The CD Positive Thinking ... by Acoustic Alchemy, a formation of guitarist Greg Carmichael and composer arranger Nick Webb, contains ten songs, all written by themselves. Their collaboration lasted ten years. They were able to work on this album for almost a whole year. Just before the album was finished, Nick Webb passed away. The other members of Acoustic Alchemy dedicate this CD to him. The first
… song of the CD sounds full of passion and is therefore appropriately called Passionelle. The following song Rainwatching WI is nice and quiet. And that is what this album delivers: beautiful, calm listening music, such as Vapor Trails and the relaxed Time Gentlemen Please. The Better Shoes is nice and fast. Classically tinted is the title track Positive Thinking. All in all, this CD is very successful. (JW)more
