Amato

Wiki info: Bent is an electronica act from Nottingham, England consisting of Neil "Nail" Tolliday and Simon Mills. They gained critical acclaim from their debut album Programmed to Love in 2000.

The duo were initially noted for their ability to create their own mischievous style of recordings by sampling their private record collections (which they have themselves referred to as "dodgy"). On the 2003 single "Magic Love" they sampled a Toni Tennille performance. With the release of 2004's Ariels, Bent took a sharp turn into live-based recording using predominantly original material. 2006's Intercept! saw the duo taking a step back into the style reminiscent of the first two albums, although adding a more discoesque touch. Their prankster-ish reputation is reprised with the track "Stay Out All Night", in which the sole lyric (repeated twice) is "People who are afraid of the dark send their children to bed and stay out all night".

I always like their song As You Fall the best. But listening to that song and to this song it's like two different artists. I always like Bent's diversity the best :)

[Song0Seven]

absolutely, listening to one of their albums is like listening to 5 or 6 different artists. They stretch across genres constantly. Hence why they are one of my favorite bands.

Call me crazy, but this song sounds a lot like George Harrison wrote it, and even the voice sounds like George... by which I mean it's a huge compliment to Bent, who truly amaze me with the quality and variety of their music.
