This is a re-edition of the 2006 "Intercept!". This new version includes nine remixes from three tracks of this LP.
Bent are a duo from Nottingham consisting of Simon Mills and the tapered fingers of Neil Tolliday. And this is a Bent album sounds like it's been recorded by dead people or voices fed through a human vocoder by programmers who have managed to dismiss any needless emotion. This can be effective, occasionally, especially when the buoyant Lemon Jelly/Groove Armada artful background bombards your ears with plenty of pleasure. Right there you're listening to music beamed from an alternate dimension where sounds have moved just out of rack.
Shame that it is oddly humourless, like robots really have passed their fingers through the dictionary and handpicked the lyrics based on what their sentient free circuits are telling them. What's missing is the thinly disguised songs about anal sex that anchored the previous album.
Instead you're required to sit back in your comfy armchair and swallow the inoffensive glide through ‘Wendy Darling’ and ‘Waiting For You’ - both of which are homeopathic and deeply lulling. ‘As Seen From Space’ is a beguilingly apposite title while album opener ‘Excercise 7’ dispels any thought of a Bent backlash for at least three songs. Bent will play at the Big Chill and people reading The Guide will glance up for more than one song. They've gone and lost the flavour that once gave them the special taste.
It could be viewed as dispassionate, but when Bent arrived on the edge of the scene it was a welcome obtuse take on the beachside electronic wallpaper that was being led by the Zero 7 and their contemporaries. 2000's 'Programmed To Love' was an album to treasure and pimp to your friends. This one is a backward step from the seafront with too much over scrutiny in the studio.
