What is "hardland"

Hardland is the third studio album by the Scottish Celtic fusion artist Martyn Bennett. It was released in 2000 in collaboration with a fellow artist/producer Martin Low.

Of the album, Bennet says, "As a fashion statement Hardland does not follow current trends. Dance music is evolving so rapidly, that it became our conscious decision not to try and emulate any particular dance genre and focus instead on making it sound 'Hard and Scottish'."
