Volume 3: Further in Time, the third album from Afro Celt Sound System, came out on Real World in June 2001, and this time the African half of the name gets its full due. James McNally admitted the band felt the West African side of Volume 2: Release hadn't been as strong as it might have been, so N'Faly Kouyaté, a newcomer on that record, moves front and center here, bringing far more than the others had expected.
The collective Simon Emmerson started in 1995 has always welded Gaelic tradition and West African music to electronic beats, and with Stephen Hague producing, the grooves pulse like a club track while the old melodies swirl on top. "When You're Falling" is the big pop moment, and its video, directed by Adam Berg, brought in Peter Gabriel, whose label has been the band's home. A limited edition sold only through Borders added a bonus disc.
