Editorial Reviews
CD Description
Like their first album Mellowosity this album has remained on Greentrax all time best sellers list. This is their second recording and includes the popular tunes "Folk Police" and "Caberdrone".
From the Label
Based on the Isle of Skye, the Peatbog Faeries released their debut album Mellowosity in 1996 to critical acclaim. Since then they have toured extensively and are in great demand at festivals around the world. This is high octane Celtic dance music which incorporates many musical influences, from traditional jigs and reels through to jazz, hip-hop and reggae.
Customer Reviews
Bagpipe Funk at its Finest
Heard two tracks on the BBC, and was hooked. Peatbog Faeries produce a truly infectious, pumping sound of pipes and whistles and electric goodies, with a fine bass and percussion background to keep things moving. I prefer the faster-paced stuff on Faerie Stories over their earlier album, and indeed I think this cd is perhaps the best in the genre- Celtic-techno-funk or whatever it should be called! Rolling down one's windows in South Mississippi with booming roiling bagpipes is also a great thrill (surpisingly, this sort of music is rarely heard down here...)
Techno-Folk at its best
Being very new to celtic folk music, (I didn't know that I liked it until last month), I saw the Faeries live at Cambridge Folk Festival and was blown away by them. Consequently I bought the CD. The opening two tracks are tracks that will have anyones feet tapping. The rest is of a slower tempo but is great chill-out music. By the way - my favourite bands are Kiss & Rush so this is not just for 'Folkies'
What a great second album.
Especially following the dramas in getting it released...
I actually have BOTH versions, as I bought the small pressing the band had made while they were between record companies, as well as the 'official' release.
More dancy than Mellowosity, but still with that solid folk roots under there.
Still loving it.
