For the third video in my 10-year anniversary mini-series, Im starting up a new yearly tradition of reviewing one random album of my own choice, and I decided to go with one particular all-time favorite which has an anniversary of its own this year, talking about the 2000s downtempo duo Bent and their masterpiece debut (and all its frustrating alternate tracklistings).

This small-time Memphis techno artist returns once again to deliver one of the most challenging, paranoid and out-there experimental techno/IDM albums Ive heard this year so far as a loose metaphor for the horror of living in America in 2025.
