Old Codes New Chaos [CD]

Fila Brazillia - Old Codes New Chaos [CD]

Striking the sweet spot between sampledelic downtempo and Earth-rooted deep house, Fila Brazillia's Old Codes New Chaos is a maverick patchwork of grooves and soundscapes. Crafted in North East England in the vibrant period before chill-out was co-opted by advertising, Steve Cobby and Dave McSherry's sharp-eared funk formula remains a cult classic suite of exquisite productions spanning deep house, broken beat and ambient shot through with wry humor. Last physically released in limited quantities in 2002, Forever Records are revisiting this 1994 gem with an extensive reissue led by a triple vinyl pressing, newly mastered from the original mixdowns. Also available as a limited edition, 4LP edition (FRVR 002LTD-LP) including bonus tracks plus an exclusive print of Catherine Brennand's watercolor painting that graces the front of the album. All editions also feature liner notes by veteran music journalist John McCready. CD/3LP 01. Old Codes 02. Mermaids 03. Whose Money 04. Brazilification 05. Serratia Marcescens 06. The Sheriff 07.
