When music really, really moves you, it is like a journey. You start out in one place possibly the act of hitting your CD player and end up someplace totally different. Maybe it's the melodies, the grooves, and the instrumentation. Or maybe it is the culmination of experiences that the musicians have had up until the moment of time that they crafted their songs, seeping through the music and into your thoughts.

Acoustic Alchemy's American/English is just such a journey. It is an appropriate one, coming from a band entering its twentieth anniversary year, whose trans-Atlantic membership and wide-ranging influences make it a conduit for a myriad of sounds and textures. If the band has been entertained by the sounds of jazzy improvisation, late night dancing in a far away locale, or Caribbean grooves, those experiences might well seep into a new Acoustic Alchemy composition.
