Faerie Stories
''Faerie Stories'' is the second album by Scottish Celtic fusion group Peatbog Faeries, released in 2001 on Greentrax Recordings. The album was reissued in 2008 as a digipack. The album is large departure from the sound of their début album ''Mellowosity'' (1996), and sees the band explore a largely electronic sound mixed with their traditional Celtic fusion sound. Influences of electronic genres such as electronica, house, dubtronica and trip hop, in addition to even dub music and African music can be heard on the album fused with traditional Scottish Celtic music.
Co-produced between the band's percussionist Iain Copeland and Calum MacLean, working under the pseudonym Jason Famous, the album was recorded in 1999 across three Scottish studios but was not released until June 2001 as the original record label intended to release the album, the New York-based Astor Place Recordings, went bankrupt and closed. Despite the delays, the album was released to a very positive critical response, and was re-released in 2008 on the band's own label Peatbog Records.
==Background==
Peatbog Faeries formed in 1994 on the Isle of Skye and signed to Greentrax Recordings for the release of their début album ''Mellowosity'' (1996). Originally working with both instrumental and vocal tracks, they had settled being on a purely instrumental band by the point of ''Mellowosity'', with both fans and the band preferring this stance.〔http://www.pri.org/stories/2012-03-07/video-peatbog-faeries-dust〕 Peter Morrison said that "obviously, as a band you normally gravitate to the stuff people are enjoying the most. You go by the crowd. We started mixing a bit of reggae and funk with pipe tunes. That was really popular. So we kind of started moving towards that. By the time we released our first album (), we almost moved completely away from songs."〔http://www.pri.org/stories/2012-03-07/video-peatbog-faeries-dust〕 ''Mellowosity'' was released in December 1996, blended a wide spectrum of musical ideas into the band's repertoire.〔http://www.allmusic.com/album/mellowosity-mw0000091979〕 The general sound of the album included tinges of jazz, dub and a progressive sound compared to Pink Floyd.〔http://www.folkmusic.net/htmfiles/webrevs/cdtrax124.htm〕
The album was released to a positive reception from fans and critics, and Craig Harris of Allmusic, later noted that with ''Mellowosity'', the band "emerged as one of the funkiest tradition-rooted bands in Scotland."〔http://www.allmusic.com/artist/peatbog-faeries-mn0000038536/biography〕 Nonetheless, after the release of ''Mellowosity'', the band sought to continue in a new direction. With new instruments such as a Roland VS800 and VS1680 being acquired by the band, the band's sound became more electronic than before, and after lengthy touring in support of ''Mellowosity'', the band began work on the new album in 1999.
