By far the most impressive and creative use of you tube/ audio from video as a media source to generate totally new music from scratch that I've ever seen and this was like 5 yrs ago...?
the 90s were the time when i was seriously getting in music and seeing bands, going to doofs, etc. looking back at this video looks like a video in 1950s viewed in the 90s, if that makes sense.
This is hands down one of the best gems I've ever found on youtube. Thanks so much. So interesting to see what sampling was like back then and we couldn't have a more perfect example. As I side note I was born in Melbourne in the nineties and seeing those green / silver trains gave me mad flashbacks to my childhood.
Such an amazing album. It absolutely blew my mind back in 2000, and is still one of my favourite of all time. 17 years of rumours they were releasing a second album and when eventually Wildflower came out I can't believe how good that second album was. Very rarely 2nd albums live up to the hype, especially with the huge wait, but it was way better than I ever could have expected.
@@HarryRedmond45 it took me a little longer to get into than the first 2, but after quite a few listens I'm now really appreciating what a great record it is.
I actually LOVE the third! Love the hip hop / disco combination. Second album was just okay for me. Got my tix to see them Feb 2022 here in Denver. Anyone else seeing them live?
That extra element to the track at the 11:00 mark is so amazing! I so hope that we hear this in a new, more finished mix (as intended with more cleared samples) of the original album at some point.
I'll be honest with you, I only heard of them a few years back. They sampled Michael Jackson and after that jam I was really in love with their sound. They have a good mix of both tech and live instrumentation, which I really admire. I'd like to put them up with artists like Massive Attack, which I also really love.
Where are these guys now? I'd love to see an interviewr or footage of them. They were kids at the time. And after I typed this....I found an interview with them in June 2021. Awesome!
For those wondering, the songs/albums at 4:02 are: ahmad jamal/at the top airport/soundtrack ???? blowfly/rapp dirty cheetah/rock n roll woman ernie sigley/here's ernie francoise hardy lou fortunate/hooray for god ???/??? ???/captures? never ever dance again pepper ???/12" percusive vaudeville rampage/veil of mourn ray repp/the time has come ron goodwin/glass mountain royal? ???/soft sounds sailor/checkpoint
So much craft went into this back in the day, must of been so labouring. Having that many members all working together in the same direction collecting and finding records, putting it through those crappy computers, getting the samples cleared, mixing, releasing and performing all the material. It’s a bit depressing to think all you need is a laptop now.
The high pitch vocal sample at 10:56 that Darren is singing along with... I have to know: is that on any of their released material? So far I can't find a version of the "Extra Kings" track that has this vocal sample on it!! Dying to know if I can find it somewhere!
or 2000. Assuming you guessed 1999 because that is the year they started production, it could have been early-mid 2000, after 1999 but before they released it in late November. The manager at Modular said "we said we would have the album done by the beginning of this year," so my guess is 2000.
When it shows Darren in his home studio around the 3:30 mark, you can see the files on the computer are dated 1998, and he says they have only been using the program for 3 or 4 months, so 1998 apparently.
I don't think all of them were cleared especially the more obscure ones, but the majority of them were. And yeah that's part of the reason they take forever to put out a record
This was from a series of 15 minute mini-docos the ABC in Australia ran in the spots between programs to fill out the hour (they were a commercial-free station back then). It interviewed artists working in various mediums about their practice, but I think this might have been the only music-related one.
@@mauriciomunoz124 Don't know about the drum sample, sorry. It seems they were messing around with the samples and that version of Summer Crane didn't appear in the final mix, like the warm voice sample you can hear in Extra Kings a bit later.
The fact that we got to see The Avalanches make the ending song to the best album of all time is seriously amazing.
It was unreal that this was even before Since I Left You immortalized them as legends
I love that bit at 10:51 when the flute comes in and Steve gives a big smile. Wonderful music.
it's hard to believe that this record was made from thousands of vinyl record samples that you buy from a junk shop
its really not that hard to believe brus.. its called sampling..
My life is made entirely from junk

@@faceinvada I’m trying to delete your comment girl.
@@faceinvada yeah? Show us your work
The first Avalanches album is absolute genius, it's like a movie in musical form.
Wildflower is a great record too, but they lost me a bit after that.
I first heard "Frontier Psychiatrist" on college radio over 20 years ago. I blew me away.
did you need ribs removed for that?
its so interesting to see the people behind the music. The Avalanches have always had a special place with me
Finally! A little peek behind the curtain. Avalanches are beautiful people. Thank you to the documentarians.
melbourne in the 90s. what a nostalgic trip
the 90s were the time when i was seriously getting in music and seeing bands, going to doofs, etc. looking back at this video looks like a video in 1950s viewed in the 90s, if that makes sense.
10:49 yeah, you fucking well would smile like that hearing such a magnificent tune and sample transition
3:39 pretty incredible that this moment of sample finding was caught on video.
Which song is used/ which song is it in
@@StanleyMarak th-cam.com/video/_hGSgC2O324/w-d-xo.html Extra Kings from Since i left You.
Extra Kings
I Shazam'ed it, found the name of the song and then looked on Genius Lyrics for what song it was sampled in
as Sampled based music enthusiast, it's feel ashamed to not know the avalanches early :(
Well it’s a bit interesting being the son of of one of the members let’s say I have my dad jokes about all the records that I’ll have in his will
This album has stood the test of time..a true masterpiece..miles ahead of its time. Wildflower was worth the wait also
These guys inspired me to venture into the world of synths and samplers from traditional instruments. 🍻

Hey man, if you didn't know, there is a great sampling documentary here on YT that gives the history of hip hop. Cheers!
@@RSCL_BEATZ And it's called? That sounds like an interesting way to synthesize good info while doing some light housekeeping
@@Alex-ju8tr It's called "Sampling Documentary". Cheers

What do you think of the third?
@@HarryRedmond45 it’s good and atmospheric
and now the amazing third

Electricity has been with me since 2004, that master piece take me into a cosmic trip...
The applications that they used on that old Macintosh! Way ahead of their times!
absolutely incredible musicians. Having an ear for samples for songs that are completely made of samples is insane.
It’s absolutely CRIMINAL the extra samples were removed in Extra Kings. I keep rewinding the clip - so beautiful. SHAME.
Agreed! Like hearing it again for the first time.
Gimmix tape, look for it :)
@@myfaveyoutube you really got my hopes up. I downloaded it but it sadly wasn’t there 😭😭

One of the greatest albums of all time , pioneering and put together with a real smooth touch , thank you
They're in a league of their own. They produce beautiful music and even music videos. 👀👍👍

my god that part sounded so pretty, I wonder why it was cut
Pretty interesting to see all the old keyboards and mixers that where used in this video to end crowding my room
This is a little treasure. Thanks for uploading.
I sometimes wonder if artists get upset they were sampled, or get happy they were sampled by the Avalanches.
If you like The Avalanches check out Susumu Yokota, I'm sure he was a big inspo on these guys
Nujabes is great too bro!
Dude, thank you so much. thanks for sharing this artist, unreal!
thanks for this vid, never seem they moving and speaking.
Me too! lol
man those horns that come in at 11:05 im so fucking sad this version got canned
Legends in their own lifetime.

@@sk69to96 they did 2 songs with Tricky on their latest album
The Avalanches! Sure to be recognised as influential and unique.
Most inspirational album in the world for me. Thank you for posting this video.
Still my favorite video ever. Truly inspiring.
Fantastic to see the band and how they create; thanks!
Brilliant, thanks for the upload
great soulful music, love it
They really are geniuses like the Van Gogh's of music.
Its amazing to finally see there faces
this is genuine gold! seriously!!
Thanks for this g
Absolute legends!

They released a new album last year and are doing a few interviews
@@CarrotAndCo Well 2 of them are. The rest are no longer there last time I checked.
Darren left the group and he was the heart and soul of the Avalanches. After the first record, they aren’t the same and you can hear it
amazing
Just come out with a modern classic you guys, no pressure!
=One Love=

I hope they decide to release the El Producto EP on vinyl 🤞

thankyou all and thanks avalanches-gelled with their music after a spell in coma and hospital - a lucky accident
best grup ever!!!

How is it depressing that art has gotten easier to make? Wouldn't it be more depressing if art got harder to make?
Even still..it's no damn wonder why it took so long to make Wildflower
This video should be called the making of Extra Kings
So kewt
I freaking love Robbie Chater.
3:03 - I had that TV when I was a kid!
Etoh - Summer Crane
The guy who recorded the footage is also a G
Tell me more please :)
Wavepad. The exact program I use to this day to make my sampled music. (Not a shameful promotion)
3:37 I recognize that song from Moonrise Kingdom!
9:52 Noel Edmonds is doing well for himself
3:39 Summer Crane!
11:00 i really think this version of extra kings sounds so good does anyone know if it’s online anywhere?
3:46 etoh and summer crane
Anyone know where is that big place they were digging for records?
I don’t remember that joint.
Good times!
I own one CD - 'Since I Left You' by The Avalanches
Well, you're halfway there to owning all their albums
Michael Tsang Not for long
@@TheStinkusofYore one third of the way ;)
Get the vinyls instead. You won’t regret it
The high pitch vocal sample at 10:56 that Darren is singing along with... I have to know: is that on any of their released material? So far I can't find a version of the "Extra Kings" track that has this vocal sample on it!! Dying to know if I can find it somewhere!
I've also wondered for a while what that sample was! It's a shame it didn't make it to the final cut 😞
I don’t think that sample cleared
How did I miss that ???
What year was this? I'm guessing 1999?
or 2000. Assuming you guessed 1999 because that is the year they started production, it could have been early-mid 2000, after 1999 but before they released it in late November. The manager at Modular said "we said we would have the album done by the beginning of this year," so my guess is 2000.

I want to know the track id for the credits
Is this the late 80s to the mid 90s. Camera style wise? Music awsome tho keep up with the music and music videos
since I left you came out mid 2000s so this documentary probably was filmed around then
12:35
electricity right?
Anyone know what that train station is at 1:17? I'm assuming somewhere in inner-city Melbourne...
pretty sure its parliament station
@@xBelieve1 Yeah it is
Anyone know what sort of recording program/software i need to make sample based music? Like at 4:20 where Darren is working on Summer Crane
Any DAW would work, it depends on what kinda of workflow you want, I would suggest Ableton live
Thank you very much !
Ableton g.
Studio Vision for Macintosh
@@cyandinomashups lmao
Hey. Please help my to find a song from Intro of this Video. It begins with words: Take your time, Listen.
It's Rap Fever from the El Producto album
SILY change the way i listen to music/sound.
I had no idea they cleared these samples how? Aren’t there like hundreds on this album
I don't think all of them were cleared especially the more obscure ones, but the majority of them were. And yeah that's part of the reason they take forever to put out a record
0:28 DUDE WHAT IS THAT TRACK
Rap Fever by The Avalanches
Where can I find the song playing at 10:46 ? Did they even release it?
The song is "Extra Kings" however it is different from the final album version released.
Wow thank you! I must have not given the song a full listen
Anybody knows the title of the song in the very beginning please?
The song is "Rap Fever"
What program are they using to edit?
I read online that they used Studio Vision as their DAW
I love the avalanches but... a Cleveland Indians shirt with a Houston Astros hat? Not good
what's the song at 10:33 ?
Extra Kings
2000
I never knew that Friendly Jordies was in the Avalanches.
cleveland!!!
man we got so much more technology today and yet we overwhelmingly make trash imo
what is that sample at 9:20. dying to know
Track title Extra Kings.
If you asked about the female vocal, that’s Françoise Hardy - Oh Oh Chéri. Album title Tous Les Garçons Et Les Filles.
@@shizzyhizzy2934 do you know where the strings are from?
