Third Force
After the success of Third Force's debut album, Force of Nature has followed rapidly in its footsteps. "For those of you who like a little more zip and zing in your instrumental music, here's an album that you may want to sample. These are cuts that caress all your senses, bringing you cool, jazzy melodies; blazing, bright tropical colours; a hint of spice on the air; and make you want to spin and sway. Yet there is a soothing quality here also. The cuts say 'Hey, lay down that weight that you're carrying and take some time out.' After a few minutes of listening, Force of Nature will have you feeling like you're walking along a sunny, sandy beach, or reclining in a hammock under the pine boughs." - The New Times.
