this track rules.
anybody know of anything similar in style (to the song/album)? in fact, any of bola's other albums anything like fyuti; the few i've heard seem quite different.

"Soup" is a better album than "Fyuti" and that's saying a lot, it's more coherant with less fillers.
I'm a pretty big Bola fan, the closest I've ever heard to his sound are the S.H.A.D.O albums on Fax which I'd go as far to say are better than Bola, they have that mix of beautiful old school melodic synth with fantastic intelligent future percussion.
Unfortunatly these albums are probably as rare as rocking horse poo poo nowadays.
Other alternatives are any of the H.I.A stuff (who is one half of S.H.A.D.O and Ochre.

I think "fyuti" is better. tighter in style.

Oh and Peter Benisch's stuff is sort of similar, especially "Waiting for Snow" which again is gonna be pretty hard to find, good luck :)

"Fyuti" has a slightly cleaner production with more advanced percussion but "Soup" has better tunes and is more of a "journey" IMO.

i agree, it gives more scope for imagination of weird and wonderful landscapes of baron wastelands and peaceful emptiness

Oh and let's not forget Jello (Bola's side project) which isn't bad either, slightly deeper and less melodic but still worth a listen..

Yeah the vocal tracks aren't too hot on Jello's album but there is one really nice piano piece, a couple of really funky numbers and a bouncy/pretty chill out track so I got my money's worth, it would have made a better e.p. than album though.

I wasn't too hot on "Soup" when I first heard it (though I loved "Forcassa 3"), I got it for Xmas though, six months later I was hooked, Bola is a definite Summer artist.
