This is an exceptional Acoustic Alchemy album.  Their body of studio work is great.  I've been following them from the start, and I've enjoyed the evolution of their sound album to album. Seeing them live is always a joy, usually as a 5 piece - 2 guitars, keyboards, bass and drums with the occasional guest on saxophone or trumpet.  This live album was recorded in London with the latest incarnation of the group (and no guest). It must have been recorded at the Pizza Express, Dean Street, but the album notes don't say that.  That's the only London venue that I know they've played in the last few years.  I've seen them there and at The Stables, but not last year or this.  Listening to this album that's now a big regret, but this makes up for it big time.  The live setting allows them to relax and stretch out the arrangements.  There is an extra energy and immediacy to their interplay that is really difficult to recreate in the studio, and this recording captures that live essence perfectly. Greg Carmichael playing nylon guitar has been there from the first album in 1987.  Miles Gilderdale plays steel and electric guitar, and has been involved since my particular favourite album Positive Thinking in 1998.  They do the writing and production, except for the earlier pre-1987 material composed with original member Nick Webb who sadly died during the recording of Positive Thinking.  Fred White is on keyboards here, and Greg and Gary Grainger are the brothers playing drums and bass.  This is a tight band on the top of its form on a double album of high quality performances covering a spread of material from the very first album to the most recent.   Stone Island from Red Dust and Spanish Lace, Overnight Sleeper from 1988's Natural Elements, Ariane from 1989's Blue Chip, Homecoming from 1990's Reference Point, Jamaica Heartbeat from 1991's Back On The Case, Lazeez from 1994's Against The Grain, Angel of the South and The Beautiful Game from 2000's The Beautiful Game, Tuff Puzzle and Passion Play from 2001's Aart, No Messin' from 2003's Radio Contact, Marrakesh and One For Shorty and Templemeads and Sand On Her Toes and Roseland and A Kinder Loving from 2011's Roseland.  Every version is good.  Greg's playing stands out on Roseland and Ariane. Miles' electric guitar is brilliant on Templemeads and Lazeez. Gary and Greg get to showcase on Tuff Puzzle.  Fred White's piano on A Kinder Loving is awesomely mellow, but the truth is that the band are great on all tracks, giving a really integrated atmosphere, great touches and solos.  Even the Miles band introduction is a "nice to have" to capture a little of his silly, typically English humour as the front man.   The production is clean and intimate.  I'd love to here Georgia Peach or Positive Thinking played by this band (a  request for the next tour please).  This is both a must have album for Acoustic Alchemy fans and a great introduction to their body of work.
