Thanks @sygnus21 , they were off my radar, and they are fabulous!Acoustic Alchemy...
Having not listened to any Alchemy since basically getting them, last week while cruising my library, I stopped at Radio Contact see if I was missing anything. What I came away with was "What a beautiful album". After listening to both Early Alchemy, and The New Edge, I now finish off with Aart....
The only thing that changed is singular to plural - what beautiful albums. Their style is smooth jazz / new age. The core of the sound are the guitars of Nick Webb (ultimately replaced by Miles Gilderdale - Aart, Radio Contact)) Steel String guitar, and Greg Carmichael on nylon string guitar, of which conveys a great sense of depth and emotion.
They're now a main stay in my play list. Yet another reason I ripped my collection.... the rediscoveries.

I agree 100% - It sure is! What an overlooked masterpiece, but with things like 'The Musical Box', this was top-heavy with masterpieces. I even overlooked it for years after I got the album, but it finally got through and worked its magic.I still maintain that Seven Stones is one of the most epic prog rock songs of all time ...
I've had that Incognito CD sitting in my Amazon box for 2 years now, and still haven't gotten it. Perhaps because I've got enough of their CDs already....

So I've had my current Head-Fi setup for 12-18 months (depending which specific piece of gear we're talking about) now, and I've listened to this album numerous times via streaming platform - both Spotify and Deezer.
But ... this is the first time I'm listening to the old CD I bought sometime back in the late 80s or early 90s. Definitely a different master. The CD version sounds much "thicker" with more propensity to make my planars growl (in a good way).
