Bentley Rhythm Ace

Mix British psychedelia with saucy 1970s jazz fusion cut with a kilo of soul, add a dash of artificial techno-babble, and you've got Bentley Rhythm Ace. Oddball in the extreme, Bentley mix perambulating beats with synth tomfoolery and dancehall bebop. This energizing debut is one of the more intriguing slices of electronica splashing down the 1990s pike.
"Let There Be Flutes" nearly postulates an unholy union between progressive rock and trip-hop (prog-hop?), while "Ragtopskodacarchase" is peripatetic drum 'n' bass, the rhythms wound tighter than a psychopath's brainwaves. It's as if extra-terrestrials dropped down to witness the birth of the new British invasion, hightailed it back to the stars, and returned with Bentley Rhythm Ace.
