5.0 out of 5 starsA New Beginning
By P. Wung VINE VOICE on August 11, 2000
Format: Audio CD
Anytime a well established group has to regroup in order accomodate a change, the initial offering is viewed critically by their fans. With the unfortunate and sad passing of Nick Webb, Acoustic Alchemy has undergone this change. I believe that the group has indeed changed their musical direction. Not necessarily for the better or worse, but different. I personally loved the old sound, and at first listen, I know that I will love the new sound too. Greg Carmichael has assembled an ensemble of excellent players and the music is fresh and rewarding to the listener. The sound is a little funkier and more diverse, again it is different and it is a good difference. Not necessarily better or worse. If you try it, you will be rewarded amply.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat!
By AnotherMusicExpert on June 15, 2003
Format: Audio CD
Reading the other reviews here, it all really depends what you're wanting to hear. Jazz, New Age, Pop...whatever. I tracked down Acoustic Alchemy because I liked the background music on the Weather Channel! Tracks like Big Sky Country (country/pop) are superb in my book, and more of what I prefer to hear - mainstream, light pop, with some funk, jazz thrown in there too. I would say this has a little more pep & "pop" than their "jazzier" CDs. If this doesn't relax you, nothing will.

5.0 out of 5 starsThis is great!
By K. Jackson on June 22, 2000
Format: Audio CD
This is a great recording! A lot of the songs have a newer, smooth-jazz edge to them that enhances Greg Carmichael's talents and doesn't diminish from their classic sound. The new members add a nice dimension to their music, which is nice. It's touching that they were able to continue to make great music after the death of one of their founding members. I think it's a tribute to Nick Webb that they were able to continue recording without trying to recreate his musical sound, something that will never be accomplished again. I would highly recommend this to anyone who would like a great instrumental cd!

5.0 out of 5 starsMore Acoustic Magic ...
By SpondyBlondie on March 24, 2001
Format: Audio CD
Released Spring 2000 this is AA's first album since the tragic passing of Nick Webb. Whilst we mourn the cruel loss of such incredible talent Greg carries on the brightly light torch of the wonder that is AA. This highly acclaimed British group have a distinct style all of their own and have carved a well place niche in the hearts of many smooth jazz lover. This album is a slight change in direction for AA but then that was always bound to be the case with a change of artistic influence. It is I hasten to add a change of which I approve, not that Nick, God rest his soul, did a bad job. The spirit for good music lives on and the group have one again proved their sense of adventure, for being bold and trying the new. The acoustic guitar playing is, as ever, superb with a great beat evident throughout the album. This album truly is a "must have" for all those acoustic lovers. I was trying to work out which were my favourite tracks but it was proving impossible to do. What I will say however is that I love the increasing pace and spanish/latino feel of The Last Flamenco (track 7) and I adored the background sound track of Kidstuff (track 8 - I just love that little impish child giggle) and if this is the kind of talent we can expect of the boys in the future then I cant wait to see what it brings.

5.0 out of 5 starsAbsolutely wonderful!
By Lori Ries on January 10, 2003
Format: Audio CD
I think this is one of the best CD's I own. It goes with me on all my road trips. I had not listened to any of Acoustic Alchemy's music and "just happened upon it" while searchign for some new CD's. It truly is a beautiful CD.

5.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful Game
By paul burkett on March 16, 2016
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
When Nick Webb passed, I kind of gave up on this band, but that was a mistake. Greg Carmichael and group are certainly alive and strong. There are at least 3 great songs here, my favorite being "the beautiful game". Love it. Like most cd,s, there is some filler here, but all in all, if you like AA, you,ll like this effort.

5.0 out of 5 starsSmooth and relaxing if a bit of a departure from tradition
By A customer TOP 500 REVIEWER on March 10, 2013
Format: Audio CD Verified Purchase
I'm a long standing Acoustic Alchemy fan so I was expecting a detailed and subtle acoustic guitar exposition. What I got was a little more heavily orchestrated than I expected but the guitar work is true Acoustic Alchemy in spite of the Foosball cover art and soccer ball themed CD art.

While there is more back beat, brass and vocal interjection than normal for an Acoustic Alchemy release, the flourishes do not overpower the guitar work and I found the album to be imminently listenable.

Highly Recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars"they're without a doubt the best around"
By J. Lovins HALL OF FAMEVINE VOICE on October 25, 2001
Format: Audio CD
Smooth jazz today is more popular than ever...believe this group has led the way, giving the audience a broader view of this genre through the eyes of Greg Carmichael(leader of the group).
Carmichael takes another avenue with "THE BEAUTIFUL GAME", blends reggae with clean clear crisp guitars taking you on a lengthy journey, with piano counterpoints..."THE PANAMA CAT", is funky with an infectious beat, gets you in that "down with it mood"...the highlight is "HATS OF MAGIC", the magic touch of Carmichael and Snake Davis sets you adrift into another world of mist and tranquility, gotta love it.

I am not sure what Acoustic Alchemy's direction is but I wish they would go back to the early kind of music they made.

It seems whenever a group starts to get long in the tooth they fall back on some special effects and smooth tenor sax. That is all too apparent here. Read more
