=============================================================================
fila brazillia have been one of the most consistent and respected
underground 'dance' acts of the 90s. releasing six albums on the
pork recordings label, they ended the decade by forming their own
tritone label (recently changed to 'twentythree' due to legal
reasons) and putting out the album 'a touch of cloth'. this release
also saw them emerging from their self-inflicted hiding and into the
glossy pages of the music press with their first ever interviews and
photo shoots. they also hit the road on a uk tour and made an
appearance at the big chill's enchanted garden festival in august.
alongside their plethora of albums and single releases, fila have
also been responsible for some rather fine remixes, the best of
which are featured on this compilation. from the earliest remix
featured here, dj food's 'freedom', unreleased exclusives and long
deleted tracks to the recent chaser and robin jones mixes, all
contain the unique 'fila funk' sound. their services were often
requested due to the artists in question being fans of the band
rather than for a record company's profit interest. this was the
case with the remix of 'climbing up the walls' from radiohead's 'ok
computer' album which came about because of thom yorke's admiration
of fila. a version did appear on the commercially released single
(the b-side of 'karma police') although the one included here was
omitted. other rarities include a remix of moloko's 'lotus eaters'
that never saw the light of day and u.n.k.l.e's 'berry meditation'
which has also never been available before. many of fila's tracks
have been used on various tv programmes and the remix of black uhuru
included here was heavily featured in sky one's 'ibiza uncovered'
(recently repeated on channel 4).
"every track has been worked to perfection..they're all excellent.
highly recommended."
m8 - 3/1/00
"with a further six albums of their own, this just cements their
legacy."
club on - 3/1/00
"the best remixers are electronic alchemists who transmute leaden
grooves into golden wonders; on this evidence fila brazillia are
magic indeed. dance album of the month!"

the cd version of this album, which is also one of my favorites of
this year, was recently released by our friends of sweetbeats. the
3-lp vinyl features the full-length tracks and is unmixed. enjoy!
