Alchemy: An Index of Possibilities is the second solo studio album by David Sylvian, first released in December 1985 on cassette only as a limited edition. Alchemy is an intermediary album, released between his first solo album Brilliant Trees and his next solo album Gone to Earth, and it is made up of various separate projects.
It was re-issued in its original form on CD in Japan in 1991. Additionally, subsequent versions were released. First in the 1989 boxset Weatherbox, and a remastered version 2003, which added tracks from more different projects, thus somewhat adding to the release not being a singular distinct album.
