Over 295,000 plays on MP3.com! ISOL8 was created in 1991 in Sheffield, England, by Ghanaian born British Electronica innovator Francis J.D. Hyland. The former keyboard player for 80's pop/rock band "The Scarey Men" and "The Southern States Shakers" has been composing Electronica since 1982! The first track written under the alias "ISOL8" was "Walking through your jungle" which to this date exists only on 1/2 inch tape in storage somewhere in England.
In 1994, ISOL8 recorded his first album "Welcome to the future" in Key West Forida. Five other albums have been recorded since.
The future of Electronica has begun! Believe the hype!" Please check out my book at http://www.lulu.com/content/75424 Thank you :-)
Band/artist history
Artist History
I was born and raised in Kumasi, Ghana, by British parents: a professor of Architecture father and piano/music teacher mother. I began learning the piano at age 4, continuing with lessons until I was 12. We moved when I was 10 years old, to the North East of England (Durham) where I lived for 13 years. In 1991, after 5 unfulfilled years of playing in bands, I began work on a solo Electronica project in Sheffield, UK, and created Johnny D. Two tracks from an album recorded in Key West, Florida in 1994,are sampled on this site. My latest collection of tracks was produced on a Korg Trinity between 11/99 and 3/01. It is ready to be heard! I have recently completed my first work of literature http://www.lulu.com/content/75424
I look forward to hearing from you soon!

Great song in a Trip Hop style! It really describes your style Isol8. I found you again, on early 2000 I knew your music here but I didn´t know about you anymore. I listen to your songs since that time! this track is new for me. Thanks!!!!!
