Album Notes BRAZILIFICATION is a collection of remixes. All lovers of great music--dance or otherwise--should be well acquainted with Fila Brazillia's incredible catalog of leftfield dance albums. Yet that's merely half of the Fila saga. Steve Cobby and Dave McSherry are also ace remixologists. The double-disc BRAZILIFICATION collects the cream of the Fila remixes that have graced elusive singles over the years. Trainspotters can finally relax and rejoice. BRAZILIFICATION's lineup reveals an all-star affair: Radiohead, U.N.K.L.E., Simple Minds, The Orb, Moloko, DJ Food, Black Uhuru, and Freakpower (otherwise known as Fatboy Slim) are among the lucky recipients of fabulous, Fila-style makeovers. When a distinctive vocal performance is at the heart of a track (Radiohead, Lamb, Phosphorus, Moloko), the boys from Brazillia tailor their dub-deep groove treatment to tastefully accentuate. The instrumental material allows Fila that much more elbow room to indulge in jazz acrobatics, synth shenanigans, and bouncy beat-freakery. In either mode, the remixes bring out the best in both Fila Brazillia and the musicians. Packing more than two hours of superlative groovemusic, BRAZILIFICATION is as fine a portable dance party as you're ever likely to find.
Editorial Reviews ...It's nice to hear them working off other people's ideas. Lamb, Moloko, and UNKLE tracks are keepers, but the exquisite mix of Radiohead's 'Climbing Up the Walls' is the mix-tape essential... Spin (09/01/2000)
5 out of 5 - ...Remarkably consistent for a group so prolific....Everything here shines in its own sweet way....[it's] one hell of a collection... Alternative Press (07/01/2000)
