Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

The third installment of this highly groovesome guide to the San Franciscan house sound saunters into your aural space with the watery Western guitar of Juan Trip's "Shadows." Wicked crew co-founder and reggae aficionado DJ Garth is at the helm this time, so it is of little surprise that the slow and stoned groove eventually gives way not to a house stormer but to Rhythm & Sound's "Never Tell You." Garth keeps it diverse with live and loose drums from the highly influential A Guy Called Gerald and Bibi's aptly titled, almost Santana-like "Summer" before finally diving into a liberal selection of faster, deeper, and funkier Bay Area treats. The roster of the record's final third flirt dangerously with some light, jazzy, and not entirely successful numbers; thankfully, Santal's kaleidoscopic "Past and Future Things" waltzes in to save the day. --Bob Michaels

4.0 out of 5 stars West Coast vibes Saturate San Fransico Sessions Vol 3, October 11, 2000

This is classic garth, bottom heavy bass injected with mushroom melting chords. Slow chugging working into a electic house mover. This is a cd for a real house head, who can appreciate dub influences....this will be stuck in my cd player for weeks to come. And this cd actually has a nice chunck of actual san fransico made tracks,compared to it's predessors....No wonder the talk of the town is the House sound of S.F.

5.0 out of 5 stars San Francisco must be a cool town, January 24, 2001

This CD is not exactly like it's two predecesors mixed by Mark Farina and John Howard, respectively. It is funkier, less Mushroom House and more funky house, with a lot of soul!! It is different but no better or worse than the first two San Francisco Sessions CD's, and thus is definately worth having in your collection. At first I was a little hesatant getting into it, but the song "Rise on up and Walk" and the one after that kept it in my CD player long enough to listen to it more and gain apreciation of the rest of the album. This is some excellent west coast house that nearly anyone can and should love!

5.0 out of 5 stars I'd love to hear him live, February 4, 2003

I can only imagine what his fans feel when DJ Garth throws on another vinyl.

I've long been a fan of DJ Garth and owned all the mixes of his I could find. This particular mix is unique to what I've heard from him. Dub heavy has always been a trait of Garth and the ability to throw your mind into a parellel universe is another trait so very few DJ's can pull off without giving it all away to some candy raver record that DJ's often seem to have a producer's gun pointed at their heads to spin(or they are shamfully silly in their track selection).

The Chicago style house and LA style hum-bug that too often leave a semi music concious crowd waiting for an actual soul to be behind the decks are honored to have Garth on thier side.

This mix takes us to some tropical island of great psychedelic, penetrating blackness where we gather with the native tribe for a drum circle that our pineal glands seem to alone play and lay us down revibed and refreshed into our realitys.

Thats as good as I can put it. Thanks again Garth.
