Talk:Since I Left You

Untitled
Does anyone know all of the samples used on the album?, I've heard there's about 900 Jeffy 16:07, 12 Sep 2004 (UTC)


 * I think the list is on the cover of the CD. Dysprosia 08:15, 10 Nov 2004 (UTC)


 * As is noted in the article, there are (at least) two versions of the album. The version I have has no specific sample credits. From memory, the later version (with altered and removed samples) has much more text on the inside cover, with extensive sample source info (though I doubt it is comprehensive).

<^>v!!This album is connected!!v<^>

 * All song titles serve as redirects to this album, have their own pages, or have been placed at the appropriate disambiguation pages.--Hraefen Talk 21:19, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I took the liberty to change the spelling of the German legal entity to the correct "GmbH"

A sample in "A Different Feeling"
The song "A Different Feeling" contains samples in addition to Debbie Reynold's "Tammy". One of these samples is a classical piece with string instruments. Does anyone know what this is? Thanks in advance -cun 09:14, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Copyvio?
The production notes section reads like they were taken straight from the CD's booklet. Can someone provide a citation? --Chris Griswold (  ☎  ☓  ) 16:16, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * This has been removed, it was kind of listy and not really up to WP:Albums standards. Andrzejbanas (talk) 04:51, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

Over which seas?
It says "Initial overseas versions had some samples removed." Since the band is originally Australian, and had much of their success in the UK, I'm wondering which region it is that had all the samples intact. -76.23.72.228 (talk) 23:09, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Re-write
Hi all, I totally re-wrote this article. I hope no one minds too much. Please feel free to correct any of my horrendous grammar and spelling mistakes. Cheers! Andrzejbanas (talk) 04:53, 26 September 2009 (UTC)

DID YOU DELETE ALL THOSE INFORMATIONS FROM WHERE THE SAMPLES ARE FROM??!?!?!?!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.195.127.235 (talk) 09:42, 16 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes I did. We can't just list information unsourced. And that's in the album linear notes anyways and it's nearly trivial. Besides, the group admits that they don't even remember all the samples they use. Andrzejbanas (talk) 15:54, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
 * The samples can be added, at least if they're credited.
 * I think we should remove the samples. Discogs is not a reliable source and all the samples are not credited in the book either. I think it should be removed. Andrzejbanas (talk) 18:52, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 * As there was no further discussion for months. I'll remove those samples again. Andrzejbanas (talk) 13:33, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

The Burbs sample
Does anyone have a source to confirm there is a sample from movie the Burbs? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.59.197.109 (talk) 03:29, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Should disco be included in the infobox? Dan56 (talk) 16:13, 14 October 2018 (UTC)

Votes

 * Yes - per the available sources mentioned below. Dan56 (talk) 15:30, 14 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes as per the reliable sources Atlantic306 (talk) 19:06, 29 September 2018 (UTC)

Discussion
The article currently cites a few notable sources mentioning disco, and there are other sources online that do so too:


 * Robert Christgau called it "string-section disco" (Since I Left You).
 * "a psychedelic disco fry-up" (The A.V. Club)
 * "sun-kissed disco-pop" (NME)
 * "champagne and disco cruise of a record" (Trey Zenker, Tidal's online magazine)
 * "Since I Left You is a disco record." (Don Saas, a contributor to Baeble music and Paste)
 * "goofball disco extravaganza" (Sam Goldner, contributor to Pitchfork, Spin, and Fact)

The most explicit of this viewpoint is Christgau, who is cited in the article. Granted, "disco-pop" (NME) is not strong, but the others at the very least indicate in my opinion that this is more than a fringe viewpoint, and merits inclusion in the infobox.
