Trivia / Since I Left You

Go To

  • Bad Export for You: Some samples had to be taken out of international releases due to licensing issues, most notably the flute sample in "Summer Crane".
  • Cut Song: "With My Baby", which was supposed to be placed between "Stay Another Season" and "Radio". It ended up as a B-Side on "Frontier Psychiatrist" instead.
  • Late Export for You: Due to the sheer number of samples, and the group's difficulty in finding labels up to the task of clearing them for an international release. They ultimately signed multiple deals with labels both indie (XL Recordings in Europe, Toy's Factory in Japan) and major (Sire Records in North America) for release outside Australia, and the whole process led to the album releasing in late 2001 in these territories, nearly a year after the Australian release in late 2000.
  • Remade for the Export: A rare music example — sample copyright meant that some samples that were in the songs in the Australian version are missing from the international releases.
  • Sleeper Hit: Not even the group had much faith in it.
  • What Could Have Been: This was originally planned to be a narrative Concept Album, with the plot being a love story described as "an international search for love from country to country. The idea of a guy following a girl around the world and always being one port behind." The band ultimately decided against it out of fear of making their themes too obvious, but this direction still heavily influences the cosmopolitan, international soundscape of the final product (it's highly likely that the ambient "Pablo's Cruise" interlude was a nod to the story the album used to be).
