Against The Grain, Acoustic Alchemy's 7th album, was released in 1994 under the GRP label.
Despite having only ten tracks, "Against The Grain" still manages to notch up a total play time of 53 minutes, notably because of the band's experimentation with some longer, more drawn out tracks.
The most successful effort from this release was "Lazeez", a popular live favourite, and is one of two tracks from this album to appear on the compilation album, "The Very Best Of Acoustic Alchemy" (2002).
