Despite his struggles with ill-health, multi-instrumentalist Martyn Bennett continues to be in the vanguard of those mixing traditional music and technology.This, his fourth album, features a cycle of Gaelic songs sung by his mother Margaret, and the family connection is extended with sampled field-recordings of his grandmother and great-great grandfather. Bennett has framed and interleaved mum's bright, delicate yet wiry vocals with restrained touches of fiddle, pipes, guitar, bass and percussion, as well as a wealth of found sounds -- birds, bees, a ticking clock and a fishing-boat's bilge-pump -- digitally transformed into loops and rich background textures. Other samples include the sound of a 1920s threshing machine, woven into the reaping song Buain A' Choirce, Bosnian artillery fire in the bitter lament A Theˆrlaich ñig, and wild Native American chants and drumming on the 19th-century Canadian composition Oran Nam Mogaisean.Profound in conception and assured in execution, Glen Lyon is a bold, brilliant and often deeply moving synthesis of modern studio capabilities and the ageless potency of ancient songs, catalysed by one of the most fertile musical minds in the business.
