(Clicka qua per la versione Italiana)
Bent are an English electronic-dance duo (Simon Mills and Nail Tolliday)
that belong to the revisionist generation of
Air.
Programmed To Love (Ministry, 2000) was in fact the best post-modernist
essay that Air never wrote.
Simple cute ditties with female vocals (Private Road, A Ribbon for My Hair, Nana Mouskouri's I Love My Man) captured the imagination and
the dancefloor,
while Swollen, the extended Always and Exercise 1
betrayed their futurist agenda,
and I Remember Johnny winked at the
Groove Armada.
The Everlasting Blink (Guidance, 2003) flirts more explicitly and less
metaphorically with campy music of the past (Beautiful Otherness) and
the result is less fresh and even less evocative.
