One-Man GarageBand Volume III is the final album I’ve recorded at Bridgend College before I left when I completed my Level 3 Extended Diploma course in Creative Media, and the final album in the OMGB Trilogy. This album I find to be the oddest I’ve done and I don’t really know what to make of it even now. I thought it was better than the second volume in terms of loops and samples that are updated to match the current sound trends of EDM, but there’s something about it that puts me off. I felt it was all over the place in terms of tone and consistency, as well as having a lack of cohesiveness.
Like I mentioned in my Danbient reissue, the first seven months of recording the original version of OMGB3 was a nightmare as I didn’t like anything I was making and the sounds and loops were way too similar with the first two volumes, as well as difficulty handling my personal life and college studies, so I scrapped it and went on to make Danbient, which was a breath of fresh air, not using loops from the software and just create music that I personally want to make. However, in September 2014, while was nearing completion of Danbient, I’ve decided to give it another go to make OMGB3 as the GarageBand software was updated with new loops that at the time I thought it was exciting and sounded more modern than the first two, and also since I started college back in 2011 and my first record is OMGB, I felt it would be fitting to end my time in college with one more OMGB record.
Though I’m conflicted with my feelings towards it, I still think it was best to finish my time at college with this record as I’ve come full circle. Honestly, my favourite track I’ve done during the recording of OMGB3, isn’t even on this album. The track was OMGB-30M, a thirty-minute track that was released as part of the deluxe edition of the album and that track I still view as the highlight of the OMGB3 era and one of my favourite tracks I’ve done. I haven’t felt that way for a GarageBand track I’ve done since Life on the Dancefloor with my debut and it was a great swan song to finish my time in college. This track will not be on this reissue of OMGB3 as I’ll be saving that for the inclusion of my second compilation album. I think it’s better to put it on there instead in the OMGB3 reissue.
Like some of the other albums I’ve reissued over the last couple of weeks, the edited version of the album is also available to listen and download. Three tracks are omitted and a lot of the tracks have been edited/shortened. This album has the most amount of edits than any of the albums I’ve given the editing treatment, as they were parts of tracks that I don’t like at all and parts that are just filler, so listen to the edited version of the album as I personally I think it’s much better than the original. But I’m still going to release the original alongside it in case you like that one over the edited version. Thank you for reading this and I hope you enjoy the OMGB3 reissues.

P.S. – The album was blocked on YouTube a while back because of their Content ID bullshit which resulted with the album not being available for a while, so hopefully, now that I reuploaded it, that doesn’t happen again.
