Against the Grain (Acoustic Alchemy album)

Against The Grain, Acoustic Alchemy's 8th album, was released on 11 October 1994 under the GRP label.

Despite having only ten tracks, Against the Grain manages to notch up a total play time of 53 minutes because of the band's experimentation with some longer, more drawn out tracks.

The most successful effort from this release was "Lazeez", one of two tracks from this album to appear on the compilation album, "The Very Best Of Acoustic Alchemy" (2002).
