Of all AA cds, this is their best (IMO)
, March 7, 2002Reviewer: David L - See all David L's reviewsI have 7 cds of Acoustic Alchemy and have been following them for about 15 years. The Natural Elements cd is the one I always go back to and have NEVER gotten tired of. Every song is great. For the most part the songs are laid back, except for "Evil the Weasel" which almost has a funk flavor. If you are only going to get one AA cd, you won't be disappointed with this one. Next I'd recommend Arcanum. -

, March 31, 2000Reviewer: neocolin - See all neocolin's reviews"Natural Elements" was written by Greg Carmichael and Nick Webb... which is not a departure from the rest of the Acoustic Alchemy catalog, but they wrote this one while isolated in a cottage in the middle of nowhere. Let me tell you, that must be the key to success. The whole CD is pretty great... the highlights being "Overnight Sleeper" (one of their most memorable) "Drake's Drum" and, despite the name "Evil the Weasel", which is probably the best track on the whole thing. Excellenteaux!

Pro Reviews: Natural Elements
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Not quite complex enough to be jazz, not quite mellow or ambient enough to be new age, and just a little too cerebral to just be pop music, Acoustic Alchemy's Natural Elements is its own little oddity. These tunes, based on the dueling acoustic guitars of Gregory Carmichael and Nick Webb, are invariably melodic, at times featuring a sort of folkiness that suggests Bert Jansch and John Renbourn's work in the Pentangle, and the mixture of acoustic guitar and synthesizers is not really that much different from what Vini Reilly was doing in the far hipper Durutti Column around the same time. On the down side, John Parson's production, which is heavy on his own synthesizer programming, is as slick as fiberglass rubbed down with bacon fat and causes even the most agreeable tunes, like the lovely "Late Night Duke Street," to slide away into nothingness after all but the most careful listens. A fine album, Natural Elements is nonetheless only for committed fans of the genre. - Stewart Mason, All Music Guide |
