2003
I purchased Bent's first album on a previous shopping trip so the thematic link involved in getting their second album on this jaunt appealed to me. However, whereas I quite liked Programmed To Love, this is a bit of a disappointment.
It's mostly ambient, modern easy listening such as that produced by Lemon Jelly or Zero 7. It drifts past your ears without leaving much of an impression. It's all very well produced but I'm not sure what the point is.
A couple of tracks distinguish themselves amongst the overall wash of sound. "Moonbeams" has glistening lap steel pealing out over a fairly generic backing, while "So Long Without You" is a nice song.
If I was after something inoffensive to have on in the background, then this would be fine. But that's about it.
