Bola Poll

The Music Discussion forum has replaced the old Lyrics and Samples forum and the Live Scene and Music Reviews forum. This forum is used to discuss anything relating to Music including Orbital topics, the live scene including Orbital gigs past, present and future. This section is an ideal place to post your live gigs reviews and album / single reviews. This forum can also be used to discuss Orbital lyrics and samples. The website will never disclose or confirm samples for legal reasons - so this is the next best thing.

Bola Poll

I was listening to gynase the other day and I wasn't that impressed, quite boring I thought - and I didn't think that much of Fyuti either. A bit disappointing having loved 'Soup' and the awesome Shapes. Just wondered what you all think...

Yup, spot on Dan... 'Soup' is by far his best work!

Yep, I must agree - Shapes and Soup are definitely his best works IMO. I don't think all that much of Fyuti, but I've been giving Gnayse a bit more of my time recently and it's grown on me quite a bit, so I now like it more than I thought!

Nothing he does will ever beat Forcasa 3 though.... :)
is this a piece of your brain?

i cant say i dislike "Gnayse" but it really doesnt inspire me to keep playing it. All the others i like. I think his output may slow down even more now he has a young un to look after :)

Until I read Rach's post above, it had never occured to me that he did this with his album titles:

Bola soup, Bola Gnayse (ha ha!) I get them - at last.
Yeah, yeah I know I'm blonde and all :P

But I still don't get Bola forcassa 3 and Bola Fyuti or am I just being even dumber...?

oh my gosh, Jane, I didnt even get the gnayse one till you said that!! :oops: :lol:

Dont think Forcasa 3 or Fyuti has any meaning, unless I am being really thick, but I will repeat them to myself for the rest of the day just incase anything comes up...

Think that Fyuti might have something to do with football? :P

Best ones have to be "Bola - KS" (b*ll*cks) and "Bola - Mauver" (bowl 'em over) :lol:

(Forcasa might have something to do with a combination of swear words, but that's just me wasting time on a Monday afternoon)! :P

I thought fyuti was a play on the word fruit, ie bowl of fruit :)

Isn't it only the album titles that have the play on words and that forcassa 3 is just a track name with nothing else meant by it?

[with apologies for being a right "anorak" now...]

I'm afraid I sent Cheese barking up the wrong tree with the Fyuti explanation. I was convinced that I'd read somewhere the meaning was "bowl of fruit", but on further investigation on a dedicated Bola/Jello fanpage the explanation is indeed "Footie-baller", so seems Nick was correct! :)

(sorry Cheesy Peas) :oops:
