'''''Volume 3: Further in Time''''' is the third studio album from [[Afro Celt Sound System]], released on 19 June 2001 through [[Real World Records|Real World]].<ref name="bbacssfeaturep12"/>

==Background==
The album features N'Faly Kouyate in a more prominent role as a main contributor, a deliberate choice, as James McNally explained: "We felt the last album's African element wasn't as strong as it could have been. N'Faly had become a new member, and that was his first album. This time, he's much closer to the way we work and brought much more to the table than we could have ever imagined."<ref name="bbacssfeaturep109"/>

==Release==
A video clip for the official single "When You're Falling" with an appearance of Peter Gabriel was directed by [[Adam Berg (director)|Adam Berg]] and released in July 2001.<ref name="bbacssfeaturep109"/> The single contains a dance-oriented remix by Adam Wren of [[Leftfield]] and [[Dom Morley]]. After the single had received worldwide attention, the song "Life Begin Again" was made available as promotional single in 2002.<ref name="bblifepromo">{{cite magazine |last=Taylor |first=Chuck |date=19 January 2002 |title=Afrocelt Sound System featuring Robert Plant: Life Begins Again |magazine=[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]] |location=New York |publisher=VNU Business Publications |volume=114 |issue=3 |page=25 |issn=0006-2510 |oclc=4086332}}</ref>
