John McLaughlin and the 4th Dimension are scheduled to release their latest album, the title of which is now confirmed as Now Here This, in the autumn.

Details are still sketchy at this stage, although the release date is set for 16 October, according to UK distributor Proper Note.

Now Here This is to be released by Souvik Dutta’s AbstractLogix label, the US record and publishing company that first signed a distribution and retail agreement to promote John McLaughlin’s guitar instruction DVD This is the Way I Do It following a merchandising connection with McLaughlin’s Indo-fusion band Remember Shakti.

AbstractLogix also released 4th Dimension’s A Love Supreme-inspired Grammy-nominated album To the One in 2010.

Complete personnel details have not been confirmed so far for the new album, but tracks are: ‘Trancefusion’, ‘Riff Raff’, ‘Echoes From Then’, ‘Wonderfall’, ‘Call and Answer’, ‘Not Here Not There’,’ Guitar Love’ and ‘Take It or Leave It’.
