“Sketch have achieved a pretty optimal mix of
modern and traditional here, making this another very enjoyable CD.”
– Alex
Monaghan
“Electronics, distortion,
beat-boxing, loops, spins and twists, and things I don't even have a name for, are
thrown behind pipe and fiddle music, reels and jigs at a hot dance tempo - and it
works!”

Sketch merrily hop from
remix
to acoustic and back, displaying a huge slice of wit and awareness as they power
onward through twelve tracks which only those with cloth ears could fail to
appreciate. - Froots Mag
Following on from their debut
album
Shed Life, Highland Time is the new release from techno-trad fusion group,
Sketch.
Sketch’s sound is rooted firmly in traditional music with branches that
extend
into the realm of modern dance beats.
Featuring a host of Scotland’s finest musical talent. With vocals from
Gaelic
singer Darren Maclean and a guest appearance by Maeve Mackinnon, the album
truly
showcases the vibrancy of Scotland’s traditional music scene.
"Highland Time isn’t a collision of the old with the new – with traditional
sounds of the fiddle and the pipes soaring above a subculture of electro
bass
and percussive loops – it is a bold statement of the here and the now.”
