Product Description
From Amazon.com
While the international press seems to have covered every other electronica act but them, Fila Brazillia's Steve Cobby and Dave Pork have created some of the most lasting music in their hotly hyped genre. It's their playful indulgences, not to mention their smashing good taste, that make Fila so fine. The British duo maintain their majestic muse on their first-ever mix CD, Another Late Night, dropping aromatic funk, jazz, hip-hop, dub, and weird audio snippets in one of the best left-field releases of the year.
The record opens with John Barry's luscious "Persuader's Theme" before rolling through the Infesticons' rollicking old-school rap ("post my testicles on virtual e-mail"), Prince Alla's spacey dub crooning, Mr. Scruff's spooky '30s swing, the Beta Band's yawning stoner anthems, as well as tracks from a mangled cast that includes Marvin Gaye, Brian Eno, David Holmes, Nightmares on Wax, and Fila themselves on "Nature Boy." This is late-night, lost-attitude, can't-move music, a soundtrack for summertime bliss, going bonkers, or heading off to bed. --Ken Micallef

Pretty Good,
This review is from: V1 Another Late Night (Audio CD)
For the most part, I thought this was a good CD. I agree with whatisname in the review above that the track 3 rap is hideous, and there are occasionally goofy parts. The only necesary-skip-button-exertion track is that 3rd one, though. The Brian Eno track with Lebanese vocals is very cool, as well as the Persuaders theme and Mr. Scruff. It is a pretty interesting variety of tracks, really.

This review is from: V1 Another Late Night (Audio CD)
I usually love their (Fila's) work, but as mixers on this compilation, they sort of put me to sleep. Since, I tend to listen and focus into the music, this proved a little frustrating as I passed it off as background ambience. Maybe this what they were going for???

Vibrations Transmitted Through,
By fred udrah "udrah" (south california) - See all my reviews
This review is from: V1 Another Late Night (Audio CD)
Brillant array of sounds. While some listeners find the mood swings a bit jarring for the late night "designation"...I find the shifting pieces to be like a bedtime tonic...a comforting replay of the sounds one might experience during the day.Cobby & McSherry offer quiet lush meditations, spikey throttled guitar segments, metallic percussion, R+B chorus styles, jungle variations , improved elevator music, take on hard rap, and much much more. To quote the American Heritage Dictionary: "...Vibrations transmitted through an elastic material or a solid, liquid, or gas, with frequencies in the approximate range of 20 to 20,000 hertz, capable of being detected by human organs of hearing. .."
