This is a stone cold classic, a masterpiece, a record of eclecticism and organic warmth built on a foundation of jazz funk grooves straight out of the seventies. Power Clown is not for the small minded, this is mature stuff - a subtle fusion of breaks, harps, guitars and funk, it is intricate, soul-grabbing and downright groovy. " A 1998 classic of downtempo magic!" Review: iTunes (2006): The eclecticism and organic warmth of Fila Brazillia's electronica continue to amaze on Power Clown, one of their finest efforts to date. Laid-back jazz-funk grooves straight out of the '70s are the foundation of the record, but hints of Stevie Wonder-esque soul, hip-hop, bossa nova, ambient, spacey techno, house, minimalist electro, big-beat and trip-hop all pop up here and there, as do touches of ethnic percussion, acoustic guitar, saxophone solos, new age-y synth flourishes, and the occasional odd vocal sample or sound effect. What really pushes Power Clown over the top, though, is that the group maintains their focus throughout, never meandering and changing things up often enough to keep the grooves from becoming repetitive. One of the finest and most over-looked electronic-dance releases of 1998.
