"To my mind, this is the best work that LTJ Bukem has released and probably will ever release. I remember when I was first introduced to this album back in 1996. Little did I know how much of a profound effect that Mixmag volume 3 would have had on me. Back then, I was still relatively new to the genre of drum & bass and I have to say that this album spoiled me in the worst way possible. Since listening, I have used this album as my benchmark for what quality drum & bass should sound like and I am sorry to say that not many such songs/albums/compilations have come near to this high standard that LTJ Bukem has set. Mixmag volume 3 is much more than a simple compilation as it possesses the ability to either calm you down and centre you if you want to study, or it can hype you up and make you rather excited before heading to a club. It takes you on a sweet and peaceful aurally imaginative journey no matter how many times you listen to it. The selection of the songs based mainly on deep rolling basslines, complex beat patterns and a melodic twist make this album irresistable and among the best put together I have seen in a while. Pure electro-percussive ear candy at many beats per minute. Never have I come across music that can serve a dual purpose at the whim of your deciding how you want it to make you feel. To any discerning conoceur of drum & bass and to anyone starting to discover the genre, this album is for you as it represents one of the greatest achievements from one of the most influential players in the industry. An excellent work of art."

"I'm diggin' the "Hawaii Five-O" intro. This album introduced me to the smooth sounds of Drum N Bass. I've bought 5 copies of this album. This was before I had a CD burner to make back-up copies of my music, but thats how much I like it. Ever since this mixed CD I have keeped up with all of the LTJ Bukem projects. If you don't know, know you know!!!"

Great mix but the amazon tracklist is all wrong
