aaah. another day of helping the community by linking people listening to Since I Left You to the Zomba Promo. feeling really altruistic

lol @ a few conspicuous Internet comment leavers disappointed in OPN for the very limited usage of AI on Again

would be nice if The Avalanches would just leave riffusion or whatever running until it spits out enough viable samples and then sprinkle a little more AI magic on 'em to make 'em sound hi-fi if necessary and then show up without even building hype like "hey teens! here's Since I Left You parts 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 because we can release things so fast now that complicated sample clearance isn't holding us back"

"that's literally the only thing that ever held us back and otherwise we're literally just unstoppable music-churnin' machines here at The Avalanches HQ"

"our stylistic interests and objectives have actually not changed in over two decades and we really just want to feed you an endless stream of music that sounds essentially the same as that featured on our famous debut album"

"we were just kidding when we released things that were a little bit different"

"not that Wildflower was really a step down or anything I mean we stuck some downright beautiful bangers into that phat wad of tunage but come on you know you can't say no to the extended Since I Left You auditory universe"

"okay our fans can have little a extended Wildflower auditory universe too as a treat but no extended We Will Always Love You auditory universe not even a We Will Always Love You holiday special we have to devote our energy mainly toward retreading our most popular work from here on out"

"and when we are too old to keep doing it and work on dying instead you will have AI doing the rest of the work for us and it will all have quantifiably more heart and soul put into it than our feeble human minds could ever comprehend"

then people would be like "Since I Left You is a very good album of music with very good music on it" still

the avalanches will really go "hey do you wanna listen to since i left you again for the 5475839529054th time but this time the samples are slightly longer and cyndi laupers on it" and i go yes like a good little avalanches freak
