An simply stunning album.
The two English DJs who make up the duo Bent, after years spent in the trenches of house music, dedicate themselves to their debut work.
They make an album. And what an album.
You'll find simply everything, each track is a new discovery, something unexpected and magnificent.
Just listen to "Swollen" and "I Love My Man" to understand what artistic heights two guys and a computer can achieve, and so much poetry.
With this album, Bent lays the foundation for a new sound that seeks, digs, creates, discards, quotes, invents, drawing inspiration from the sounds that surround them. Sounds strictly electronic.
Undoubtedly an essential album, for its variety of sounds, attention to track construction, and for those delightful episodes that are the two aforementioned pieces.
Tracklist Lyrics Samples and Videos
02 Private Road (05:29)
My heart for now is a private road
No thoroughfare, no heavy load
No slow traffic, no graphic details,
Cold or collisions
No more stories to make me ache
I'll always love you venus
Still you are mine
Why'd you have to take so much time
In calling me
Just want to be easy like
Sunday morning
Snow falls in silence and covers the green
Still you can see where the birds have been
Hungry but alive and free, waiting
Waiting
04 I Love My Man (05:47)
I love my man
When he's good or mean
I love my man
When he's good or mean
I love my man
When he's good or mean
I love my man
With each new kiss, more and more
Sleep my child and Peace Attend Thee
05 I Remember Johnny (06:01)
('allright' and 'tonight' in background samples)
Johnny, remember me
and I'll always remember you
Johnny, remember me
I'll always remember you
...
When I think of Johnny
I remember the spring
I remember his laughter
And the way he would sing
( Nana Mouskouri Sample )
06 Swollen (07:24)
With you in my garden
its more peaceful inside
I don't need anything else
to make me feel alive
You electrify me
And I want to be in your arms
for always
for always
Our love is swollen
Made of the quietest shade of loud
Holds me like an anchor
Floats just like a cloud
Our love is swollen
Made of the quietest shade of loud
Holds me like an anchor
Floats just like a cloud
Our love is swollen
Made of the quietest shade of loud
Holds me like an anchor
Floats just like a cloud
08 A Ribbon for My Hair (05:24)
He gave me a silver ring
But I turned away
And he heard me say,
"Oh, he doesn't, he doesn't understand
I don't need riches to make me care;
Just a ribbon for my hair..."
11 Always (12:45)
Just before I go to sleep
There's a rendez-vous I keep
And, my darling, till we do
You are always in my heart
