The Alchemists
"The Alchemists"
|
Alchemy - the process of turning base metal into gold. Translating technique into musical experience. These are "The Alchemists". This is the album you hold in your hands, a collection of 27 of the world's finest guitarists. "The Alchemists" has been bubbling away on the back-burner for many years, the first release on a brand new guitar label, Liquid Note Records, whose priority will be to produce high quality music featuring some of the hottest players in the business. This project is the realisation of a long-held dream: to one day release a CD of label head Matt Williams' favourite guitar players. As a fan of challenging instrumental guitar music, and having contributed to its promotion for many years, Williams relished the opportunity to gather a pool of accumulated talent - and to invite you, the listener to enjoy its therapeutic properties.
On this album, you will discover outstanding virtuosity, advanced technical prowess - musicians with an innate ability to move the contents of their heads directly into our hearts. Unlike almost any other modern instrument, the guitar is uniquely suited to speak in a variety of tongues; to express its emotional content in countless languages and in numerous dialects. Here you will find heavy tracks, OTT shredding tunes, gentler, more relaxed moments - premier musicianship from an array of unique talent.
