Album Notes
Fila Brazillia has grown symbiotically alongside its label, Hull, England's revered Pork Recordings. In many minds, the two concerns are inextricable. Yet 1999's A TOUCH OF CLOTH, Steve Cobby and Dave McSherry's seventh Fila Brazillia album, sees the unthinkable; the pair part with Pork to launch their own Twentythree/Tritone imprint. Fila fiends need not fear. The catalog tag may have changed, but the music born of the creative partnership between Cobby and McSherry remains unique and, despite the efforts of imitators and admirers, untouchable.
On paper, the Fila formula appears simple enough: rugged grooves pitched perfectly between the fluid economics of techno and house and the fussier "muso" excess of fusion jazz. Easier said than done; it's a recipe for disaster in less adept hands. Fila's ebullient beats scour the Seven Seas for the world's brightest, bounciest rhythms. Cobby maintains the languid synth lines, sparkling funk-guitar accents, and jazzy Rhodes noodlings, dipping into psychedelic and sampladelic showmanship for splashes of vivid color. McSherry steers Fila's butt-bumping low-end with supreme confidence. Their interplay is hand-in-glove throughout--from wide-grinned grooves ("The Bugs Will Bite," "Pigsblood and Chalk") through mysterious avant-funk meanderings ("Airlock Holmes," "XII") and into the sun-dappled electronic jazz of "Snakeskin Bib" and "Spores."
