[Cellkitty]

um.... no

[mdemitassi]

this is soo intense :D

[SiEmG]

i understand the title

[wiccan4ever]

i don't really understand the negative comments on this song. i like it. it's addicting in the weirdest ways.

[FreddieSuperstar]

alien signals incoming

[migger248]

what woudl you call this type of music?

[SytheClaw]

@migger248 something like electronic abstract

[ck675]

@migger248 Exactly.

[precisionHEADSHOTZZ]

DUMB!!

[crumbstheskipper]

GX-1?

[dreamORwakeup]

yamaha doesnt make the sh-1000, roland does. also it is not a theramin, its a synthesizer keyboard. anyways, awesome song.

[EctoplasmicResidue]

@dreamORwakeup

Yamaha is among the leading piano makers in the world, with over a hundred years of piano making history (which is special considering how young an instrument the piano actually is) they produce some of the greatest grand pianos in the world competing with Steinway and Boesendorfer. While I have good experience with Roland, it's like you're trying to diss on Ferrari and saying your crappy old Volvo is better.

[JSFER2]

@EctoplasmicResidue don't talk shit on Volvo! lol

[JSFER2]

@EctoplasmicResidue just though i'd let you know, your username made my day, thanks.

[rokolczuk]

This is actually one and only track by The Avalanches I really can't stand :/

[aaasamaaa]

for any one who doesn't know, this all SH-1000.

[caribind3]

I shouldn't like this.......but it's awesome! :D

[TheScreamingRetard]

shit... not on itunes..ughh

[TheScreamingRetard]

metal theramin fucks shit up!

[peteyroxx]

This is what happens when i eat burritos...

[HeavySoaddict]

@peteyroxx HAHAHHAHAHAHAH

[JSFER2]

@peteyroxx I just woke my mom up laughing so hard....thank you!

[WingedLibra81]

thats a theramin hes playing. i think thats how its spelt

[druzzdil]

wht a shitt !

[shredmaster47]

this is what my brain sounds like....sober

[notanothervj]

Ok guys this track was one of two B-sides on the UK release of 'Frontier Psychiatrist' - also the other b-side was also fantastic but the name of it fails me atm

[dunsta76]

it could be on the electricity ep too, maybe released between the rock city 7 inch and elproducto, the best era for avalanche rock i think :)

[FFScantgetadamnname]

I love this song.... Anyone ever notice how certain parts of it resemble "moonlight drive" by the doors?

anyway, i love this song. the avalanches are, in my book, one of the rare groups that are helping to progress the entire genre of "techno" (house, trance, w/e) as a whole into music with more meaning behind it.

[xrockangelx]

@FFScantgetadamnname No, I hadn't noticed that it resembled "Moonlight Drive" at all.. How do you think it does?

[FFScantgetadamnname]

@xrockangelx

yeah it really doesnt.

i was pretty high when i wrote that and i heard a resemblance between 1:02 - 1:15 and "it's our turn to try. parked beside the ocean on our moonlight drive"

[leesypeasy64]

Wtf.

This doesnt remind me of the avalanches.. sounds really odd.

Squeaky and alien of sorts. Though i'd like another listen to this album if it's proper earlier stuff. Seems they've really progressed, could anyone help?

[Gastrophetes]

@leesy, yeah it doesn't really seem to 'fit'.

[jaycurtisadams]

This reminds me of earthbound, for some reason.

[coolbeans123d]

i love the avalanches but i have never herd this sung how did u finde this record. iv alwase tried to get their music and now that i have a computer i can do so and listen to their music.

[avrilcadabra]

love this song and there older stuff, pity there albums are hard to get. Seen them play it live in little pub in melbourne back in the day XD

[thestarsarelovely]

ya where the hell is this album????????

[JMR3productions]

The Avalanches only have on album, Since I left You.

[blafever]

i can not find this album anywhere in stores or online. i'm dying for it. if someone has it or a link to it, i would love them.

[wilsonb1992]

i like the fact how they take the sound from a yamaha engine and just highten the pitch of it :D

[alexander224]

Thats not what they did you fucking idiot.

[wilsonb1992]

yes they fuckin did u asshole y the fuk do u think its called "yamaha" superstar arshole thats because it has the sound of a bike in it u fuckin ass rapin dick weed!

[darinneagle]

yamaha makes keyboards also ya douche

[altoid2k4]

owned hahaha

[aaasamaaa]

The exact keyboard they used for the song is Yamaha SH-1000. Not a motor.

[janthevaliant]

this song was amazing live

amazing

[Skirlasvoud]

That trumpet sounds like someone in a farting contest.

I don't really know what to make of this music. Avalanche makes some of the weirdest stuff.

[godonarod]

lol, you had to say that didn't you? Now I can't hear anything but farting... =P

[rock4eva13]

psst, it's a synth lead saw, not a trumpet.
