The Dimension Gate is the second studio album by Aurora Sutra, released in March 1994 by Talitha Records. [1] [2] [3]
Aiding & Abetting called The Dimension Gate "oddly dissonant" and "unsettling, especially with the lush backgrounds provided." The critic went on to say "the strange sounds created are worth studying in detail." [4] Industrial Reviews awarded the album four out of five stars and praised the vocal performances while comparing the band favorably to Thine Eyes and Dead Can Dance. [5] Sonic Boom called the album "A unique concept" and said "the vocalist has a deep haunting, almost melodic voice, coupled tightly with the upbeat story telling music, makes for interesting listening." [6]
All tracks are written by Patricia Nigiani and Peter Spilles, except "Hide and Seek" by Howard Jones.
