Smooth Jazz
These guys are are at the top of my Jazz list. I fell in love with Acoustic Alchemy after seeing them live while promoting this CD. I have two copies in case I wear one out. If you don't find yourself relaxed and free of stress after listening to this collection of songs, then you are lost. This CD is excellent listening for the drive in to work, relaxing with a glass of wine, background music while reading a book or simply getting you mind off of the daily grind. You will really enjoy. .


Acoustic Alchemy Forever!
I've been listening to this group since their very first album and even though the loss of founding member Nick Webb was tragic,the group remains as versatile and alive in their composing and as always, excellent in their performance. The Beautiful Game is an excellent album once again from Acoustic Alchemy. If you are a fan of jazz music then Acoustic Alchemy should be an intricate part of your collections. .


The Beautiful Game
Unfortunately, I can't wrest it from my wife, who plays it constantly in her car. This is my first "Acoustic Alchemy" CD. . . . . I may have to buy another copy.


Fusion lacking a fuse...
Overall you'll find it enjoyable, though at times overly simplistic. The Beautiful Game is an interesting combination of newage jazz and steel-string free-bop. Most of the melody lines, Angel of the South and The Last Flamenco especially, are easy enough to pick out and jam along with. If you're a Jazzer and looking for easy jam tracks, BUY THIS ALBUM! If you're someone after a more tangibly academic listening experience, I'd recomend Allan Holdsworth's Velvet Darkness, which has several acoustic tracks with simmilar sentiment. Sadly though, the album seems to be lacking the live quality that guys like Jeff Beck and Carlos Santana can pull off on even their most overproduced albums. Meanwhile, Acoustic Alchemy is heavily synthed and filtered, but still an enjoyable experience with great atmosphere.


Beautiful Album
Turns out that I have been looking for an album like this for years!!! This is my first but not my last album from Acoustic Alchemy. I have been looking for new music for quite some time to add to my collection. I have been playing this CD over and over again since I bought it. This is definately a MUST HAVE CD!.
