Bothy Culture "quietly political in its beauty" and the album's "centrepiece." The hypnotic "Ud the Doudouk" mixes melodies and Bennett's playing of the doudouk, a Middle Eastern woodwind instrument, with "techno club and Scottish folk beats".

"Bothy Culture" was released on 13 January 1998 by Rykodisc. A relative commercial success, the album topped the US college radio charts.
