Here it is. One of the best unknown electronic musicians - Darrell Fitton aka BOLA (Manchester,England). Why one of the best ? Simply because to make a good electronic music it takes much more than a music maker installed on your PC. Patchwork (Spirit Zone), Rechenzentrum, Sensorama - these great German electronic groups have simply their own unique style that conveys extremely well made and intelligent electro music. BOLA (though not from German school of electronica like the previous mentioned groups) is an excellent musician of his own genre. His albums convey this great futuristic sound but also a sound that is bathed from the beginning to the end with his own uniqe samples and mastered to the point of being almost (like German "Patchwork" or "Amon Tobin") sterile. BOLA presents sound escapades that often touch a sombre and dark ambient regions but almost always with a beat in the background. There is something more to it. BOLA always tries to instill his music with certain melody that makes each tune also unique so that the listener does not get the repetitive same tune all over the album. Even if the tune spreads in 3 pieces, each will have its own unique melody to it. So how does it sound then ? Imagine yourself left in a proverbial alien spaceship lab, on Mars in 2100 or in a medieval castle alchemy dungeons for tourists and you will get more or less the gist of it. Excellent compositions, well mastered sound, unique style - fully recommended for each IDM electronica fan.
