''Another Story'' is the second and final album by the Scottish band Fiction Factory. It was released in 1985. The album was a commercial failure and featured no hit singles, despite the release of three singles the same year; "Not the Only One", "No Time" and "Standing at the Top of the World". ==Background== The album featured a major change in band personnel, as the original members keyboardist and writer Eddie Jordan, drummer Mike Ogletree and bassist Graham McGregor had left the band. This left lead vocalist Kevin Patterson and guitarist Chic Medley to become the two remaining members, who in turn hired guest musicians for the recording of the album such as keyboardist Paul Wishart, guitarist Pim Jones, percussionist James Locke and brass player Graham Weir. Medley produced the album, with Patterson as assistant producer, and both wrote the entire album material either together or solely (except "Lose Your Heart in Nature" which was credited also to Wishart). The album and the singles received very limited promotion, with no music videos being made, nor any TV appearances featuring the band performing the material, except for one performance of "Not the Only One" on the German show Musik Convoy in May.〔http://www.thecentralbox.com/pop-ebv/109214-fiction-factory-not-only-one-musik-convoy-06-05-85-a.html〕 The band did perform a small number of UK concerts. Shortly following the failure of the album, Fiction Factory disbanded. After this, Medley worked on various musical projects and with numerous bands whilst Patterson became briefly involved as a music producer before leaving the music industry to being working in the IT department at the University of Dundee. The band did briefly reunite, only consisting of Patterson and Jordan to perform "(Feels Like) Heaven" with a backing band at Jordan's wedding in August 2007. In 2011, the original band reunited to play live at the Rewind Festival. Aside from the lack of commercial success, Fiction Factory also felt they never managed to create something that was as good as "(Feels Like) Heaven", and that all they did was measured against it. Patterson later recalled ''"We could never shake that one song."'' Years later, Patterson also stated in an interview that he wanted to record "Another Story" as an end to the band as he had had enough of music, living in constant stress and constantly writing songs, so he disbanded the group. In recent years, the album track "Time is Right" has grown in popularity, despite not being a single. On YouTube, it has gained 70,000 views over two videos both uploaded in 2008. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Another Story (Fiction Factory album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
