Since I Left You
by The Avalanches
November 6, 2001
This sample-driven Austrialian dance outfit scored a hit in its homeland with this, its debut full-length release (following three EP releases since 1997). The UK music press created a publicity avalanche for the band in the Spring of 2001, as the album picked up strong reviews (quotes from some appear below) and was featured in numerous articles. Packed with over 600 samples of recordings dating from the 1950's to the present (each one credited in the liner notes!) as well as original instrumentation, 'Since I Left You' is a varied and unique record.

This is also the only album where you'll find the newest New Order single, "Here to Stay," a collaboration with the Chemical Brothers that failed to appear on either group's latest LP.

A South Bronx Story
by ESG
May 19, 2000
'South Bronx Story' is a retrospective of the all-girl funk group from the Bronx. The 16 tracks on this disc span from 1981 to the early 1990's. Although highly influential and well-regarded by critics, ESG is not well known, thanks in large part to the scarcity of their material available. However, many of their songs are recognizable thanks to the fact that they have been sampled by numerous artists (the Beastie Boys and LL Cool J, to name but two) throughout the '90's.
