Martyn Bennett - Aye

by Martyn Bennett

Martyn Bennett - Aye: The amazing Martyn Bennett lives on in this smashing album featuring some of his finest work plus previously unreleased tracks which will have Bennett fans everywhere waiting in eager anticipation.  Eleven tracks, brilliant examples of his experiments with traditional and world music, rave culture, remixing and much more besides. Martyn who passed away aged 33 in 2005 was a piper, fiddler, composer, innovator and guru of the techno celtic dance scene. A reviewer from music magazine 'Mojo' said of Martyn's work: "Scots music has never sounded like this before. No music has ever sounded like this before."

Review: He was leftfield, radical and largely unheralded even within the roots/folk world, but this startlingly set confirms Martyn Bennett a solid goal genius. Even his relatively early track Ud The Doudouk – from 1997’s Bothy Culture – which opens this collection, is a deliciously rich, genre-busting cascade of styles with a heavy Middle Eastern flavor. A fine fiddle and bagpipe player who was effectively the first to convincingly blend tradition and techno in a glorious collision between a pure Celtic heritage and a heaving thud of the dance floor, he was on the cusp of greatness in the early 2000’s when Hodgkin’s Lymphoma intervened. He died in 2005 at 33, but this sweeping, grandstanding set – including his remix of Peter Gabriel’s Sky Blue, a sample of travelling singer Lizzie Higgins on Blackbird and an expansive version of a Gaelic psalm on Liberation – is thrillingly alive....Colin Irwin, Mojo Magazine
