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).

gollark: 2% or 0.5% efficiency or something, but they conveniently store to chemical energy

gollark: Presumably the idea is to use the other slaves to make food, but then you need even more slaves to manage.
gollark: Well, if you enslave them and use the other humans for parenting, you just need to supply food.
gollark: Also somewhat self-repairing.
