"Welcome back my friends, to the show that never ends!" So spake the mighty Emerson Lake & Palmer back in the prog-addled mists of the '70s. And it also applies here to sonic physicians Bent, whose new single 'Stay The Same' you will no doubt be fingering in an excited, anticipatory manner, right now.

Following their majestic second album 'The Everlasting Blink' and sparkling satellite single 'Magic Love', those Bent geezers have decided to share another slice of their beautiful, bountiful electronic pie with everybody in
the whole world.

With 'Stay The Same', Bent have managed another astounding feat of alchemy, sampling '70s brace-twanger David Essex and in the process making him sound rather like a Lazyitis era Shaun Ryder. Cripes!! The mood is melancholy yet uplifting, Essex's voice swathed in haunting electro-sumptuousness on a bouncy mattress of pneumatic bass and beats. And that's not all, not by a long chalk! In addition to the original we are treated to a pair of really rather splendid mixes from Tony Senghore and Themroc. Senghore's 'Horehaus Vocal Remix' is seriously massive, a huge dancefloor classic in the making from this up-and-coming fresh talent - so much so that it takes pride of place on the A-side. Themroc's mix is also striking, being a stripped down, bass-dominated monster rejigging of the original.

So hey. Don't change. Bent love you just the way you are, so why not 'Stay
The Same'?
