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). 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. 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.
This double CD (& 3 LP) is available at kudos records and cdnow.
