Old Codes New Chaos

Old Codes New Chaos is the first album by the British group Fila Brazillia, released on Pork Recordings in 1994. The title comes from a line in the 1991 book Lila: An Inquiry into Morals by Robert Pirsig: "Rigel's interpretation of recent moral history is probably a pretty simple one: old codes vs. new chaos".

Critical reception

Music critic Dean Carlson explains on his review for AllMusic that "Old Codes, New Chaos may sound restrained compared to the creditable but not always successful moments of band's later eccentricity, but there's also a clean and bracing straightforwardness to its awkward downtempo that was often lacking in the band's slow development".[2]

gollark: Though I think systemd's kind of overcomplex and overintegrated.
gollark: The 1m30s thing is because people are silly potatoes and can't do unit files right.
gollark: Because it's stupid.
gollark: Also because rechargeable batteries cost a bit more than nonrechargeable ones, I think.
gollark: Mine can't even boot to UEFI blobs fast.
