Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Old Codes, New Chaos is the debut LP from Hull-based groovers Fila Brazillia. The duo released their debut single "Mermaids" in 1990, but waited four years to put out this long player, which is based around a collection of their previously released singles and a smattering of new material. Though the duo became known after this for their erudite genre-blending, Old Codes... shows how much of a house bias they had when they started out. Lush, four to the floor electronica is casually joined together by intriguing recorded dialogue, which covers everything from economic recessions ("Whose Money") to secret government LSD tests ("Serratia Marcescens"), all sandwiched between the Brazilian speeches that begin and finish the album. An overt Chicago/Detroit feel can be heard throughout the tracks here, albeit with a modern Fila twist. Aside from their take on the house vibe, there's also gorgeous up tempo break beat on "The Sheriff", groovalicious hip hop flava on Fila Funk and abstract behaviour on Strange Thoughts. A typically varicoloured outing from Hull's most prominent beatsmiths.--Paul Sullivan


Frank Tope, Mixmag, 1994

There can be little doubt that this is one of the best dance music albums ever made.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fila Brazillia - Music how its meant to be., 24 Jan 2002
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...

5.0 out of 5 stars What a steal!, 4 Jul 2001
... for most of the Fila Brazillia back catalogue? Has the world gone quite mad?

Fila Brazillia are one of the most influential duos of the last 10 years. Their impact on chillout, downtempo, and general sampladelic mayhem cannot be underestimated. Just buy the lot!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Timeless, 22 Jan 2004
By "tintin00" - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
I have only bought this CD recently as i have begun to update my Fila Brazillia back catalogue.

I believe this is the first one they produced and although it does sound like early nineties music it is a brilliant timeless piece of music.

Thoroughly recommended

4.0 out of 5 stars Nicely chilled-funk
The tracks on this Fila release aim more at the mellow house/ambient/funk market. This combination may sound strange but once you hear the CD you'll understand. Read more
