Ashley only made one electronic song though the rest of his stuff was just (very good, imho) Celtic rock. And I liked Sleepy Maggie for that matter... was actually a litte disappointed Mary Jane Lamond's solo record didn't try out that direction again (though it too is excellent).

interesting contemporary electronic rendition ofthe same Scottish song by Skilda: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9vYohShHekI
