If you were to ask me for my favorite album of the decade, it’d definitely be The Avalanches‘ Gimix (which was eventually chopped down to Since I Left You). The album hit at a time where I could only find music through the radio/MTV, and I’d never heard anything like it. It’s still the standard by which I define other sample clad artists (like Air France, Lemon Jelly and Quiet Village). I guess I’ll always be stuck waiting for their eternally suspended sophomore release. Javelin comes very close to rekindling the highlife aspect of  The Avalanches‘ sound. This Brooklyn-via-Providence duo better keep stomping around for a second album or I’ll melt. Bonus The Very Best remix.
