Since 2003, Alchemist has also featured a fifth member in Nick Wall, who provides samples for live shows.
The band announced in June 2005 that they were releasing a compilation album entitled Embryonics; this was released in late October. It covers material released between 1993 to 1998, including material from the first three albums, the 1998 EP release and demo material. Bonus tracks include two songs recorded live on the radio in 1996. The band is also working on a DVD, which will be released in 2006.

Rhythm is a big feature in every track, being erratic, broken and with the use of unconventional drum-programming and sound quality. That creates very special auras all the way throughout the piece.

Surreality
Alchemist Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't tell the difference, between the truth and lies.
[Chorus]
Surreality, surreal, reality.
Is this really me, or just an idea in my mind?
Sometimes it seems that being,
In truth I'm seeking comfort,
To difficult to find.
Infernal lobe resistance, fact and fiction are the same.
Please let all the answers be unleashed from my brain.
[Chorus]
The lyrics to Alchemist's song Surreality explore the idea of what is real and what is not. The first two lines express the singer's disbelief that existence is confined to just one life, indicating a desire to believe in the existence of something beyond the physical realm. The subsequent lines express confusion and uncertainty about the truthfulness of reality, highlighting the difficulty in discerning what is true and what is not.
The chorus of the song repeats the word "surreality," which combines the words "surreal" and "reality," further emphasizing the tension between what is real and what is imagined. The singer questions whether their sense of self is truly who they are or simply an idea in their mind.
The following verse continues the theme of questioning reality, suggesting that life itself may be a construct of the mind. The singer reveals that they are seeking comfort, but finding it difficult to do so. The final line expresses a yearning for clarity and understanding, hoping that answers will be revealed.
