Environments 3 is the third in The Future Sound of London's "Environments" series of albums, released on 7 June 2010. Unlike previous FSOLDigital releases, the album was not made available as a download several months before the CD release. Because of this, the record was heard several weeks in advance due to early shipping from the website Juno.[1] The record sleeve announced a fourth album in the series.[2]
Continuing from the previous volumes in the series, Environments 3 begins in a neoclassical, ambient vein, but instead of the epic sound of Environments 2, takes the music in a darker, more insular direction, reflecting the sounds of the band's 1996 album Dead Cities, from which elements of some tracks are derived. However, the album remains somber and ambient for the most part.[3]
