Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Luck Be A Weirdo Tonight from profuse Hull-based duo Fila Brazillia sees them take a slightly more downtempo approach. Known for their quirky songwriting and colourful arrangements, this long player retains their trademark touches but once again stretches them in another direction. Starting with the live-feeling hip hop beat and simplistic wide-screen feel of the charmingly titled "Lieut Gingivitis Shit", the album careers off into the ever-enchanting and deeply idiosyncratic sonic world that Fila happily inhabit. As always there's a heavily percussive feel to these tracks that makes you want to shuffle and bop your head, but it's the emotive and imaginative wrappings of melody and texture that really make their work stand out. Featuring sudden guitar thrash outs ("Billy Goat Groupies"), uptempo randomness ("Hells Rarebit"), quaint acoustic chugs (the superbly titled "Rustic Bellyflop") and some sterner beats on the subtly bizarre "Van Allens Belt", this is another coruscating addition to the Fila oeuvre.--Paul Sullivan

Dan Sicko, Wired, 1997

Fila manage to sidestep the trappings and the criticisms of "electronica" - and kick out some amazing music in the process.

5.0 out of 5 stars Weird and Wonderful..., 13 Sep 2001

By A Customer

I bought this album ages ago and, upon looking through Amazon's collect of Fila Brazillia, I discover there is no review. Shocked!!! This is the sort of album you'll put on after coming home from the pub or a club with some friends and, after a couple of tracks, someone will ask "who's this, it's really good?"... and then weeks later you'll discover all your freinds have a Fila Brazillia collection. You'll feel a certain sense of pride having enlightened your friends and what's even better is that you can record their other releases from them. It's mellow, it's funky, it breaks, the tempo mixes and there's a certain element of experimentation too which, if you're into making your own music, you'll relish.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dissapointing from one of the greats of UK electronic music, 12 Aug 2002

By A Customer

This was actually the first Fila album i bought, and i have to say i found it to be a dissapointment, although by no means terrible, i found it to be a thoroughly middle of the road sort of album, the tracks all seemed almost the enbodiement of the word 'noodly' started off nicely but never develop into anything, and eventually your attention wanes. However, fortunately i wasn't put off by this album and bought 'maim that tune' which is in a different class altogether to this offering, so my advice if your new to Fila, don't start your collection with this.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best from Fila, 22 Jan 2004

By	"tintin00" - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

I recently bought a load of Fila albums on the strength of Maim that Tune and the cheap price amazon is offering them at.

Out of the ones I bought this is the least listened to one and I cant really put my finger on why. If you want my advice on a Fila album to buy go for Maim that Tune or Brazilifaction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fila on fine form
I heartily disagree with anything less than five stars for this classic release. Different from previous works, but the newly adopted style is not at all second-rate... Read more
