Otherworld features eleven tracks that mix traditional Irish folk pieces, original compositions and cover versions;[REF] the band's versions of the Irish folk tunes were described by one critic as "dazzling reworkings."[REF]
Stylistically, however, Otherworld is characterised by experimenting whilst at the same time staying true to traditional music,[REF] featuring a "front line of flute, pipes and fiddle"[REF] that is "propelled from the bottom" by Trevor Hutchinson's "driving" double bass work,[REF] an instrument rarely seen in Celtic music [REF].
