamie xx & Neneh Cherry)

Of the government and people
To the extra-terrestrial inhabitants [Sample: Robert B. Edmonds]

Don't want to fall
Or build the wall
Under the fall
Like clouds of rain
We chase the rain
Don't fly away
We'll make our way
Words of love, too constipated
Everyone's so agitated
Thoughts of violence, celebrated
Media hype, calibrated
All the proof, fabricated
Politicians, calculated
In the towers, insulated
Drug consumption, regulated
They got the power, pay by the hour
Make the folks cower, they can devour
Hit you with the bass, right in the place
Smack in the face that you can embrace
One, two, three, four, open up those doors
On the dance floor, that's where you get yours
The whole damn world's incinerated
Music Makes Me High [The Devoted Souls] Days are dark and sometimes weary

You put your hands in God's and you hold on

2011, my name camе alive
At the same time, I planned my suicide
Literally, I would live lonely inside
On the physical side, all my miracles died
2012, guess that plan ain't go well
Out my shell, still I'm livin' in hell
Yet it was written, from God it was gifted
To give you a story that ain't hard to tell
2013, far from a pre-teen
But it seems that a nigga chased my dream
Making anything that the world has not seen nor heard
Moving words like verbs, curved
2014, when I turned nineteen
Sayin' RIP to my big bro Tree
And my girl TT, when she got gunned down
Now I'm back on road
'Cause I couldn't come 'round to the funeral
Let a whole year pass
Made an EP and the fans got mad
A lotta issues that a young man had
Just two years shy of a high school grad
2016, when the boy got mean
ULT embedded in my genes
'Round the same time I met X and Ski
If the Klan ain't hit, then we just might be
The ones to have it all in our reach
2017, I had no place to sleep
2018, Taboo One Three
Was the best shit people ever heard from me
When you get pure pain, I'ma just make heat
2019, been good and bleak
Cut off the locks, new looks, same me
Used to chase my dreams, now the dreams chase me
Take care in your dreaming and love when you can
(Chase my dreams, chase my dreams)
Take care in your dreaming and love when you can
(Love how you breathe)
(Love how you sing)
Take care in your dreaming and love when you can
(Chase my dreams, chase my dreams)
Take care in your dreaming
Yeah
South side of Africa, you ain't really heard of her
Mama was a daughter of a chief, make sense since
Royalty so skin deep, melanin carried through heaps
Papa was a soldier, built our whole life off his shoulders
Both were my pillars, yeah, I told ya
Both were a product of about ten kids
About ten needs, about ten feeds
Walking to school, it was about 10k's
Knees getting faded, hope getting faded
Aches, no lights flashing and flicker, it was a dream
Providing for they children, just to hope our souls beam
With prosperity, my parents, they took big care of me
Made sure opinions were heard 'cause it was scary
Middle kid tings, always lurking in the back
When I felt I wasn't heard, decided to take back
Take care in your dreaming and love when you can
(Back, take care)
(Chase my dreams, chase my dreams)
Take care in your dreaming (Yeah, nigga, I was a dream)
(Anything that the world has not seen, has not seen, has not seen)
(Was a dream)
Take care in your dreaming and love when you can
(Yeah, when I turned nineteen, chase my dreams)
(Love how you sing)
You'll need it now
Take care in your dreaming
(Take care, take care, take care, take care, take care)
Love don't leave
Love can't breathe
Love can't breathe
Breathe
Take care in your dreaming and love when you can
Love can't breathe

Yeah, come on
Yeah, come on
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah, come on
Yeah
Yeah, come on
I got to tell you I'm feeling just the right
Minimal to maximal amount of shattered by life
My brain reads like an open book
I shack up from the walking plank
I travel down the mighty rocky road
A heavy weight upon my broken bones
And If I die before my time
My last request a trusty croaker
An ample handful of painkillers
Billy Burroughs above my vision
I have been reborn
Yeah, I have been reborn
I have madе a very big decision
Alright
Like DJ Zеrotonin
Just outside the gates of heaven
Jesus won't you let me in
Jesus won't you let me in
I jumped so high
I jumped so low
S'Alright with me
Smoking flowers
Afraid to fly and afraid to die
And somewhere miscellaneous
I let my soul slip away
I jump so high
I jump so low
Burning candles from all angles
Again
And again
And again
And again
And again
And again
And again
And again
And again
S'Alright with me
S'Alright with me
On golden sky
A way up high
I'm just up here
In the golden sky
Oh golden sky
A way up high
It's where soldiers go
When they have died

I feel like I feel, I feel like you see

A part of me guarded, still in my garden
Wake me up in the morning, I'm tired of mourning
There and be back
Bless be the gods
Stay will you stay when you there hit me back
Hot here the rain
Tears can't explain
The years long
Black be the day

Flat foot with it
The style dripping I'm mile sprinting on and on
The light for me

Head high feel like, yeah
Get my people up there
Stay

Guided by voices
Um, anyway, um, I'm done
So be here, I'll be with you
And I'll always love you
My voice is still looking to be here
(Sample: Nikki Giovanni's "Dance Poem" / Jamie XX feat. The
Avalanches / In Waves LP)
All you children, gather 'round
We will dance and we will whorl
All you children, gather 'round
We will dance together
All you children, gather 'round
We will dance and we will whorl
We will dance to our own song
We must spin to our own world
Won't you dance with me
Stop your crying, dance with me
Feel the rhythm of my arms
Don't "let's cry" right now, dance with me
Stop your tearing up
Don't you hear the music
Don't you feel the happy beat
Bring your partner, dance with me
We will dance to our own song
And whorl around
All you children, gather 'round
We will dance together
All you children, gathеr 'round
We will dance together
Won't you dance with me
And whorl around
All you children, gather 'round
We will dance together
Feel the rhythm of my arms
Stop your tearing up
Don't you hear the music
Don't you feel
Don't you feel
You, don't you feel
You, don't you feel
Stop your crying, dance with me
Dan-dan, dance, dance
Dan-dance, dance, dan-dan-
Dance, dance, feel the rhythm
Dance, dance, dance
Feel the rhythm, feel the rhythm, feel the rhythm
All you children, gather 'round
We will dance toge-toge-toge-toge-
All you children, gather 'round
We will dance to our own song
Won't you dance with me
Stop your crying, dance with me
Feel the rhythm
Feel the rhythm
We will dance to our own song
And whirl around
All you children, gather 'round
We will dance together

Cheer (Electricity EP)
Even when you are standing in one place
You can make your body do many different things
It can be tall, small, wide, narrow
It can wiggle, bend, spread
Twist, bounce, spin, push it
When you hear the music
Many different things you can do with your body
Ever
Wrist, wrist
? wrist
Raise your right hand
And raise it up high
Shake your left hand and touch the sky
Breaking down ? ?

Up, down
Slow Walking (Undersea Community EP)
You know what we need more of around here
We need more happy talk
Can you hear it
Hey
There goes my favourite tree
Where's she going
She's leaving me
She found another
To care of her
Birdy
Birdy, birdy
I wish I was with you
In a helicopter
Flying over my old school
Where we were cooler than they ever knew
Slow walking
Sometimes we walk in the park
Most people walking
Ninety-five percent people walking
Birdy
I wish I was with you
Such an easy way to get around
Wake up, sleepy tree
Get off that old birch knee
Get out of bed, you sleepy old tree
It's the first day of spring
Get up, get up
Get up, you silly old tree
Sleeping in on me
