Point 3
Point 3 is the collective title of the third and fourth studio albums by British ambient dance band System 7. The first of the two is Point 3 – Fire Album; the second, Point 3 – Water Album. The two offer different mixes of the same material, Fire using more drums and rhythms, while Water is more ambient. Three tracks are unique: "Radiate" and "Overview" appear only on Fire; "Liquid Sky", only on Water.
