BENT IS - Another E-lectronic shitfest from Jim Holmes. This version features songs composed mainly from circuit bent children''s toys, drum machines and human beatboxing. Songs reviews from https://www.tradebit.com decribe the music as "a pointless exercise in digital editing", "a bunch of samples strewn together without thought or reason", and my favorite "I waited forever for this song to start. Then I wished it didn''t". While I mostly agree with the insight and thoughtfulness of these critics, I will say that the music is not sampled. It''s played live to analog tape with little editing and no regard for music theory or artistic integrity.
