5.0 out of 5 stars Celtic folk dub funk - a delightful 45 mins of Mellowosity, 3 Nov 2000

By	lesley@lazy.oik.co.uk (Inverness-shire, Scotland) - See all my reviews

The Peatbog Faeries debut CD combines traditional instruments such as bagpipes, fiddle and bodhran with funky synth and thundering bass, to produce heavenly music for jigging round your living room to. Superficially folky, Lexy Macaskill is a rousing march for the penny whistle with an infectious dance beat. This starts most of their gigs with the result most of the audience are up on their feet by the end of the track. Eiggman, written for the celebration following the handover of the Island of Eigg to the resident crofters, is a deliciously bittersweet tune for the pipes and fiddle. The Manali Beetle is one of my favourite tracks of all time, a bonny pipe tune bouncing along on top of Big Faerie's insistent thumping sexy bass never fails to have me jigging around, difficult if I'm listening while driving but impossible to keep still to. Macedonian Woman's Rant is pretty standard Peatbog Fayre, possibly the weakest track in this collection but then there had to be one and it earns its place through some billiant fiddle playing. Angus Mackinnon is a splendid reggae version of a spine tingling pipe tune that even your granny could skank to. Leaving the Road is another good modern pipe tune with electric guitar and jazzy synths underpinned by more funky bass playing like only a big Faerie can. Weary We've Been and Dancing Feet is almost cajun to start with typically brilliant fiddle and pipes and out of nowhere an organ - these lads really know how to put instruments together like you've never heard before. Maids of Mount Cisco is a pretty little whistle tune which gets the sort of jazz folk treatment you've come to know and love by now. Mellowosity is with a lazy drifting pipe tune over soaring guitars and solid bass with loads of twiddly bits and synth wooshes - equally good for coming down from a club or a ceilidh and probably make you want to go back out to one. Everyone with the slightest hint of Scottishness about them should own this CD, you can't help but be stirred by the pipes and it really doesnt matter what kind of music you're into because the Peatbog Faeries have it all in a big magical melting pot that you can't stop listening to even if you wanted to. I only stopped playing it when their second CD (Faerie Stories) appeared - these are very addictive sexy sounds that'll have all your friends asking 'What on earth is this we're listening too??' about ten minutes before they start inexplicably jigging about to it. Believe in Faeries - buy this CD!

5.0 out of 5 stars Soft hard toe tapping Celtic Acid Funk..., 28 Feb 2006

By	Tim the Grey (UK) - See all my reviews

So, there I was, Cambridge Festival 1999, passing the Radio 2 stage. Oh god, ANOTHER set of bagpipes... Then, there's this HUGE reggae dub bass line. I stopped in mid stride, turned in, and I've been hooked ever since.
I've met the guys on occasion at festivals, and they really are nice people too. Oh, and they make GREAT music.

This album is chameleon like. Play it loud, and bounce like zebedee in a fit, or turn it down low, and it will lull you off to sleep.
In a word?
PERFECT.

2.0 out of 5 stars hmmm, 9 Jan 2007

By	EThere (UK) - See all my reviews

after purchasing "faerie stories" and being VERY impressed with it, i purchased this with high expectations. it did not grab me. but then i enjoy original progresive music such as fusion of tadiontional and modern sounds; and mellowosity sticks more to the traditional. don't judge the music by the cool CD cover of mellowosity. it's not nearly as exotic and exiting as faerie stories -- which incidently and ironically has a drab cover.
