    More than 70 minutes of music features this disc from the ever active Rick Ray. He breathes, eats and drinks music, so it seems. Except clarinet he played all instruments on Cast Into Our Dimension. The songs are very guitar oriented, seventies rock. The first track doesn't impress me, nor the second. But Guitarm And Hammer is a nice instrumental with nice melodies. Real heavy stuff you won't find on this record. A song like Time Seems To Fly you would expect to be a Beatles ditty. Unfortunately the quality of the recording is not good enough to enjoy it fully. Heavier is the instrumental Deadman's Boogie which is fun to listen to. It proves once again that Ray is a master on the fretboard. And A Wheel Within A Wheel is even a better example of his skills. Songs like these I sure wanna hear more. Just like all his records you get this disc for only 7 dollars.
