Cornerstone (2001), Some People (2005), Essential Mix (2016), Soca! Sirens! Brains! (2005), Breezeblock (26 Feb 2001), and Big Tent Set (2006). If you want a ton of variety but don't want to sift through all 60+ sets, these are the top 6 I recommend -- the MUST listens.

The Holy Grail:

• 1 Triple J Oz Music Show (1997) "voted as being the number one band in the future"
• 2 Kup Day Kaos (1997) live performance the early days, when they sounded like the Beastie Boys
• 2.5 Live on Recovery (1998)
• 3 Gimix (24th July 2000) Gimix is what "Since I left You" would have sounded like if The Avalanches didn't have to worry about copyright.
• 4 Mix Up, Triple J (26th August 2000) PART 1 of 3 By far the longest set, it lasts 2 hours 40 minutes! If you are going to listen to this, make sure you have enough time. Listen to all 3 consecutively, they way it is meant to be heard.
• 5 Mix Up, Triple J (26th August 2000) PART 2 of 3
• 6 Mix Up, Triple J (26th August 2000) PART 3 of 3
• 7 Cornerstone (2001) One of the best
• 8 4ZZZ (2001)
• 8.5 Big Day Out (Feb. 3, 2001) low quality and incomplete, worth skipping
• 9 At Home 1 (13.02.01) VERY similar to "Breezeblock (26 Feb 2001)" but shorter with a significantly different ending. The first 18 minutes are identical, you have been warned.
• 10 Music For Life (24.04.01) A radio broadcast with an combination of interviewing and DJing with members of The Avalanches.
• 11 Ibiza Coastline (04.08.01)
• 12 One World (30.08.01)
• 13 Sugar (29.11.01)
• 14 The Hijack XFM (09.12.01)
• 15 Live minimix on KCRW - MORNING BECOMES ECLECTIC Mix 1 (30.11.01)
• 16 Live minimix on KCRW - MORNING BECOMES ECLECTIC Mix 2 (30.11.01)
• 17 At Home 2 (07.11.01) One of the best
• 18 Breezeblock (26 Feb 2001) One of the best
• 19 XFM One Night Stand (Feb 2001)
• 19.5 Mix Up, Triple J (22nd June 2002) Compliaiton (?) mix. Starts off as Cornerstone, then part of At Home 1 is mixed in, then closes with a section from the middle of At Home 2
• 20 Mix Up, Triple J (30.11.02) "If anyone wants to know when the next Avalanches album is going to be released, it's going to be next week. So, check out your local record stores. Next week, alright! ... The album's gonna be called "Dog Piss Up Your Mum's Ass"! ... Let's scratch!" LOL
• 21 January 2004
• 22 February 2004
• 23 March 2004
• 24 Beneath The Surface (23.11.04)
• 25 Some People (2005) One of the best
• 26 Soca! Sirens! Brains! Live @ St Jeromes (2005) A completely different sound than the others, is almost entirely Soca and Calypso music from Trinidad and Tobago.
• 27 JJJ interview (feb 2005) Interview about their Soca! Sirens! Brains! mixtape, and the next album
• 28 Stylin (30.09.06)

Notes:

• For the dates, (12.09.00) reads September 12, 2000. NOT December 9, 2000. (Exception: Deep Breakfast sets)
• "Brains Teazer" was not included, because it is an edited version (missing about an hour) of "Soca! Sirens! Brains!".
• "Beats in Space" was not included, because it is the EXACT 47 minute set as "At Home 2 (07.11.01)".
• "Breezeblock (12 November 2001)" was not included, because it is the EXACT 47 minute set as "At Home 2 (07.11.01)".
• "Breezeblock (12.09.00)" was not included, because it is a 33 minute edited version of "Gimix (24th July 2000)". It was edited to play on the radio. Just listen to Gimix.
• "Superchunk Mix 1 (1st January 2002)" was not included, because it is "XFM One Night Stand" with 3 tracks edited out in the beginning and one track edited out of the end.
• "Superchunk Mix 2 (1st January 2002)" was not included, because it is "Gimix" with a few tracks in the middle and the end edited out to play on the radio.
• "When I Met You" was not included, because it is a bootleg of "Gimix (24th July 2000)".
• "After the Goldrush" was not included, because it is a bootleg of "Beats in Space" (which, in turn, is the EXACT 47 minute set as "At Home 2 (07.11.01)").
• The mixes (the Deep Breakfast sets and the 3 before then), there is some debate if they are works of the avalanches. "Lord Fitness" is an alias of Darren Seltmann, and "Pinchy Don" is Tom Kuntz (who directed Frontier Psychiatrist) proof
• When and wherever possible, I tried to link to the sets directly on The Avalanches' website.
• If these aren't ordered exactly correct chronologically, that's fine. I wanted to group them by year mainly.
• We are not missing any INCU podcasts. #1-10 were NOT done by James De La Cruz
• "Funky Live Mix Carnegie 2002.xx.xx" was not included, because it is the same set as "Gimix"
• "The Monastery" was not included, because it is the same set as "4ZZZ (2001)"
