When John Lyell sat back and listened to the final mixdown of this wonderful album, he had to have been overjoyed!

The album includes some really uplifiting ambient arrangements that have a tendency to strike just where they're needed... the sensory 'g spot' if you like that all of us need to have replenished at some time or another in our lives and Dimensions is the album to do it.

Sequences are very well thought out and I can't find anything at all in this album that's in any way negative. John's compositional skills are undoubtedly first division but it's the superbly decorated stereo image complete with lots of lush pads and sweeps that keep your attention fixed and focused.

Musicians that signpost their self released albums with 'produced', 'engineered', 'composed', and 'performed' need to be very careful these days as it's a hanging flashing sign to many of us on this side of the fence that the recordings are likely going to be uninventive, amateurish, or at best 'ok'. John Lyell is an exception here, all of the time, effort, and energy he put in to making this album possible was very worthwhile for what I consider to be a very strong and exceptional collection of recordings.
