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 terms 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.

This album is rated highly for a good reason. It's perhaps one of the best Goa albums ever. Definitely a must have.

All the tracks show a unique style that can be attributed to Dimension 5, at least in their early releases and first album. I don't think I've ever heard a Goa track with quite the use of acidic sounds used in all these tracks. They are all very melodic and high energy, and they use samples very well.

The first 9 tracks are mainly high energy, complex, and building. They all tell their own story and are mostly all amazing tracks! The best ones IMO are probably Deep Space, Psychic Influence, Harmonic Convergence and Omega Centaurus.

Flow is somewhat a cool down track as it's name suggests, and is really also amazing, though being very different from the rest.
Rated 5/5

Simply a brilliant album. Some of the best full-on goatrance ever produced... Very atmospheric, but with loads of pumping energy. Draws a fine line in terms of maximalism/minimalism - quite melodic and euphoric but maintains focus, manylayered but still tight and very danceable. Deep space 5D is almost what you could call progressive goatrance - a very hypnotic track, honouring the true meaning of Trance. Almost all the tracks run at around 150 BPM.
