This collection is an ideal introduction to ambient music, with a very wide range of styles included. There are one or two duff tracks but generally speaking all the tracks are very enjoyable, some very slow tempoed and relaxing, others a bit more dancy, there's even an excellent dub track included. Don't get this confused with all the naff ibiza ambient stuff that's being churned out, this cd pre-dates all that nonsense and is genuine ambient music. don't bother with the other "Brief History of Ambient" collections unless you are a reall hardcore fan, I bought them after this one expecting more of the same and they are simply nowhere near as good. If you are curious about ambient but don't know what to get, this is a great start but you won't find any moby or cafe del mar etc., this is old school ambient.

People who are getting into ambient music for the first time will enjoy this, the third double-CD collection in the History of Ambient series. It is a soothingly perfect balance of acoustic and electronic, and really shows off just how good ambient music can sound.
The album takes music from across the ages. Older artists such as Brian Eno, Harold Budd and Sylvian are all on here, but so are the more electronic pioneers who changed the style of ambient just a bit to make their music unique. Example of these artists are bands like William Orbit, Quine/Maher and The Future Sound of London. It is this combination of the older, more traditional acts and the more electronic experimental artists that make this compilation such a joy to listen to, as the tracks seem to perfectly blend together.
There is just one problem with this album. It almost feels like a stop-point for the creators of the History of Ambient series. Ambient 1 and 2 were both unique and really showed off their own unique tastes of ambient music, whereas Ambient 3 feels like its more of an all-rounder. This is fine for those wishing to hear ambient for the first time, but it feels a bit odd for those who wish to enjoy the collection as a whole. However, that's just nick-picking. This compilation is perfect for new listeners and long-time ambient lovers alike. I would also recommend the other double-CD collections in this series. Why? They're all so good!
You never know. If you liked this one, you may like all of them...

I bought this in my teens in a second hand shop in Norwich. I was just curious about ambient music at the time and this one hit the spot. I didnt know anyone else who was into ambient at school so I felt like i was discovering something new - and thats what the music on this album evokes, something as yet undiscovered!
Some really nice tracks to listen to, if you are after atmosphere and a sense of another place. I could single out some tracks but to be honest they are almost all interesting.
I bought the second in the series which i didnt enjoy nearly as much, being more dancey and aggressive in my view.
But also for me there is an important factor in what makes me enjoy music, and that is when and where I discovered it. This cd came at the right time and maybe thats why i like it so much.
