Fila Brazillia - Music how its meant to be........2002-01-24

This band are simply outstanding, they know there stuff and they make awesome music. If you like Chillout, then please please please, buy this, you can't be disappointed, it simply is a masterpiece. It is such a shame more people don't know about them. I first heard of them when I heard there "Another Late Night" Compliation album and knew straight away that this group were special. And now hearing there own music you just can't help but be wowed with the sounds these guys produce in there music.

This really is a great album, listen enjoy repeat...

Free the funk.......2001-02-25

It's about time that Fila Brazillia got out of their underground status. They R great, just like this cd. I already had "Brazillification" ( the double cd with the remixes ) and after a long time I've finally bought this one, and I'm glad I did.

It's a mix of all sorts of things ; techno, ambient, trip hop, world ( lovely percussion and stuff ), funk, jazzy stuff and lots of voice samples,...

Sometimes it's just like the songs go on forever. And sometimes they do... "The Sheriff" is a jam that goes on about 16 minutes or something.

For me, the two stand out tracks R "Mermaids" and "The Sheriff".

Blown away.......2001-02-16

This CD is my first excusion into the world of Fila Brazillia. They have been in my consciousness for a long time, but a never quite got around to making a purchase.

How foolish!

Old Codes, New Chaos is sublime. The mix of influences is as broad as the horizon, and the use of samples is very intelligent.

It is very hard to pigeon-hole Fila into a musical category, so I wont even try.

But, to give you some clue, it will appeal to anyone with an eclectic taste, that enjoys electronica without being wedded to it.

And the comparisons? The crisp sounds of Orbital, the samples of The Orb, the beats of William Orbit, the melodies of the Stone Roses.

Praise indeed.

Come to me Fila Brazillia, take control of my CD player!

Really great........2000-08-30

I think the thing that sets this disc apart from the other Fila releases is that it rarely if ever falls into the repetitiousness of some of the later songs. The sound is far more sparse, but just as funky and satisfying as the later releases.

Fila's first and smoothest album.......1999-03-05

One of the first artist albums to be released by the ultra-underground and under-hyped UK label, Pork, "Old Codes/New Chaos" remains perhaps the best chill-out house album to ever be released. In short, it's a classic. But if you need a little more convincing, then read on. Fila Brazillia's use of voice narratives--ranging from documentary descriptions of LSD government testing, the nature of money, and a criminal's confession--brilliantly links the instrumental music with fascinating ideas and impressions. Ranging from the supremely eerie to the unbelievably funky, Fila Brazillia offer a musical vision unseen perhaps since "Dark Side of the Moon." The deep grooves of "Whose Money" and "Brazilification," the dreamy trip-hop of "The Sheriff," and the epic funk explosion of "Pots & Pans," take the listener through highs and lows of landscape and velocity. Their influences and interpretations are awe-inspiring; ranging from jazz, acid-jazz, funk, soul, latin, brazillian,house, hip-hop, opera, etc... If you love music and you've opened your eyes to the endless possibilities of nineties dance, this album will certainly be a fresh surprise. Of course, even if the mainstream press did realize that Fila Brazillia are god's gift to modern music, Steve Cobby and Man McSherry, the men behind this music, probably wouldn't care and they'd probably disagree. This is one for the Do-it-Yourself visionaries and artists that are certainly more resourceful and more aplenty than mainstream pop and entertainment corporations would have us believe.
