While the international press seems to have covered every other electronica act but them, Fila Brazillia's Steve Cobby and Dave Pork have created some of the most lasting music in their hotly hyped genre. It's their playful indulgences, not to mention their smashing good taste, that make Fila so fine. The British duo maintain their majestic muse on their first-ever mix CD, Another Late Night, dropping aromatic funk, jazz, hip-hop, dub, and weird audio snippets in one of the best left-field releases of the year.
The record opens with John Barry's luscious "Persuader's Theme" before rolling through the Infesticons' rollicking old-school rap ("post my testicles on virtual e-mail"), Prince Alla's spacey dub crooning, Mr. Scruff's spooky '30s swing, the Beta Band's yawning stoner anthems, as well as tracks from a mangled cast that includes Marvin Gaye, Brian Eno, David Holmes, Nightmares on Wax, and Fila themselves on "Nature Boy." This is late-night, lost-attitude, can't-move music, a soundtrack for summertime bliss, going bonkers, or heading off to bed. --Ken Micallef

Roaming a psychedelic no-man's land where Tom Waits and Jack Kerouac might converge, Stan Ridgway is an inimitable singer and precision essayist whose song characters wear life's grit under their fingernails. It's doubtful Ridgway ever broke the legs of a no-goodnik named Bing, but gosh darn if you're not thoroughly convinced of it by the end of "Bing Can't Walk," one of a handful of creaky, ramshackle gems gathered together on the odds-and-sods Holiday in Dirt. He may scribble outside the lines musically, but Ridgway's harp-goosed, art-rock vignettes are enormously detailed--witness the bloopy, futuristic "After the Storm," the eerily straight-faced midtempo rocker "Whatever Happened to You?" or the unlisted cover of Charlie Rich's "Behind Closed Doors," cheekily delivered in a character that might have been crafted by Bill Murray circa Caddyshack. Admittedly an acquired taste, Ridgway repays diligence with cartwheeling, consistently unexpected, possibly true parables sucked straight out of the twilight zone that is contemporary America. If Jackson Pollack paintings had sound, they'd probably sound a lot like this. --Kim HughesAlbum Description

HID has everything that has endured me to SR over the years. Losers and hard luck cases and guys named Pete whose lives didn't turn out quite the way they planned. Moments of joy and moments of desperation and moments of unbearable angst. Atmosphere pieces that make you check in the closets and under the bed.
Great stuff.

This addition to the Another Late Night series follows hot on the heels of Zero 7's popular 2001 debut, Simple Things, which fit in nicely with the current staying-in-is-the-new-going-out trend in dance music. What better way to reward fans of all things downtempo and chilled out than to lend their record boxes to one of the genre's most potent and respected series? As a look into the influences behind Simple Things, it's illuminating; every song sounds like it could have been playing on a corner jukebox while they were making the album. From the DJ Shadow-esque "Channel Suite 1" by the Cinematic Orchestra to the Stylistics' trippy nursery version of "People Make the World Go Round," this is music to simultaneously open your heart and nod your head to. --Ruby TuesdayCustomer Reviews:
Mixed mixes.......2005-04-17
It starts off on a suitably mellow note with Yesterday's New Quintet, and all seems to be going well for a short time. Then the Quasimoto "Real Eyes" comes in. Don't get me wrong -- it's a wonderful song, and an excellent musical choice. But placed directly after the laid-back trippiness of Quintet's "Sunrays," it comes across as surreally harsh.
After that comes a stretch of more gritty hip-hop, followed by some tripped-out jazz and mellow Joy Zippers, and... more hip-hop, sprinkled with electronica here and there. It ends on a softer note with a trippy cover by the Stylistics, and a song by Zero 7 themselves.
Unlike bands like Snow Patrol and the Flaming Lips, don't expect Zero 7's mix CD to be full of music that shaped their sound. Because there's very little resemblance between, say, Quasimoto and Zero 7's sounds. Both are enjoyable, but there's literally no resemblance at all.
But the problem with Zero 7's "Another Late Night" is not so much the songs selected, but the way they are presented. It seems like Zero 7 simply chose a bunch of songs they liked, and tossed them onto a CD willy-nilly. As a result, they lurch from one musical style to another, and none of the songs flatter one another.
Had the assorted songs been rearranged, Zero 7's entry in the "Another Late Night" series could have been excellent listening. As it is, it's an uncomfortable tangle of different musical styles.
Great CD!!!!!!!!!!!!.......2005-04-05
Jeez, how dim are you lot?.......2004-09-22
Cinematic Orchestra's string-drenched Channel 1 Suite, a dub workout of Roots Manuva's Witness, Madlib's helium-voiced alias Quasimoto and winds down with Herbert's mighty remix of Serge Gainsbourg.
Check it out, unless you strictly sit on the Groove Armada/Fatboy Slim fence there'll be plenty of new albums worth investigating on the strength of it.

DJ Dan's follow-up to 1999's Funk the System doesn't have the jagged vibes of that record, employing a lighter touch and an ear toward trance techno's particular sense of flow. But unlike the crystal-clear music of trance gods like John Digweed or Chistopher Lawrence, DJ Dan's mix has a dirty urbanity about it that gives it an appealing street smarts. It's a fine line to walk, since too much down-and-dirtiness will turn off those who like their trance to soar in the clouds, while not enough will alienate subterranean club dwellers with a soft spot for the old school. Still, Dan manages it, especially working with slam-dunk material like Carl Cox's "Dr. Funk" and influential progressive house from Eddie Amador, whose approach typifies the uncommonly funky blends found on the Yoshitoshi label. As smooth and sumptuous as trance music can be, it's a pleasantly jolting slap upside the head to hear a DJ with a velvety touch for dance-floor vibe mix in a rougher, house-flavored edge to the proceedings. --Matthew CookeCustomer Reviews:
The CD that grows on you.......2004-11-29
Till now DJ Dan has been all about funky make you dance all night music. This CD I assume was DJ Dans way of trying something new.
Now Im not saying that the CD is bad, its just not the DJ Dan that we have come to know and love. So if your thinking of purchasing this CD because you want to hear good old dan spin his funk house, then you may want to think about the purchase again. This CD however has grown on me the more times I listen to it.
The repetition never ends.......2004-01-07

First in a new spin off from the hugely successful Another Late Night series, FC Kahuna introduce Another Fine Mess with their collection of 17 tunes to start off the night with. Slipcase. Azuli. 2003.Customer Reviews:
Misunderstood.......2006-10-07
The blending of tracks here is really good. As someone else already mentioned, Kahuna's ability to make the songs blend so smoothly is truly something to be appreciated--especially from those of us who have worked as DJs and know what a tricky art this is.
The album's strength, however, might also be its fault in the minds of some. Moving across so many different styles might not be the type of sound everyone is looking for in an electronic album. Still, I believe credit should be given where credit is due. It's not perfect, but I think it was an ambitious and stellar effort just the same.
GIVE THE MAN A BREAK, FOLKS!!!!.......2005-11-08
BANG UP JOB.......2005-05-31
Oh..........2004-07-16
This cd is a collection of late night dance songs compiled by the memebers of FC Kahuna. I'll agree that it's not for everyone, but for the most part I love it. From the opening Jolly Music track "K-Fun" to the awesome closing song by The Polyphonic Spree I don't think this cd dissapoints @ all...
