MichaelBMar 17, 2009Deep, yet accessible due to its fun, melancholy nature. The best of its genre, with its sheer variation keeping you listening again and again.

Nov 11, 2012Just listen to Frontier Psychiatrist, Since I Left you, and Electricity. Then, try to tell me that this album deserves anything less than a perfect score.

HenryH.May 25, 2002The first classic of dance music of the century.

larrysJun 11, 2005This has to be the most overrated cd ot the last 10 years. Sure it sounds different from other cd's, but so does the sound of a dentist drill. I have no desire to hear either sound again.

AbelL.Jul 24, 2002A great headphone album that would also be a hit at any party. Enjoyable at the first listen, and the 100th too.

GeoffGFeb 28, 2008It's like Night Ripper in the 50's, 60's, and 70's, multiplied by four thousand.

MikeSJun 2, 2005Opeed my eyes to sampling and nothing else since has come close. Equinoxx, if you know better please tell me, because this disc is toe tappin' good from the first beat to the last. *Frontier Psychiatrist is worth the purchase alone.

CentrifugeTNov 13, 2006Absolutely Brilliant! Off the wall cuts and samples. I've listened to it 100 times and I hear a new beat or fade every time Frontier Psychiatrist should just about single-handedly redefine the genre. It's crazy-cool

EndaPMar 28, 2006I hate to say this, but this may be the best album about the joy of music ever made. I have heard nothing better. A superb, superb, accomplishment.

OliverCJan 22, 2008The Avalanches bring a highly original mashup of samples from all over the places, to create their debut album Since I Left You. Everything moulds together perfectly to create a whacky adventure through music, as cliche as it sounds, bouncing with energy through every track. I don't think I've put only a single track on without having to listen to the whole album.

WesMOct 8, 2008Since I Left You, when listened to as a whole, is evocative of every huge, nightlong, multilocation banger you've ever experienced.

SirIsaacLimeDec 1, 2001Despite what The Onion says, "Endtroducing..." is still the best sample-based album of all time, but this is a close second.

A charming, witty pastiche of mashed up samples, beats, bangs, and bobs.... Truly a breakthrough in the world of dance music.

Entertainment WeeklyWhen the technique works, the results are exhilarating. [9 Nov 2001, p.111]

There's little doubt to Since I Left You's status as one of the most intimate and emotional dance records that isn't vocal-based.
