Home - The Alchemist (1973)

Here are the third Album from this band. Again nice guitar work from Laurie Wisefield. In parts it sounds like his work in Wishbone Ash.
Quality: 256 kb/s

Thanks for this.

I have been keeping an eye out for this album for a while now.

I used have it on vinyl and remember it being quite good.

Takes a while to warm up to. Bitty in places but wholly representative of the softer touches of '70s prog-rock.

When I was a young teenager I remember listening to John Peel's radio show. At the time he was riding along with prog and a touch of Steve Miller and the Mahavishnu Orchestra, a few years before one of his regular volte face rejuvenations into reggae and dub as I recall. Anyway, he played some tracks from the Wishbone Ash Pilgramage album quite a lot for a while and quite often he would also play a track or two by Home - I think it was the "Alchemist" album. I remember liking it at the time, but being perpetually skint and less able/willing to take a risk on unfamiliar bands that hadn't actually been that successful in the charts, I didn't buy it.
I cannot now remember a single note of the album, and haven't heard it for a good 30 odd years, but it is one of those albums I've always had filed away somewhere in memory as being worth investigating.
Thank you for posting these Home albums. They are either going to sound terribly dated and I will be disappointed, or I will enjoy them and will, at long last, try to buy them.

I'm sorry I don't have anything on your wants list - all the same I'll probably be back to investigate the Poco/Furay related stuff.

Many thanks.

Haven't heard this one since I was nigh on 13/14?? I dunno but I have been searching for it in the bloggasphere for some time now and am so glad to have found it. Thank you so much. Not sure if, as a 49 year old it will resonate with my latest tastes but for the chance to be transported back to age 14!!!! Who cares. Thanks for the memories... re-kindled.
