 Rating:  - Peatbogs are triffThis is the album that started it all for me and my wife. First heard it in 1999 on a sunny evening in a lovely restaurant above the harbour in Portree and was blown away (and my usual fare has ranged from Pink Floyd (pre-Animals), punk, new wave, indie, classical). Eiggman is my personal fave from this album. Saw them in Edinburgh where I also bought the other (at the time, 2006) three albums. As everyone says, they really take you someplace else live - sometimes back to Skye, sometimes a rock gig, sometimes Mahavishnu style jazz, often plenty of bass n' pipe driven trancey stuff. Definitely a must-see-before-you-die experience! Completely disagree with last reviewer, "Faerie Stories" is by far the weakest album with ...

Rating: - Soft hard toe tapping Celtic Acid Funk...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. Rating: - Celtic folk dub funk - a delightful 45 mins of MellowosityThe 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 ... Read More: |
