Album Review

Fila Brazillia's debut album established many of the band's ingredients: warped structures building to mild climaxes, a need to explore the absurd end of chill-out without relying on comical extremes, paranoid sample-based polemics working as unified LP concepts, and a host of dance psychotropics waiting in the fringes ready to take everything over the edge. Old Codes, New Chaos may sound restrained compared to the creditable but not always successful moments of band's later eccentricity, but there's also a clean and bracing straightforwardness to its awkward downtempo that was often lacking in the band's slow development. Along with much of its back catalog, Fila Brazillia reissued the 1994 album on its own label, Twentythree, in the middle of 2001, not soon after the release of the band's style-shattering Another Late Night mix effort.

Ahead of their time

It is amazing nobody wrote about this first album of Fila Brazilia. A British electronic duo that enriched our world with so much music and suddenly vanished. What happened there? It must be traumatic for their silence is so loud comparing to their loud music that was made so silently. This is a great starter, and then Maim That Tune of course... I dare say that what what made them so important is that they put so much music in their work! It's like Kraftwerk meets Stevie Wonder. As rich and original as that.

Returning to his native Hull from Manchester, Cobby met DJ/dabbler Dave Pork, and the two forged a creative alliance. Hooking up with McSherry...
