The Avalanches to return Part IX

It's hard not to feel just a frisson of excitement at the latest 'Avalanches to return' rumour. This despite the fact that said return has been mooted in 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005........Today's rumour comes courtesy of Stereogum, who report that, having cleared all samples on their sophomore album, the band are to return in 2010 with new product.
Originally released in late 2000, 'Since I Left You' is a shoo-in (well, here at least) for one of the greatest albums of this past decade; it's a headfuckingly wonderful combination of some 900-3,500 samples (depending on your source) that manages to sound both coherent and utterly out of control.
