 Primo electro-art side by side with primo filler September 22, 2007
OneLove (so fla)
3 1/2
Bola have always been a cut above your typical electronic outfit, belonging to that rare category of techno musicians who elevate their craft past the stereotypical qualities which often plague the genre, turning glitch effects into haunting, resonant meditations on pace. Although not nearly as liberating as some of our more aggressive IDM artists, the signature sound and detailed textures pervading this man's work ensures his place amongst the top of organic electronica. Gnayse may lack the solidity of some other releases, but even in the underdeveloped segue tracks are we able to hear an integrity of sound bridging together to form an enriching audio whole. Bola's self-contained style may sound too methodical for romantic ears, but give the album a complete open-minded run through and you'll be hard pressed to find more simultaneously intelligent, catchy, and involving computer music - there are slightly more solid album's to begin with though.

Bola's latest album finds him up to the same old tricks. That is, beautiful ambient textures, intricately produced sonic worlds full of detailed electronic sounds, mournful melodies, and some very complex beats. Eluus, the opening track, is the perfect synthesis of each of these elements. Gnayse was definitely a standout album for 2004. There is a fair amount of rather sterile material released under the IDM label, but thankfully Bola retains the organic, human element amidst his array of synthesizers. His jazz influences are particularly apparent on Gnayse, although not in such obvious ways as swing rhythms. Stylistically, this album isn't much of a departure from Fyutti. It feels like a continuation.
The bottom line is, this is a great album that really does the IDM thing right. So many albums of this style have the tendency to leave the listener with a cold, unemotional feeling. It's refreshing to listen something full of life. Synthetic music with musical expression - what a concept.

Although a late commer in 2004, this is by far my favorite record of the year. It picks up on Fyuti and gets much darker and more textured. True to the roots of 'IDM' this is a chill-out album in the traditional form (i.e. old Speedy J, Plastikman/F.U.S.E, Ae, Polygon Window.)
You will not be dissapointed by this release. Worth buying rather than downloading for the amazing album art, let alone the fact that even a 320kbps dual stereo cbr doesn't fully capture the album. (and that is nearly impossible to find anyway.)
p.s.
Madvilliany is the best hip-hop album of the year.
