Dimension 5 – Transdimensional

Just got this and am definitely not disappointed. This is one of the best psy/goa albums ever - there are a few that compare (Blue Energy, Alien Protein, for example) but only a few. I knew the standout track (Deep Space 5D) from an old mixtape, but had never heard the whole album before. It's all perfectly balanced trippy party music, without ever having a cheesiness.

Re-releasing one of the most sought after old school albums will with time must probably show to be one of Suntrip Records greatest moves. Many upon many old school afficionados have been eagerly waiting to grab hold of what is most certainly one of the center piece jewels of the royal crown.
The general idea is that "Transdimensional" has been rarely matched in of quality, and very few (if any) albums have since exemplified so flawlessly the spirit of goa trance.
As far as the tracks themselves are concerned, most are hard hitting party orientated numbers, meaning they all go pretty high up in the BPM range, are accompanied by neck snapping kicks and decorated with aboundings of cherubic melodies. Similar structures, yes, boring, no. A fair amount of these tracks have with years become favorites in hearts of plenty listeners, namely the trancey dreamer Deep Space 5D, and the explosive Psychic Influence and Harmonic Convergence.
The massive leads hit it on the nail in every track, thus enabling each tune to have that something particular which makes it a stand out on its own, while all shine equally in the context of the whole album, which is mixed by the way.
Pretty unique feat, and that is why "Transdimensional" is at the top of the heap when talking about the greatest accomplishments of the melodic old school goa trance genre.
