Who would have thought that Volume 3 would arrive so quickly? We are proud to present the legend that is Chris Coco for this release. He has delivered possibly the most Balearic sounding frozen album yet! Chris has also supplied sleevenotes in which he asks Why is chillout called chillout, when its the softest duvet of a music youve ever cuddled up under?

The prospect of acid house veteran and renowned chill-master Chris Coco putting together the latest volume in platipus Big Freeze series is a succulent one and he doesnt disappoint. Hes certainly had enough practice, spinning around the globe while following musical projects starting with Coco Steel and Lovebomb and most recently his City Reverb band project. Here he presents a bevy of happening artists on CD1, including Booka Shade, Quiet Village, the mighty Hercules and Love Affair, Aeroplane (whose space-boogie Caramellas can only be dedicated to my pet rabbit), dubbed-out Todd Terje and Lexxs mix of Smith and Mudds Shulme, a gentle canter laced with guitars. Prins Thomas remix of the Figurines The Air We Breathe recalls nothing so much as Pet Sounds-era Brian Wilson, which gives an idea of the orbit Chris is prone to take.

Kicking off with City Reverbs vibrant Pinsharp, CD2 sticks with the new while also casting its net further back, artists including Loco Dice, Speck Mountain, Lulu Rouge, Au Revoir Simone, Notwist and Allez Allezs classic African Queen. A fine set: the proverbial journey which can be undertaken both jiggling or levitating to the ceiling like the cartoon dog whos just been at the biscuit tin.
