Best of the series so far. Buy it!

"One of the best, if not the best, modern electronic bossa inspired compilations out there. If you are a dj, this is a necessity, worth every cent!! Features releases from labels like Compost, Schema (who released this), Mr. Bongo, Ultimate Dilemma, G Stone, and a few more. Includes artists rather well known in the genre (nu jazz, etc) - Truby Trio, Les Gammas, Tosca, Soulstance, Nicola Conte - along side lesser known - Artless, Kanoe and South Copa. If you aren't a dj and wondered what cool groovins they were playing in that lounge/bar somewhere "downtown", then this is the compilation for you. Enjoy it!"
Not up to par with the other volumes

"Schema Records have released a lot of good bossa-dance albums in just a few short years. This isn't one of them. The lesser acclaimed artists serve up songs that are more than a wee bit twee (Soulstance), with a few seemingly aimed to test your nerves (Les Gammas' scattered vocal "La Vie Des Anges"). Even stalwarts Tosca and Nicola Conte offer unremarkable pieces. Thankfully, the acid lounge caper "B & S" by Bobby Hughes Experience dishes out some zest. Truby Trio, sharp rat-a-tat drums to the fore, whip up some energetic dance fare as well. Taken as a whole, however, Break N Bossa 3 lacks that spunk, or tres-cool chic, to match any of the other volumes."

"After the success of the first two volumes, words seem unnecessary to introduce Chapter 3. The compilation contains quite a few unreleased tracks. Some are from the forth coming releases on the Schema label, they include two tracks from Soulstance, "Mutantes" & "Aftermath of Love", their album will be released in October. "Jet Sounds" by Nicola Conte from his forthcoming album in September. Unreleased tracks include Japanese artits Kanoe - "Blind Mice" and contributions from South Copa "Delicado" and Artless "The Chaser"."
