"For 10 years, Cobby and fellow Fila Dave McSherry have been creating diverse, adventurous sounds. Spacious, chilled and always highly musical, their six albums for Pork Records put the tiny Hull, U.K., label on the map by surprising and delighting heads and hearts around the globe. And they did this without interviews, press photos or advertising -- no small feat in the pre-international 'net-work days." - Denise Benson 2001

Just what do those weird and wonderful track titles mean? 'Motown Coppers' is souped-up Shaft and the album also features 'Spill the Beans' - a Jockey Slut single of the month with a Steve Edwards vocal. A sample of Oumou Sangare's Sabu is featured on 'Mother Nature's Spies', and signature Fila Brazillia guitar-electronica-melting goes on 'DNA', with Latinised trumpeting swaying in out and about on 'It's A Knockout'. Listen. You will hear 'Monk's Utterance'.
Motown Coppers is from the Fila Brazillia album Jump Leads
