"I discovered the sound of AA in 1991 ( a little kind of late) but when I listened to this album I fell in-love with Smooth Jazz.Over the years I followed the change of their sound.When Nick Webb died so did the pure sound of Acoustic Alchemy.I only owned 3 CDs of them since Miles Gilderdale joined and no disrespect to him - he's a great performer but eversince he joined I started to like them less and less.I do have all their CDs during the Webb-Carmichael era and this one I consider the best!Drake's Drum is my all-time favorite AA piece together with Mr.Chow (Red Dust...), Jamaican Heartbeat (Back On The Case) and Catalina Kiss (Blue Chip).The Cds "Early Alchemy" and "Reference Point" would not disappoint you as well."Against The Grain" is not a bad album and "Positive Thinking" is just a 2-star CD."
