4 3 Chairs 'Dreamz'

Although they had been releasing compilations of solo tracks as 3 Chairs for a few years prior, 'Three Chairs 3' marked their first full length work as a proper group. Not only that, but it marked the addition of an at the time little-known producer by the name of Marcellus Pittman.

Rather than have him play a small role, Marcellus makes himself known across the whole album. Rightfully so - this is 3 Chairs at their best, and it's the low-key pads and lush layers of synth that we've now come to know as Marcellus' signature that really make the album shine.

Among all these beautiful songs, somehow it's the disgustingly raw 'Dreamz' that we always seem to go back to. The last thing we would have expected to be paired with such a thundering bassline is the lullaby-esque melody that floats through the track, but somehow it all makes sense.

'3 Chairs Theme' and 'All Over' are other highlights off the LP that could have just as easily made the list, but just listen to the whole thing to avoid any FOMO.
