Acoustic Alchemy American/english Smooth Jazz Music Cd Review By Clyde Lee Dennis I can describe the latest release from Smooth Jazz super group Acoustic Alchemy for you with just one word, Outstanding!
American/English grabs your attention right from the outset with The Crossing and won't let go until the very last note of the very last song The Moon And The Sun, which by the way is another great track.
Acoustic Alchemy is one of those groups that have the ability to just bowl you over with their collective talent. The kind of musicians it's really a treat to be able to listen to.
This CD literally grabs your attention right out of the gate with The Crossing and doesn't let go until the very last note of the very last song The Moon And The Sun, which by the way is another great track.
The nice thing about a CD like this is when the talent is this rich even if Smooth Jazz isn't your favorite genre you still can't help but appreciate the greatness of the musicians.
I'm of the opinion that American/English is certainly some of this groups best work in a few years. A totally enjoyable CD and an outstanding release. What I call must have music. I give it two thumbs up because it's a collection that even the casual Smooth Jazz fan can appreciate and enjoy.
Listen to and I think you'll agree that the song choices are excellent, the production is outstanding and Acoustic Alchemy is clearly a group that is in top form.
While this entire album is outstanding some of my favorites are track 1 - The Crossing, track 5 - The Detroit Shuffle, and track 11 - The Moon And The Sun
My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 7 - She Speaks American/English. What a nice track!
American/English Release
TheIdioteque @ 01/07/2009 08:26 PM : Re: Top 10 of 2008 Seriously it was fantastic, it gets hate because of all the praise, which is just too bad.
I probably liked it so much because I saw it on the first day, without knowing what the critical reception was like or how popular it would be. Therefore, I was expecting a mildly exciting, if generic, comicbook superhero movie that would probably be above average (based on the quality of Batman Begins).
I was floored.
Anyways, I have yet to see Milk, Slumdog Millionaire, or Frost/Nixon, which are all supposed to be good, so I my opinion might change. ClintRuin @ 01/07/2009 08:25 PM : And for the record, Premo was still one of the best producers in rap way up until like 2004 or so. Devin's "Doobie Ashtray" (which is just UNREAL, Premier doing GREAT Houston-style shit while still keeping his own style) and Screwball's "Seen It All" are easily in my top 15 Premo tracks, and they're both early '00s joints.
I definitely see what diction means about Premo's drums sounding weak now, but as far as I can tell, dude's only been "off" for like 3 years, which I know in rap is like 15 years compared to most other genres, but I don't think it's fair to write him off completely just yet. Besides, with a lot of his new tracks the drums really are the only problem with them, the loops/cuts/scratches are still all spot on. I don't get what motivated him to start relying on Fruity Loops for all of his drum sounds.
