3rd Force Album: “Collective Force”

This CD is excellent listening for all occasions ... as dinner party background music, for Sunday-morning-read-the-paper-and-drink-coffee times, for e-pay of bills and other computer activities, and for that calming effect in rush hour traffic. Needless to say, I listen to this CD alot, it is one of the "standards" in my collection, and has been under the Christmas tree for many of my family members and friends.

3rd Force has a astounding sound and is simply a joy to listen to. The music is mellow and whispy and romantic and surreal. If there aren't a smash success now.............just wait! They will be. I would love to see them live.

I had heard 3rd Force on the smooth jazz station form time to time and this was the first CD of thiers that I purchased. If this was an album I would have worn it out by now. I know that "purists" turn their nose up at "best of collections" as this is but almost every song on here is great. "Got to be Real" and "The Gift" were two that I transferred to my MP3 player for my running but the more I listen the more I like each one. We all have CD's that we favor and this one finds itself in my car CD changer often.

This Is A Very Enjoyable CD! On The Laid Back Side & Great For That Sunday Morning Wakeups With The Newspaper And A Cup Of Coffee! Also Great For Those Days When The Mood Is Laid Back, Maybe A Little Retrospective Or Had A Long Workday And Just Need To Unwind With A Glass Of Wine! A Good CD For Backround Music For Casual/Laid Back Dinner Parties!

Purchased From Amazon: Service And Delivery Was Quick...THANKS AMAZON!!!

This is my first 3rd Force album, but certainly not my last. You will hear hints of jazz and new age on this CD, both of which are not overplayed or exploited. Guests include Boney James, Brian Hughes [his style is easy to pick out], et al. There are tracks to which you can dance, and others that make you feel like your in a planetarium. Most of the music is tastefully eclectic, and I think I'm dissatisfied with only 1 track on the entire CD. All in all, this is a great one for driving--pick it up!
