.every [Fila Brazillia] release is full of twists and turns that sound fresh and new and in a way unheard before. 'Pheobus' is another masterpiece...[Review ... Read More »of 'The Life and Times of Phoebus Brumal ' on Amazon, 2004]Another stone-cold classic of downtempo magic from the Hull mystery [Fila Brazillia]. But did you expect anything less? As intricate, funky, heart-warming, soul-grabbing and downright groovy as anything [Fila Brazillia] so far, there's a subtle assuredness and fizzing sleight-of-hand at play here.[Review of 'Power Clown' in Mixmag, 1998]What really pushes Power Clown over the top, though, is that [Fila Brazillia] maintain their focus throughout, never meandering and changing things up often enough to keep the grooves from becoming repetitive. One of the finest and most over-looked electronic-dance releases of 1998.[Review of 'Power Clown' on iTunes, 2006]Considered a pre-cursor to the downbeat and trip hop movement, Fila Brazillia have explored the relationship between organic instrumentation and electronic sensibility throughout the 90's arriving logically at Jump Leads. As pioneers of a post-punk northern England musicality, their journey has been defined simply by their musical insight rather than genre specification.[Review of 'Jump Leads' on Urban Alternative Music, 2002]
..this album is like warm sweet coffee accompanied by a cinnamon Danish. It makes you feel nice in your tummy![Review of 'A Touch Of Cloth' on Amazon, 2002]What makes Fila stand out is their knowledge of all kinds of music styles and their ability to weave it all into a cohesive whole. Once again, Fila rise to the challenge of making new and original music with a recording packed with so many ideas and influences that it manages to stay fresh and lively from start to finish.[Review of 'A Touch Of Cloth' on Amazon, 2001] « Read Less
