Darren Seltmann from Australian electro/hip pop group, The Avalanches, selects five of his favourite tracks to sample. ’1. Kojak – David Rutter. This guy was so pissed off when Kojak got taken off the air that he wrote a song; 2. Tension – DJ Shadow. Better than Kojak, but without a concept it can’t be number one; 3. Rum Is Macho – Mighty Sparrow. The lyrics indicate that rum became uncool in the late 70s. Sparrow disagreed. 4. Fever – Lord Kitchener. Kitch singing that he’s sick and dying from dancing and singing; 5. Breakdown – Arrow. Everyone needs to breakdown’. [see also The Sleepy Jackson; Hot Chip; The Glimmers]

His next as-yet untitled album will be a cycle of songs, remixes and videos that fans can string together any way they want. Wired calls the new project The Infinite Album and suggests that this may be the future of a format badly in need of a makeover. ‘In an ideal world, I’d find a way to let people truly interact with the records I put out, not just remix the songs, but maybe play them like a video game’. Another idea he’s toying with is moving graphics that pop up on your computer when you play different songs from the album.

They are planning on posting the videos on sites like YouTube once the album comes out’. Nice one. [see also The Avalanches] [...]
