A chillout / downtempo classic.......2006-12-05

This CD may have been released back in 1995, but the music in it is truly timeless: A combination of funky and jazzy instrumental downtempo songs featuring acoustic drums, synth strings, vibes, electric pianos, funky rhythm guitars and occasional vocals.
The sounds on this CD may not be groundbreaking, electronically speaking, but the music is far from dated. More than 10 Years later, there are a lot of artists creating the same exact type of music featured on this CD. Good music never goes out of style!
Sure, there has been a lot of quality material released by other artists after this album was released, but that doesn't diminish the originality and quality of the music on this album.

If you like downtempo / chillout music, this CD will be a worthy addition to your collection!, not only you won't be dissapointed, you will probably purchase other CDs from Fila Brazillia's catalog.

A Suprisingly Good Find!.......2004-12-09

I first stumbled on to Fila Brazilia on a 'Groove Salad' stream playing Phosphorus' "Asthma (Fila Brazillia Mix)" from their excellent "Brazilification - Remixes 95-99" album (which covers remixes for artists like Radiohead, the Irresistable Force and David Byrne).
They are definitly a rare and under-rated band in my opinon. They are incredibly eclectic in their influence and tastes as the "Anotherlatenight" (a compilation chillout album) shows. What impresses me is that they are able to make such quirky yet smooth, atmospheric music without sounding contrived. It's electronic but yet strangely touching, and natural.
They are one of the few groups that's able to cut into something like 'downtempo' and make a very distinct signature in their music -- without covering old ground. I can definitely tell their tracks apart. These definitely hold up well to repeated listening, and they have a very pleasant mellow vibe to their music without swaying too far in any direction but their own.
Oh, and my the way the rant at the end of "6 Ft Wasp" (White Anglo Saxon Protestant?) was the brilliant and venerable Bill Hicks, whom this album was dedicated to. Sellout Dennis Miller couldn't have touched him with a 10ft GOPole. ;)

What is that? Hurry catch that artist!.......2003-09-28

I was listening to a random Rhapsody stream. Then, like a handful of artists I came to know and immediately love, this one got my attention. "Wow" was what came to mind, as the flat line beat of "Slacker" split high energy and downtempo right down the middle. I've not heard the entire album, but rest assured, it will be added to my collection. It's mood music...therapeutic. Not dancefloor material, but certainly a selection for unwinding after a night of being on one.

Major Disappointment.......2001-04-25

I had such high hopes for this cd, I can honestly say that it was the most disappointing music purchase I have made all year. Perhaps I am just too big on Theivery Corporation but I found little to cheer about in this album.

It is just too loopy to keep you interested and it sounds dated, I guess because 1995 is pretty dated as far as electronica goes. Regardless, spend your money on TC's mirror conspiracy if you don't already own it, you wont' be disappointed.

Excellent!.......2001-04-06

As always, the Fila boys deliver the goods!

This is an excellent cd, in the same style of any ESL or Thievery Corporation release. Kind of like Jazzanova meets Bobby Hughes meets Tosca meets Mo'Horizons meets Suba meets Bebel Gilberto meets Terranova meets the entire crew of the Ninja Tune label...

Well, you get the general vibe. It's laid back, down-tempo and smooth. Perfect for a smooth transition from evening into night...as you watch the sun set into the ocean as you sip your most cherished adult beverage...

Don't hesitate to get this one...and as a general rule of thumb, don't hesitate to get ANY Fila cd.

An awesome take on electronic music.......2003-02-04

1 of the essential Down-tempo beat albums. Not essential just for being a good introduction to down-tempo music but rather that Fila have a feel few down-tempo or trip hop acts ever reguard. Fila seem to have fun doing what they do best, making funky and friendly rythems with an amazing amount of beats that at times sound genuinely live and charicteristic of jazz and funk. Often soothing and ambiant, teaming with songs that make a georgeous dreamscape Fila are a rare gem for electronic music yet sound very organic at times. This album is one of thier finest.

Every following Fila album shows just how much this duo has to give(especially the ever amazing PowerClown). Fila offer a kind of emotion that goes very easily digested at times so much fun and at times beat driven enough to make you step back and "wow"
as you notice you have the urge to dance like a freak!

Fila Brazillia rock its as simple as that. Please see also "Power Clown" for a whole other look at this amazing duo.
