Since I Left You, released on 27 November 2000, is the debut album by Australian electronic music group The Avalanches, and until 2016, their only one officially released.Produced by members Robbie Chater and Darren Seltmann, it continued a change in sound for the Avalanches; while their previously released EPs did have elements of their later work, they were technically rap works. Instead, this album was made with over 3,500 samples of vinyl records bought by Chater and Seltmann, and carries a more dance-oriented energy.Figuring nobody would bother listening to it, they had no plans for an international release, and thus were very lax in regards to copyright (the Australian version and the other international versions released the next year have some notable difference in certain samples; most apparent in "Frontier Psychiatrist" and "Extra Kings").Despite Chater and Seltmann's doubts on the album, Since I Left You received critical acclaim, resulting in an international re-release once the samples were given clearance. It's since gone on to sell over a million copies, and is considered one of the greatest achievements of both Australian musicnote  The album is listed as No. 10 on the 100 Best Australian Albums and plunderphonicsnote Music derived from taking elements of existing audio compositions to make a new composition, and is often compared to another similarly fully-sample-based album, DJ Shadow's Endtroducing...... However, while that album could be seen as a collection of songs, Since I Left You's tracks are so interconnected that, despite lacking any original vocals, it feels like nothing short of a musical journey.

Genre Roulette: It's hard to exactly pin down a genre for each individual track. The only exceptions are "Live At Dominoes" (House), "Etoh" (Trip-Hop), and maybe "Frontier Psychiatrist" (Hip-Hop with a mix of Classical).

Book Ends: "Extra Kings", both instrumental and lyric-wise, acts as a counterpart to "Since I Left You"; the woodwinds for the instrumental aspect, and the lyricism aspect both feature a vocalist singing about the effects of leaving someone. While "Since I Left You" portrays this as a breath of fresh air ("Since I left you, I've found the world so new"), "Extra Kings" has a vocalist sing "I've tried, but I just can't get you/Ever since the day I left you" as the song and by extension the album fades out.

Voice Clip Song: The main chorus of "Frontier Psychiatrist" samples different parts of an old Wayne and Shuster skit in this manner. The "verses", so to speak, also sample various spoken word records.

Lighter and Softer: When compared to Endtroducing....., the other main staple of plunderphonics. The former is very stark and moody, whilst Since I Left You is far more uplifting and celebratory.

Surreal Music Video

comment
Surreal Music Video: The music video for "Frontier Psychiatrist" depicts a mock orchestral performance of the song, in which every performer in the orchestra is based on a different sample. This includes actors portraying the audio play characters, a turtle with an old man's head, a skeleton scratching a shellac record with an old gramophone like a DJ, a drummer in a monkey costume, a dancer in a pigeon costume, and a talking set of dentures in a glass of water.

Fading into the Next Song: It's a gapless album, and all the songs transition into the next. Unfortunately, there are some abrupt changes on a number of versions of it, due to the overlapping parts being samples that couldn't be cleared.
