Mess

Great thank you A+

This album is certainly a mixed bag. There r classic down tempo Fila tracks here that will slide nicely into the background and the idea of starting with a drum and bass track and ending with the same track in downtempo mode is nice.If u listen carefully u will probably skip a few & like someone said about a good album waiting to get out, maybe some of the weaker tracks could have been axed.However, brace yourself for Howard Dan Ryan. This is a great track and I can't think of any other track by another artist that really sounds like it, tis brilliant. In fact it is now one of my favourite tracks, I love the driving beat and sounds that somehow fit together even tho they shouldn't. It'll make you want to jump around and do weird head movements to the beat.

I'm truly flabbergasted that this stone-cold heavyweight champ of an album has been called 'bland'. 'Mess' rolls like nobody's business!!! The previous reviewer was probably stuck in that whole 'Chillout' bubble that Fila Brazillia have somehow become tagged with. The mistake (i think) the previous reviewer has made, is to try and reference Fila with a slew of other Chillout producers . They are so much more than Chillout and almost impossible Pidgeon hole. How do you transform a largely acoustic Guitar track (i cant remember the title, but i think it's track 1) into an old school style Drum'n'Bass killer at the end of the album?? I don't know many, if any, producers who'd be able to pull off such a feat with such deft aplomb.Also, in between the first and last tracks there's more than enough variety of genre, style, and tempo to keep anybody with a truly eclectic taste in music happy.So far from bland. Buy it and listen.
