Average Rating:
 Rating: - A Work Of ArtIn the words of Martyn Bennett: "There is a dichotomy in this music; a gentle old tradition of the land and the sea against the neon technolodgy of our growing urban culture. The tunes are of an old style: Scottish, Irish, Swedish even Islamic. The beats and mixes are of a new style: Garage, Breakbeat, Trippy, Hip, Drum & Bass. I hope when you listen or dance to these tunes you get a sense of your own roots. If you push back the pressure of Urban development for a second you might remember where you came from. Go climb a countain and see." A must buy album if you already are into Martyn Bennett. Rating: - GeniusIf you only buy one weirdy folk/celtic/dance/Scottish foot tappin' head spinnin' grinnin' like a cheshire cat album in your life, make it this one. Rating: - An amazingly different slant on popular folk musicWhat I like about this album is the way MB manages to combine the classic sound of folk instruments, with variations on a theme. What theme though? He injects all sorts of interesting interludes into the tracks which sometimes makes you wonder exactly what you are listening to. That's the fun of it. I do believe that folk traditionalists may have a problem with the album. Those more experimental, will find it a breath of clean, fresh air. I did. Rating:  - A great album that moves on in style from his first.I think this a really well put together album. Bennett brings together many different styles, including Arabian style pipe music with the track "Ud the doudouk" - it is just a shame that sample on this site stops just as the track is about to get really going. This track merges into "4 Notes", which as the title suggests is written using only four notes, but don't let this put you off it is as varied and exciting as you can get. In short a good ethnic bagpipe based up beat album. If you can, try and see him live with Cullin - his backing duo |
