Bola these days

^ Wow what was I saying there? Clearly I had no idea how good Exai was gonna be.

Anyway, Bola has just posted on his FB that the release probably won't happen in 2013, but it sounds like there's definitely something in the works and that it will be finished & released relatively soon!

Good news! I only just got his 'One' EP and every track is rock solid: this has to be one of the best EPs released in 1995!

we'll be lucky if we see it in 2014 even at this rate. still hoping.

wat de hell

Going to have to get Gnayse again probably shouldn't have sold that one but it just never hit me like Soup... which has really held up well. It almost seems better to me now then when it was released. Always stoked when my ipod hits it on random.

JUMPED UP IN THE AIR at the opportunity to snag a mint remastered version of soup for 13 bucks. THANKS DISCOGS WANTLIST EMAILS

which version of the vinyl sounds better? such a classic.

Well, good to know it's on its way at least

Soup is the shiz.

Kroungrine was my first listen, in the dead of 2007's winter. I'll never forget that. Diamortem is an epic track. dude is a master at subtle IDM rhythms, I wouldn't be surprised if Ae learnt a bit about how to work that stuff in their own tracks (for Diamortem cf. submerged rhythms in Pro Radii) from him given their co-operation early in Ae's life.

Dang this really wuda topped off 2013. Alas, maybe it will make 2014 an even better year!

Well he did say

It was my intention to get the release out before the end of 2013, however unfortunately I find myself easily distracted in my old age So it may be a lttle into 2014

so I'm optimistic. Sounds like it's almost finished to me.

What about Fyuti, guys? That one has some killer tracks too! Might be my favorite, even though it's more a collection of tracks than a structured album like Gnayse or Soup.

Kroungrine is good but lacks a bit of soul compared to the older albums imo. Might be due to the crystal-clear production, maybe just personal preference.

Fyuti is great too but Soup is my favourite because of Forcasa 2

The track Vespers from the otherwise not-THAT-great Mauver EP is fantastic as well

yeah, Vespers is the only good track on Mauver imo but it's so good. one of my favourite Bolas.

I was just listening to Kroungrine on Monday driving to work and it sounded better than ever. I also just started liking the Jello album this past year. When it came out, I thought it wasn't quite my thing and only put it on a couple times. But now it's like a whole new album. I think everyone worldwide is really starting to feel the absence of new Bola material by now, so fingers crossed for 2014. Unless he wants to go with the whole BOC eight years off now after he saw how well it worked for them.

The Jello album is really underrated. It's as good as his Bola stuff.

Still my favourite Bola track.

Glink was an important track for me early on as it served as a nice transition from shoegaze to electronic music. But now when I listen to Soup - Forcasa 3 & Whoblo steal the show for me.

I wish O'Verb didn't have vocals though. The melody is super lush, but the lyrics are a tad too girlish for me. I can still appreciate it as an experiment I guess.

The first three tracks of Fyuti are my fav Bola ever.
