Knowledge, as I'm sure you all realize, is something that shouldn't be wasted. That's why, in this vast network of web sites we call the "Internet," I'm sharing knowledge with you about a duo known as Bentley Rhythm Ace. Now, what you probably already know about these guys is that they're a British duo whose name is synonymous with wack. One of the guys in the duo, Mike Stokes, has been DJing in England for years; the other guy, Richard Marsh, played bass for the now- defunct alterna- dance outfit Pop Will Eat Itself. The Bentleys awesome self- titled debut was co- released by the UK dance label Skint and the United States' proud Astralwerks label. People liked it.

But here's the important thing: the Bentleys radiate charm. They're crazy- ass bastards; it's a bone they milk every chance they get. Which is why it's so great that they were called in to record the third in a series of UK- issued DJ mix compilations called The Future Sound of the United Kingdom (or, as it's better known, FSUK). Presently, these discs are only available on import, but in this particular case, your $30 would be well spent.

What the FSUK series is all about is putting a DJ at the decks for a couple of hours and letting them go nuts. Naturally, when the Bentleys were called in to mix it up for this compilation, they took "nuts" to an entirely new level. So, FSUK3 is more than two hour's worth of complete insanity. I mean, I don't know what DJ mixes you've heard, but I can assure you, you've never heard one quite like this.

Over two discs, the Bentleys spin Betty Boo, Afrika Bambaataa, 1960s- era Herbie Hancock, Kim Fowley, John Barry, the Bar Kays, the Jurassic 5, Supergrass, Moondog, Buffalo Springfield, and lots of incredibly obscure, weird records you've never heard of. And the best part is, everything's beat- matched! That's right, this shit flows seamlessly together, like a cornucopia of psycho. So make your call. Sure $30 is a lot of money, but when are you gonna get another chance to hear an old Jefferson Airplane instrumental mixed into Fatboy Slim's "Es Paradis?"
