Natural Elements (Acoustic Alchemy Album)
Natural Elements was the second major label release by Acoustic Alchemy from 1988.
The shortest of all of the band's albums, only comprising eight tracks, Natural Elements set out to show what the title suggests: the organic side to Acoustic Alchemy's music.
Points to note from this album include the title track, Natural Elements, which became the theme tune to long-running BBC gardening show, Gardener's World, and the re-recording of an early track, "Casino", now re-arranged to include piano and full percussion parts.
The track "Ballad For Kay" is dedicated to Nick Webb's wife, Kay.

Famous quotes containing the words natural and/or elements:
“It is as natural to die as to be born; and to a little infant, perhaps, the one is as painful as the other.”
—Francis Bacon (1561–1626)
“Three elements go to make up an idea. The first is its intrinsic quality as a feeling. The second is the energy with which it affects other ideas, an energy which is infinite in the here-and-nowness of immediate sensation, finite and relative in the recency of the past. The third element is the tendency of an idea to bring along other ideas with it.”
—Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)
