Bent

Real Name:Simon Mills & Nail Tolliday
Profile:Setting up their own label, Sport Recordings, the duo released three EPs (one as Johnny Flash And The Flames) before a highly-praised debut, "Programmed To Love". They formed Bent in Nottingham in 1997 after becoming disillusioned with the state of dance music at the time. Tolliday had previously been part of a famous Midlands-based sound system, DIY. Their ethereal, ambient, sample-heavy sound has been likened to Air, Moby and even Badly Drawn Boy. They are said to have made their early recordings with nothing more than a sampler and 2000 second-hand records that they bought for £50. Perhaps an illustration of Bent's irreverent and genre-defying approach is their use of vocal snippets sampled from Nana Mouskouri on two of their recordings, "I Love My Man" and "Always In My Heart". Like many dance music producers (notably Fatboy Slim), they take pride in recontextualising somewhat overlooked material. The duo claim influences as diverse as Rolf Harris, Geoff Love, John Lennon, the Beach Boys to more clearly dance music-orientated ones such as Kid Loco and Aphex Twin.

If you are a fan of the "Lounge" , downbeat or experimental downbeat genre , bent is definately worth a listen.

High quality Synths mixed with voice samples from old records really brings out a style of music that is hard to find ... if not impossible to match. They have a sound simular to Air ...

This music grows on you , and i can definately say that its not something for the mainstream listener or the person that wants music to instantaniously grab him/her.

But once you notice the beauty of the music you will find yourself hunting down every Bent album that you can find.

I would suggest trying "music for BBQs " as a starting point ... it would give you a brief overview of the sound that Bent produces. (but this is in no way their definative album , its just got my fav track on it ;)

My favourite songs are swollen , Duke thing and always. To me these are Really superb tracks ... give it a listen.
