The v3.0 iteration strips away the bloat of previous versions. Version 1.0 was raw; Version 2.0 was experimental. But Small Complex -v3.0- -DonTaco- is matured. It represents a producer who has finally figured out how to take the chaos of a cramped bedroom studio (the "small complex") and translate it into digital gold.
