"Well Dave has done it again! His other therapy sessions were a little different from this one, he did a best hits of 2006 and some new stuff instead of all new stuff. His CD is very good and has some hard hitting songs! LExicon Avenue surprised me! They are awesome and probably have the best CD out of all the guest DJ's on the therapy sessions! IF you have never bought any of the therapy sessions this is one you can't go without!"

My First Impressions of The Therapy Sessions Series

"Dave Seaman has skyrocketed towards one of my favorite DJ's out there with this Global Underground release GU012: Buenos Aires. That double-disc set is so freaking flawless that it, without a doubt in my mind, rivals Sasha's following Ibiza GU release, and the subsequent John Digweed release, GU014: Hong Kong. That being said, however, this album (on the part of Dave Seaman) was a (partial) disapointment.



Where did he expect to take us with disc 1 (his mix)? Over bubbly and generally flat beats, the variation is just *not there*. Disc 1 seems to be purely audio [...] on Dave's part, and in my opinion is only suitable for driving unwanted guests from a house party (be sure to give your real friends a head's up that the second disc is on its way though! They will be sure to stay.) Listening to that album is like willingly taking the SAT's for fun.



I say this because Lexicon Avenue's following mix CD is one of the best I have heard in a LONG, long time. I just picked up some albums from much more revered artists and I can't stop returning to this relatively new group's offering. Turn up the subwoofers and let the intense ride begin. They mix the album well, the track selection is fantastic, the pace is consistent and varies in all the correct places. Most of all, I find it comforting to find that not only those 'world-famous' DJ's or groups are capable of producing discs which I return to on a habitual basis. Lexicon Avenue is definitely a group whose solo releases I will be diving into without hesitation from here on out. They outdid themselves with their disc 2.



Locate a friend with the album who feels oppositely and buy the Lex disc off him. Although, I will admit, for eighteen bucks I would purchase the double-disc volume just for the second disc, as it could have been a solo release for Lexicon Avenue.



I can't give this album any higher than three stars because of disc 1; if I had to split the rating I've given for the CD as a whole amongst its two halves, however, I'd give Seaman half a star and Lexicon Avenue the rest, hands down.

"I did like Therapy Sessions Volume 3. However, in a way, it relates to John Digweed's Fabric release. With Dave's disc, he sticks to candy sounding electronic, like the track that Habersham did and I really like the 3rd track. He tries something different than he usually does too, with some other good tracks. Overall 3/5.



Disc 2 has a lot more house in it. Just like their Nite Life release and their famous track "Dusk Before Dawn", they do a brilliant job. I won't go into all the detail, but I give disc 2 5/5.



Dave has yet to beat the Master(s). Dave rides the bandwagon, but still does an all right job. I still like his other stuff though.



Overall, a good effort for both partners live from Audio Therapy!!!
