Our Take

In an unlikely collaboration that seems to have been conjured up after one too many pints of Guinness, the Scottish Ensemble teams up with composer Ned Bigham and electronic duo Culebrain on their latest album, "British English."

From the opening track, "Tea and Bagpipes," the listener is immediately transported to a world where traditional Scottish folk music meets glitchy techno beats. Bigham's inventive compositions showcase the versatility and skill of the ensemble members, who effortlessly blend classical string arrangements with Culebrain's futuristic soundscapes.

Tracks like "Haggis Rave" and "Loch Ness Disco" are perfect examples of the playful spirit of the album, with unexpected twists and turns that keep the listener on their toes. It's a musical mash-up that shouldn't work, but somehow does in the most delightful way.

The standout moment of "British English" comes in the form of the hauntingly beautiful "Highland Fling," a piece that combines lush orchestration with pulsating electronic elements to create a truly mesmerizing listening experience.

Overall, the Scottish Ensemble, Ned Bigham, and Culebrain have created a one-of-a-kind album that defies genre conventions and pushes the boundaries of what is possible in classical music. "British English" is a wild ride that is sure to leave you with a smile on your face and a newfound appreciation for the weird and wonderful world of music.
