What always amazes me about this song, after learning how it was made, is that it's a song that has absolutely no original elements, yet itself is so highly original.
Kinda like how there’s only 26 letters in the alphabet, or 12 notes in an octave, yet it’s how you mix them in unique ways that help color the world. This seems to be using that same method, where samples are just notes on a piano.
Well now that I've seen this, the music video makes way more sense. They're like, "Well we made the song, now we need a music video. Let's just hire a bunch of people to represent the different sounds we sampled, even if it's not the exact same thing." That's literally all it is. I've been sitting here trying to find meaning behind it and there is none.
I'm honestly amazed that the Avalanches were able to find all these samples back in 2000, Did they just go to every record store they could find and by a tonne of old records just to see if there's anything interesting on them? Even then it's crazy that they even thought to use all of them, Some of these are the most random things, Yet they somehow work so well in the song.
There is a vid of them record hunting somewhere for samples, one guy didnt even have a record player so he sampled the radio. They must have been searching all the time.
IIRC the story was that a record store was going out of business and they managed to get all the old records that they didn't manage to liquidate in the clearance sale. Then, with such a wealth of possible sample sources, they embarked on this crazy ambitious project of an all-sample album
@@dancoroian1 That's very interesting, thanks. Intriguing to think of all these obscure records left on the shelf in some defunct record shop being spliced together broadcast around the world, so random.

NEW LEAD! The “Tighten your buttocks” sample could actually be from a series of UK fitness records in the early 80s called “Shape Up and Dance”. After browsing dozens of other exercise albums/programmes, this is the best candidate. At the end of every (available) volume, there’s a track for muscle relaxation, yoga, etc. where the host talks in a more gentle manner. Otherwise, all of these records have upbeat pop with loud instructions (which is obviously not the sample). For reference, listen to the last track of Shape Up and Dance Vol. 1 with Felicity Kendal. The tone is the same for both voice and background ambience…. Even the phrase is almost said verbatim. The only issue is there are several volumes. Only three exist on TH-cam and none of them are the exact sample. (Though they generally are within the same ballpark). Hope this helps.
I was listening to this classic tune at work and the boss came over to ask if I thought it was appropriate music for the workplace. She also asked if it was hip-hop.
The twin psychiatrist reminds me of a dangerous psychiatrist who I had. Clozapine is dangerous and people died on it. I took it and had to be taken off. This song is creative. I like how Avalanches do this on stage. They jumped around a lot. It’s the way a person would jump around if they saw you as a patient in a long term patient.
It reminds me of being counselling and having a counsellor that I was on the same page with so developed better boundaries. I started to say no to aspects of my voluntary work. But some people didn't want me to change and tried to push me to find help elsewhere. I replied that I was already in therapy, that sometimes you feel worse before you get better as you gain insights and for them to get off my case.
In high school we had to write a play and I came across Wayne & Schuster via my nan. While finding the scripts online I came across this song and we sampled this across parts when we performed it. This song plays on my mind a lot over the years, thank you for the breakdown. I had assumed the instrumental was their own making and the audio was just from their radio plays. I've since found they are still making great music!
23 years on I would never have guessed all these sounds would be discovered. While I am here that horse sounds like the one after the gunshot pitched. Perhaps they just swapped them around?
I thought so too at first, but it is 100% from another source. I haven't checked in a while though so it is possible that it's been found since I made the video.
Now having seen this, what was already a masterpiece to my mind, is proven to be the most mentally eclectic mash up ever made. Blown away at the genius and depth of work involved.
Great job, great song. Love them since 2000 🥰. Love you now, you're an archeologist and answered so many questions i had. Need a new friend ? You got me. @+++, LotP.
DJ Shadow also featured Theme From The Planets as part of his 1998 sets, sped up massively as part of a funk breakbeat medley leading up to a drop into Building Steam. I'd recognize that epic psychedelic synth line a million miles away!
Something that needs to be appreciated about this sampling is that not only did it create a whole new song, it told an entire story using loads of different dialogue. So cool.
It’s ridiculous how the avalanches managed to use thousands of samples just in one album alone. This reconstruction reveals just how subtle and obscure they got with it, like they raided a record store dollar bin.
An absolutely incredible amount of work went into this song. Also, an even more incredible amount of work went into researching this video! Thank you for posting!
This song became my favorite from the album Since I Left You. There are only four samples left to discover: the horse's neigh, the drums that sound in the middle and at the end of the song, the line "and tight on your buttocks" and the parrot sound. I loved the deconstruction of the song! 😃😁👏
But can they play it live on real instruments (at least the drums and violins and horns) with several different people saying the words. Some of the original people that they sampled have probably died by now.
First video I've seen of you and I'm blown away! One of my favorite songs and I never once thought about the samples used to create it. Instant subscribe!
The width of the drums came from the mixing boards they mixed the album on. A good way to re-create this is with the Haas effect, basically, hard panning the right channel, and left channel, and delaying each by a few ms. This effect was used all over the album!
Absolutely! I use the Haas effect all the time when recreating these tracks. I think I even used it on my version of the drums, although I will admit that I didn't come close to the width or the crispness that the Avalanches achieved.
Something I found interesting about the Eddie Thomas sample over the Ron Goodwin strings is that it seems to accent a subtle sound present in the Ron Goodwin sample when pitched up. So if you listen very closely there are some quiet undertones created by the pitching up of the sample, sounds which at the source frequency go unheard, that may have inspired them to layer over the Eddie Thomas vocals in a similar fashion.
It's been looked in to pretty thoroughly and that's almost certainly not the one before the gunshot, but I can appreciate why you'd think that! You can hear the neigh after the gunshot though as the drums come in.
It definitely takes a while to put these together in a way that I am satisfied with, but I am not responsible for finding the samples in this track! There are communities of amazing sample hunters who found these samples over many years, paving the way for this to be made.
@@KarlBoltzmann Definitely, but I believe it does have some original parts and vocals. Here's a track from the second album... th-cam.com/video/1CbtcbcTZf0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cUEgOp_u7dhg87u4
So happy I found this channel! I love this song and the album! You should do the whole Since I Left You album deconstructed! I thought the horse one was from the song Good Guys Only Win in the Movies
Sorry if I didn't cover that exactly in the video but it's from Wayne and Shuster's - Frontier Psychiatrist, which is sampled for a lot of this track's dialogue.
Just a couple of quick questions. 1. Do you actually have a job because this shit must take ages to figure out. And 2. Why the hell don't you work for the FBI or something like that???? This kind of forensic genius must be used! I immediately subscribed to your channel!
Thank you, you're too kind :) I can't take credit for the sample finding however. There are some very dedicated folks out there who are part time sample hunters that have slowly built up the public archive of found samples. I've found some samples here and there but mostly my job with these videos is to figure out the technical details, take a very very close look at how they were used/processed/cut and produced in order to make these amazing tracks.
The sample hunters out there deserve all the credit for finding the samples! I occasionally do that too, but I'm more about reconstructing how the samples were used by the musicians in order to detail how these songs came together, piece by piece.
@@KarlBoltzmannI love how it is all put together to create something else. There is nothing new in the world now. It makes it familiar. A lot of films have call outs to previous films.
@@judgeberry6071 Yes there is. Do not contradict me. It's all gangster rap. How do you think I know? How dare you ask me if I watched the videos, when you clearly have not.

Close. The samples are essentially riffs.
@@riffcaster Yeah, the high art of sampling. Coldcut and The Bomb Squad are/were also masters of this.
Welcome to the wonderful world of DJ mashups, where 20 songs become 1
@davidswanson5669 I think you're describing a "rebus".
What's really impressive is that those samples are barely transformed (at most pitched to fit the key of the song), it's straight-up collage.
that's a great way to describe how this song always felt to me, like a collage
I, and many others, consider this song to be one of the greatest songs ever created.
hells yes
Every sample feels like someone’s echolalia focus. I think that’s why I like it so much. It feels like a quilt of favorite things.
What a great way to describe this song! I agree completely.
Well now that I've seen this, the music video makes way more sense. They're like, "Well we made the song, now we need a music video. Let's just hire a bunch of people to represent the different sounds we sampled, even if it's not the exact same thing."
That's literally all it is. I've been sitting here trying to find meaning behind it and there is none.
Your a nut, your crazy in the coconut.
Hahahaha oh buddy
I knew this song was so dynamic but now, I respect this song way more. You have done insane research.
I'm honestly amazed that the Avalanches were able to find all these samples back in 2000, Did they just go to every record store they could find and by a tonne of old records just to see if there's anything interesting on them?

thats what i have read
Yeah, that's how we used to do it.
Yeah that's exactly what they did - looking for samples 24/7 wherever they could find them.
I found Frontier Psychiatrist first and it led me to fall in love with The Avalanches. The song is so perfectly stimulating.
For me it was Since I Met You on the Ministry of Sound's chill out album.
@@lemsip207 My second Avalanches song, letting me know I'm in for life.
I kind of realized there was several samples but WOW! The Avalanche have a broad interest to pull together all these bits and pieces.
IIRC the story was that a record store was going out of business and they managed to get all the old records that they didn't manage to liquidate in the clearance sale. Then, with such a wealth of possible sample sources, they embarked on this crazy ambitious project of an all-sample album

It's amazing what masters of sampling can conjure by mixing things together, they're like chefs. Avalanches, DJ Shadow, MF DOOM, etc.
Wayne and Shuster are so underrated! So goddamn funny. Truly some of the best comedy Canada has ever produced.
It's amazing how they found all this rare media and it just as amazing that you figured it out. My mind is blown.

Frontier Psychiatrist by The Avalanches . . . an outstanding recording achievement!

I have adored this song since it came out . I can't believe how cool the details turn out to be.
crazy as a coconut how much effort went into this, there's just one question. what does it mean?
The "tighten your buttocks" sample is from a Jane Fonda exercise routine. I don't know if it has a name.
That is what I had heard too, but I don't think anyone has yet found the exact sample yet.

You did such a good job! Ive been waiting for some avalanches. knew this would be coming
100% this one was on the list for a while! More Avalanches to come.
I’d love the whole album done like this. Close To You, Flight Tonight, or Live At Doninoes especially.
I LOVE this song, didn’t know I needed a deconstruction of it until now ❤❤❤❤
I've always wanted someone to make a piece like this.
Great job, great song.
Love them since 2000 🥰.
Love you now, you're an archeologist and answered so many questions i had.
Need a new friend ? You got me.

The Wayne and Shuster Frontier Psychiatrist sketch was from 1983, not 1959. They were on the air for a long time!
beautiful and satisfying deconstruction
DJ Shadow also featured Theme From The Planets as part of his 1998 sets, sped up massively as part of a funk breakbeat medley leading up to a drop into Building Steam. I'd recognize that epic psychedelic synth line a million miles away!
God, this song is both ridiculously good and ridiculous all at once
This is insane! Great job! Thank you so much for covering this 👍👍👍
Thanks Alex! More Avalanches to come in the near future.
I always thought of this type of music as sound assemblages or collages. Supposedly this album had over 3000 samples on it.
This track has some AMAZING drums!! Good one.Our music taste is 100% in sync :D
You've got great taste in music then ;)
This is one of the few songs that is genuinely funny. The parrot scratching makes me laugh every time I hear it.
Something that needs to be appreciated about this sampling is that not only did it create a whole new song, it told an entire story using loads of different dialogue. So cool.
It's in the trees it's coming...............
The entire album is plunderphonics btw everyone here, it's all samples for about an hour of amazing songwork
I was always curious about this song. Thanks for making this.
It’s ridiculous how the avalanches managed to use thousands of samples just in one album alone. This reconstruction reveals just how subtle and obscure they got with it, like they raided a record store dollar bin.
The outro is from a latin american song. look up "El bayón de Silvana Mangano en Ana"
This was #3 of about 15 on my nomad 2 zune mp3 player in 2001
Great example of how sampling creates something totally new!
And twenty years later I find such gem- the deconstruction. Impressive work, thank you
An absolutely incredible amount of work went into this song. Also, an even more incredible amount of work went into researching this video! Thank you for posting!

But can they play it live on real instruments (at least the drums and violins and horns) with several different people saying the words. Some of the original people that they sampled have probably died by now.
thank u soooo much for making this omg. maybe do frankie sinatra next if u have the time ♡

I appreciate that, thanks!
Laurie Anderson's Home of The Brave is REALLY worth a watch.
It's brilliant! Way ahead of its time.
The width of the drums came from the mixing boards they mixed the album on. A good way to re-create this is with the Haas effect, basically, hard panning the right channel, and left channel, and delaying each by a few ms. This effect was used all over the album!
Absolutely! I use the Haas effect all the time when recreating these tracks. I think I even used it on my version of the drums, although I will admit that I didn't come close to the width or the crispness that the Avalanches achieved.
They were edgy and creative without overstepping the line. They showed how it could be done.
Here - you earned my thumbs up!
Amazing job deconstructing the track and hunting down the samples. Are you planning to do the whole album?
I will definitely be doing more of their tracks in the near future.
@@KarlBoltzmann I would'd love to see them !
this song sounds like what Brainrot is...and i love it
Seen them play live in the arches, boy what a gig

So if you listen very closely there are some quiet undertones created by the pitching up of the sample, sounds which at the source frequency go unheard, that may have inspired them to layer over the Eddie Thomas vocals in a similar fashion.
Great ear! I think you might be right.
I miss these videos! Any news on when you're coming back?
Soon! I've taken the summer to focus on other things, but I will be making these videos again very soon.
Awesome, take your time obviously. Will definitely be tuning in.
Lawrence of Arabia has horses in it
That was awesome ! Love The Avalanches, thanks for the breakdown !
2:32
Is it possible the horse sample they used is the same horse you hear in the clip of the gunshot?
It has been confirmed to be a different horse. I'm not sure if it's been found or not yet, but people are on the hunt.
pretty sure it's 'Avalanches above, business continues below', not about
Yeah, that makes a lot more sense.
So many great tunes
amazing video! u got a sub from me
I think the "tighten your buttocks" sample might be from Eileen Fowler. British lady from the 60s/70s who made records that told you how to exercise.
That's a good guess. It could be.
Probably my favourite deconstruction of any track. Thank you!
Cheers, thanks!
Oh nothing too obscure then
So… What does it all mean?
That boy needs therapy.
Halfway through this video and I have this problem where my tongue is completely dry because my mouth is hanging open for 9 minutes
lol
That horse neigh is just that neigh after the gunshot at a different speed and pitch.
It's been looked in to pretty thoroughly and that's almost certainly not the one before the gunshot, but I can appreciate why you'd think that! You can hear the neigh after the gunshot though as the drums come in.
That was great
Karl, I'm not sure if you take suggestions for videos. But if you do, Jurassic Five's Lesson 6 would make a great video and challenge for you!!
That's a great suggestion! Love Jurassic 5. We'll see what there's time for this summer.
@@KarlBoltzmann Great I hope to see it on the summer. I'm glad i was able to give a new video idea
Man I remember bumping this on Channel Z back in the 2000s
I’d love to see a deconstruction of Wax Tailor’s “That Good Old Tomorrow”
I generally stick with the older stuff, but I appreciate the recommendation.
A masterpiece of production. Hands down... and the music video production is equally as masterful.
Daaang how long did it take ya to find and put this together? Great job as this track is so intriguing!

It could be! All of their tracks are such a beautiful collage of so many interesting samples.
I’d like to know about the actors/people in the video. How do we find out about them?
I would check imdb. www.imdb.com/title/tt9125792/
Have you deconstructed any Negativeland?
Do they use any samples?
@@KarlBoltzmann Definitely, but I believe it does have some original parts and vocals. Here's a track from the second album... th-cam.com/video/1CbtcbcTZf0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=cUEgOp_u7dhg87u4
Good call. I generally try to deconstruct and recreate tracks that are at least 90% samples.
Well I guess I need to track down that Dexter Wansel album. Heck, and all those other albums, too.
amazing deconstruction, thank you!
I've always wondered about the 'hypnotize' sample, now I know it's from Eddie Bo.
So happy I found this channel! I love this song and the album! You should do the whole Since I Left You album deconstructed! I thought the horse one was from the song Good Guys Only Win in the Movies

I'm using Ableton Live. Last time I checked there was a free version on their site to try out if it's something you're interested in.
Fantastic breakdown - I could (and have) watch it over and over. Subbed!
Salut from Brasil
Just found you by accident, I searched for Bloodstain, and now... I see The Avalanches AND Fatboy Slim? I smiled. :) New subscriber here! Best, Julia
Cheers, thanks!
The intro is on beat to the song?
Nope. There is no quantization to the grid until the beat comes in.
This is amazing. Are you telling me you reconstructed the whole songs by hunting down and recording the samples?
The sample hunters out there deserve all the credit for finding the samples! I occasionally do that too, but I'm more about reconstructing how the samples were used by the musicians in order to detail how these songs came together, piece by piece.
@@KarlBoltzmannI love how it is all put together to create something else. There is nothing new in the world now. It makes it familiar. A lot of films have call outs to previous films.
I found this video from this song and this channel is so underrated
Thanks so much for putting all the effort into this. You've answered all my questions!
Definitely their best work. Excellent music video too.
The rest is all rap :(
@@Flat_Earth_Addy Which parts are rapping?
@@judgeberry6071 All of them.
@@Flat_Earth_Addy Nope. There is nobody rapping. It's all samples. Did you watch the video?
@@judgeberry6071 Yes there is. Do not contradict me. It's all gangster rap. How do you think I know? How dare you ask me if I watched the videos, when you clearly have not.
