Elements is an award-winning album. It won “Best Instrumental Album” through Zone Music Reporter, and has received multiple 5-star reviews from professional music reviewers all over the world.

Elements was recorded in front of a live audience, and is presented to you uncut. It reflects Matthews musical interpretation of the 4 basic elements, along with “spirit” as a fifth. It is essentially a single composition with 5 movements; Water, Air, Fire, Earth, and Spirit. It is about 45 minutes long, and is broken into 5 track s so that you are able to quickly play your favorite movements. However, this album is intended to be listened to from beginning to end.

Since it is a live and uncut recording, you do hear audience sounds, including clapping at the beginning and the end. The audience was impressively quiet through the entire piece.
