Bola never disappoints me. His new album (w. the Jello alias) is AWESOME. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know absolutely nothing about this artist Maybe I should check it out is it jazz / folk...? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what label is it on? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
check out for Bola and Jello samples. The 'Voile' album is on Peacefrog Records... SKAM has released a lot of Bola records... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know the SKAM releases, but didn't know about Jello. is this his first release under this name? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, except from a promo. that's what i know of.... feel free to inform me further. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Cool! I don't suppose Peacefrog records has a US distribution deal with some large faceless corporation... :) Time to start searching the importers. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Do you have either of the Peacefrog anniversary box sets Phob? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
nope! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
interseting . sounds to me a bit like a synergy of SAWII and Tangerine Dream... but I only listened to 3 or 4 samples |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Check it out. Nice minimal, deep house and techno and ambience courtesy of John Beltran and the Detroit Escalator Co. |
||||||||

im looking for all the bola i can get, but its hard, no stores/file sharing programs have any =\ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh i've got some detroit grand escalator co on vinyl but its melted |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cut the 'grand' I think its 303 something.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
You idiot! How did you manage that? I warped some records once by storing them by a radiator. Luckily they were crap rock 7"s. Detroit Grand Escalator Co. is unforgivable though. Did you see Ray Mears last night or are you not really a fan? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hah, I actually bought it like that on a vinyl hunting session for samples, it was in the 50p. But, I still listen to the rest and I really like it! As for Ray Mears, I would have, I noticed it was on, but I was revising. sociology exam tommorrow, last exam, so excited |

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||

jello voile (peacefrog) Trainspotters (you know who you are) already know that Jello is another alias for Darrel Fitton, the man behind Bola, and one of IDM's originators. Perhaps as a function of experience, Fitton's work often displays a sense of balance and maturity, rather than sounding like a showcase for the latest trends. It's difficult to discern whether Fitton conceived Voile as a coherent project, or if these tracks simply didn't fit with the Bola sound, but either way the skill and eclecticism on display points the way towards expanded possibilities for the IDM genre. While tracks like "Ephemex" and "Pi-Knipple" stick to the Bola template of carefully measured linear beats mixed with lush synth textures, other tracks spin off in a few different directions. "Vibe-a-Rolla," "Chamchimzee," and especially the deep and springy "Lungbone" display a definite funk sensibility, suggesting that even IDM anoraks can have fun. "Pequill" pairs a romantic solo piano piece with sparse electronics, creating a beautifully flowing composition that could easily serve as the basis for a full-length project. Bola began experimenting with vocals on the Mauver EP, and he takes things a step or two further here. "O'verb," with its female vocalist, comes close to being an actual song with verses and a chorus. Most interesting is "Shinoque," which features a deep male voice reciting freestyle poetry over an electronic approximation of coffee house jazz. It's refreshing to hear an IDM artist dabbling in a variety of styles within the same release. Too many albums in this genre, while certainly accomplished, tend towards same-sounding tracks that seem like variations on a single theme. The tracks on Voile are thoughtfully composed, each with its own mood and identity. Let's hope many more artists follow this lead and take IDM in some exciting new directions. |

You can def. hear it's Darrel Fitton... and that's a good thing. Releasedate: July 8th |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahaaa, july 8th, i knew i couldnt have missed the release date! could you post a link from where you got that review? it would be appreciated. thanks! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the link IS there, man..... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yea this is a great album, love it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, sorry about that. i can never tell if there's a link or not. maybe when someone posts a link, it should be in a different color or something, to indicate that there's a link! just a suggestion... ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
is IS in a different color... in red. don't you see it? browser? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Looks ok to me, maybe it is a stylesheet problem in your browser. You could always turn underlining back on for links. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really? sorry abou that, but actually, im color blind.... must be a dark red, because i cant tell the difference at all... :( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
cortex---ill tell you when ever there is a link ok ? yeah colorblindness is a wild thing or so ive heard.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ok, i see.... we might add the underline tag to links as well in xltronic... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hehe, youre too kind! it's not so weird/wild as so many people think, i just cant differenciate some colors... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
If this bugs you, most browsers allow you to use a custom style sheet that can restore the underlining to the links on the forum. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ack! Maybe just leave the property undefined so the user can toggle it with the browser. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I am a design guy - would never do that... :-D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
even simpler than that: maybe just change the color for a flashy yellow or something, colorblind people will see the difference between black and yellow, i guarantee it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, but normal people don't see a yellow link on this bright background... :-/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah, i guess you're right... im sure any bright color will do, like a bright blue or something. but hey, dont change anything just for me! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I emailed forcedexposure.com and they will be stocking the album for the USA folks... |
