Heard some Bola for the first time. Played through aquilla, fyuti, mauver, pae paoe, shapes, soup on my ipod today as I was working. It is a little bit stale. Its all space style strings and devoid of texture. Maybe with repeated listens the intricacies will reveal themselves if they exhist. The standout track of the bunch was Pae Paoe with the nice strings and percussion, but was very very Faithless sounding. (I think its Faithless, Im referring to the group that does the song with the guy speech-rapping "I can't get no sleep") Poor Bola. |

Aquilla is really good. I forgot about it. The track, I mean. Not the whole release. The rest of the songs on Aquilla were forgettable. |

Words can't describe the beauty of Bola. It should only take 2-3 listens to reveal its brilliance to you. This artist deserves so much more than he gets. |

Maybe just start with one proper album, rather than a mix? I think the flow of the tracks has a lot to do with how the music presents itself to you. Just a thought! :) |

Well I've listened to Aquilla twice now. Triangle Cake and Curbstard are pretty boring. I'm feeling the bassline and keys in Curbstard but its just to submerged in sloshy effects for me to get into it. |

I listed the Bola albums I listened to today. And I listened to each one from start to finish in the proper track order. |
||||||||

|
|
Oh, right. Sorry. Maybe Bola just isn't for you then. Hopefully someone else here can back me up with praise for Bola... :) |

The track Aquilla is extremely good though. Like I give it a 9.6. So I'm not totally hating on him. |

Thanks for listening. Those tracks were done about a year ago, then I put em online when I got the website working. |

I have Bola 'Soup' and an album by him under Jello alias (Voile). Some of tracks on Soup are nice, W.I.K. is my favourite of them. Glink and Whoblo are also nice. But general impression i've got from listening to that aalbum is that Bola doesn't care about making some original sounds, his sounds are like more-less raw synth sounds, or MIDI. And music resembles Jean-Michelle Jarre. It's a 1998 album, in the ends. I heard one more track by him sometimes, 'Strange and Beautiful', it seemed better. |
||||||||

|
|
..or not 'Strange and Beautiful', maybe it was Veronex Cypher from Fyuti. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
NO! Soup is VERY original! A masterpiece! Grrrr.... :-/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sorry.. i wanna get more Bola, especially Pae Paoe or the album with that track, because earlier in this board i saw a lot of people said it is the best by Bola) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think bola has some of the most original and unique sounds out of anybody in this scene. i think his stuff sounds so full and lush. who's sounds do you like? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hm. i don't know, what to say.. his sound on 'Soup' seems not original. Melodies, harmony, rhythm - are all good, 5/5, but sounds are like default synths settings... except some sounds in W.I.K. anyway, who i am to judge? he plays what he wants, professionally. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
eh? soup is mostly analog anyway.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, ok, i'm shutting up.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no please don't ever shut up. :) not what this place is about... so what synths do you recognise then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
trademarks? i don't know.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

i just started to get into bola, i have soup and fyuti, but i am awaiting gnayse, and all i can say about it is, its good. soup for me is a little better than fyuti, but ive only listened to fyuti a handful of times. soup is SOOOOOOOOO good it hurts, if i was going to suggest an album to stick with, it would be that one, it grows on you like a good cancer, its a classic album. |

The music is even prettier if you ask me. |

listening to his music while making love to him must be quite an experience then. |
