While the global dance community has never failed to make a commotion over European groovemeisters Count Basicthe West Coast-based keyboard trio 3rd Force has slowly amassed a catalog of music as rhythm intensive and melodically irresistible as its titles are pun-inflected (Forces of NatureVital Forceetc.). So many of their cuts -- anchored by synth wizard William Aura and enhanced by a host of eager smooth jazz stars like Craig ChaquicoBoney Jamesand Peter White -- have made it onto the airwaves that Higher Octave Music had no trouble gathering 13 well-known tracks to digitally remaster to form the bulk of Collective Force. 3rd Force's productions can be simple and sparseas on "Here Comes the Night," which features a gentle acoustic piano intro and then a subtleseductive groove and dreamy atmosphere behind Peter White's high-toned acoustic melody. Other pieces like "No Doubt" combine hypnotic synth swirlship-hop shuffling groovesand an energetic flugelhorn and trumpet battle off the main melody. The two new tunes perfectly display this dichotomy: "Dance With Me" twines sprinkles of synth-generated tropical vibesGrant Geissman's echoing electric guitarand wah-wah snaps under a jumpy electric piano melody; "Sweet Surrender" finds White playing it cool on a lilting melody over a gently rhythmic flowcombining his nylon strings in certain parts with electronic flute and accordion sounds before he echoes those lines solo. -- Jonathan Widran ~ allmusic.com
