As we move into an age of blogs-turned-record-labels, the NY-based blog Awesome Tapes from Africa is certainly setting a great example. Their second release, Bola 's Volume 7 , is out this month, and it's a vibrant, living testament to Ghanaian roots music in a digital age. Bola is a young traditional kologo player from a rural, pastoral background. The kologo is a little-known two-stringed instrument with a heavy bass sound from the Frafra of Ghana and Burkina Faso that Bola learned growing up [...]
★★★☆☆ An ambient album that's essentially a dreamy essay about how to control a loop in the middle of the pleasure-pain theory, you can take Alex Under as a sedative or someone to whiten your knuckles by. Ten- and 11-minute passages from the Spaniard mean there's a lot of time for thoughts to enter your head. If you turn it on and leave it humming in the background, that's fine — therapeutic washing machines and faraway steam trains are comparable in sound if your mind is set to counting sheep by slow stewing house. If you're [...]
Awesome Tapes From Africa started as a great blog and is now operating as a great record label. I found it a year or two ago and it's a testament to how great the Internet can be - a guy finding and uploading African music I would never, ever be exposed to without his unique dedication. This track is a real gem, one of the happiest songs you'll hear all month. Bola is a singer and instrumentalist from Bolgatanga, Ghana and he's got serious style; mixing traditional West African instruments (the kologo) with pianos and percussion reminiscent of styles [...]
Em entrevista concedida à Folha , Albert Hammond Jr. , guitarrista do Strokes , canta a bola para uma possível vinda dos novaiorquinos ao Brasil, ainda no fim deste ano. "Não tenho certeza. Houve conversas. Você provavelmente vai saber antes de mim. Então, vai aparecer no site e eu vou falar: 'ah, ok'. Provavelmente, neste verão ou algo assim, até antes.", diz Hammond . O guitarrista ainda ouve Vaccines durante a entrevista, banda que ainda não conhecia ("Boa sorte para eles em serem chamados os novos Strokes. Isso [...]

Just the one from the charity shop today. A bit of advert pop music from Aqualung that has aged rather well, remixed by Bola and Steve Osborne. Aqualung is Mattew Hales (b. 17 January 1972). He is an English singer and songwriter best known in the UK for his song "Strange And Beautiful", which was featured on a television advertisement for the new Volkswagen Beetle during the summer of 2002 and went on to become a Top 10 hit in the UK singles chart later that year. In the United States, apparently Aqualung is also [...]
Bola is Darrell Fitton. An IDM originator who has always ploughed his own highly original furrow on out there Skam Records. Despite the po-faced reputation of IDM in general and Skam in particular, a number of Fitton's album and EP titles are groansome homophone plays on the word "Bola": "Bola" and "KS" become "bollocks" "Bola" and "Soup" become "bowl o' soup" "Bola" and "Mauver" become "bowl 'em over" "Bola" and "Fyuti" become "bowl of yew tea" (though for ages I thought it was "footiball") "Bola" and "Gnayse" [...]
Some awkward electronic music from Bola, a lesser-known but influential IDM producer. This is music that is by turns medolic and cinematic, and dissonant and edgy (alternatively, sometimes a Shakespeare sonnet and sometimes Irvine Welsh). Bola is Darrel Fitton. Darrell Fitton is from Manchester, England. Most of his work is recorded under recording monikers Bola and Jello, released primarily on Skam Records. Fitton has also contributed to electronic acts D-Breeze, Brahma and Ooblo, and Gescom (an odd project, apparently started by Autechre but involving an amorphous cast). There are rumours that [...]
Texture...pacing...depth...a spacey tone - many of the qualities LMYE appreciates most are on rich display in Bola . His first album, Soup , also wheels out an endearing pun to offset the risk of this fairly complex, inward-looking music completely disappearing up itself. Listen to the Detroit echo drums, 21st century harp & sheened shudder of Pendulus ( zShare ). Wiki / Discogs .
clarion alley series.2007 a number of my friends in the bay area are having babies as of late. this decision to breed and scatter effected my east coast friends about 5 years back. maybe the west coast is 5 years ahead, or too late. i guess it depends on how you look at it. well, two of these babies have the fortune? of listening to such bands as nirvana, radiohead and the cure in baby format, which i guess along with polka, classical and rock are formats of music. i wonder [...]

"TOP TEN ALBUM 2007″ by Ghemison
#10 - Subsonica - L'Eclissi ( EMI ) i Subsonica per me sono ancora quelli dello spettacolare esordio omonimo e di metà "Microchip Emozionale" e basta. Ma questo ultimo lavoro mi ha sorpreso perché tra chitarroni di tendenza, qualche faciloneria nei testi ed elettronica cool si perde spesso in apocrifi New Order ed in due pezzi dei bei vecchi tempi andati ("Piombo" e "Alibi"). L'ultima volta che ci innamoriamo? "L'ECLISSI" review on INDIE FOR BUNNIES [...]

Bola - Kroungrine
(No Ratings Yet) Loading ... Dietro il moniker Bola si nasconde Darrell Fitton, musicista inglese attivo quasi da una decina di anni ma sconosciuto pressoché completamente al grande pubblico. Pure io devo tristemente ammettere il mio stupore quando mi son trovato tra le mani questo suo quinto ed ultimo album, Kroungrine, e non solo perché questo è davvero tremendamente affascinante ma soprattutto perché prima non avevo mai sentito nominare Bola. Di fronte ad [...]

Back in the saddle
Bola - Ballast Bola is the production alias of Mancunian electronic musician, Darrell Fitton. I first heard his work when I lived in Manchester - being there in the late 90s meant hearing a lot of artists making music in a particular electronic scene, including Autechre, Plaid and Boards of Canada. I immediately fell in love with Bola's deep-water sonics and electro-ambient trickery, thanks in no small part to his Soup album, released in 1998 by Manchester-based SKAM (home to Gescom, Jega, the old-school BOC releases, etc.). This track, Ballast was originally released in 1999 (or was it 2000?...
