Details: Amazon.ca Armed with bags of talent, the ability to play plenty of instruments, and a drum machine, Martyn Bennett really makes an impression with Bothy Culture, his second album, but first to receive major distribution. Equally informed by the tradition and the dance culture that ruled Britain, this is a groundbreaking work. Even when this albums attempts global references ("Tongues of Kali") there is an undeniable Scottish basis. "Joik" joins the dots between Scandinavia and Caledonia, while "Yer Man From Athlone" lightly points out that the Scots and Irish had the same root stock. Humorous, danceable, and daring, this is perhaps the Scots album of the 1990s, a Trainspotting for the new folk movement. --Chris Nickson
