Al weighs in on Laurence's debut album, SURROUNDED:

“A phenomenal album, with excellent production and outstanding material. A record of this quality should be out there. Laurence’s playing and compositions are excellent - his understanding and passion for the music shine through. He is an excellent musician, and this is a near perfect album. It is rare to hear a record of such quality, where every note is perfectly placed and sounds perfectly natural, in this day and age of processed music. This record is a hit waiting to happen, and should be on the radio and in every record collection.”

- Al Di Meola
