Customer Reviews:

didnt like trance untill now.......2003-10-21

being 40 some thing i didnt really know what trance was but i liked the hit single dont give up so i thought id take a chance on this cd , it is a 5 star album in every respect and iam hooked to chicane now , the high light of the album is halcyon which is a musical journey which i wished would never end , all in all every home should have one

An album full of "Chicanery".......2001-08-18

The first time I heard about Chicane, was when I was listening to his remix of BT's and Paul van Dyk's "Flaming June". The track was good, but I thought nothing of it really, then listening to a Trance radio station while surfing the net, I heard a masterpiece from "Behind The Sun" called "Halcyon". This song was so wonderful, it prompted me to save up my money and buy the CD.

Knowing nothing of Chicane, even about his hit "Offshore" (I live in a really small town) I really didn't know what to expect from this album. Starting off with beatless ambience for a warm up, it changed to a stellar prelude called "Low Sun", setting you in a type of mellow jungle, this track sets you up for "No Ordinary Morning" which is a great song reflecting on lost love. Both the "Saltwater"s are great, although I prefer to jump right into "Halcyon", "Autumn Tactics", "Don't Give Up" and "Andromeda". Me, having heard the Thrillseeker's mix of "Autumn Tactics" and thinking it was the original, totally unprepared me for this track, starting like an alternative rock song, but then getting to the lyrics, with the great vocals of Justine Suissa. "Overlap" is a nice interlude between "Autumn Tactics" and "Don't Give Up" "Andromeda" is a semi-cool down song, but not really giving you the feeling that the CD has ended. Unfortunately for me, I bought the UK/Canadian release, and did not have the pleasure of hearing the Radio Edit of "Don't Give Up" which is the bonus song for the US release. Even though the original is better and I've heard the Radio Edit, it's always better to have the extra song. I hope Chicane keeps using his Chicanery in his next albums and that he keeps them original.

All in all, the CD was perfect, you know, one of those albums where you actually like ALL of the songs on it. This music was crafted very well with the melodies and countermelodies and so on. Chicane uses his unique Trance/Dance/Pop/Ambience style to its fullest.

it's behind the sun.......2001-03-06

I didn't know Brian Adams could sound so good ("Don't Give Up")!! Maire Brennan is angelic on "Saltwater". And the remix is even more tantillizing. "Autumn Tactics" (vocals by Justine Suissa) is reminiscent of Everything But the Girl. Tracy Ackerman on "No Ordinary Morning" is mesmerizing. I think the album just keeps getting better from first track to the last.

PERFECTION.......2000-07-04

I have just finished reading everyones review of this album, and im amazed at anyone who doesnt like this. This is by far the best trance album i have ever heard. The music is excellent for any occasion. Every song is Beautiful on this CD. My personal favorites are No Ordinary Morning & Halycon. I have all 3 of the chicane realeases and i love them all! But this one is the BEST! Its a must buy for anyone who can appreciate the beauty of music. As far as im concerned CHICANE is the best trance artist ever. and i can't imagin it getting any better then this. Another CD i strongly recommend is Paul Van Dyk - Out There and Back.

I have to admit, I'm impressed.......2000-05-31

I must apologise to anyone who thinks that this isn't 'serious enough' or too 'poppy' but I was pretty impressed with Nick Bracegirdle's effort. By far one of the best tracks in this album is 'Halcyon' and is bound to do something this summer, I rate it definitely above 'Don't give up'; 'Saltwater' is immense and the ambient mix is brilliant for chilling out to. The question is whether this is better than FFTMC...perhaps they should be played at different times of the day?

For some, outfits like producer Nick Bracegirdle's Chicane are not easy to swallow. Isolating the more jubilant properties of trance, the beat is a light bounce, levitating above club-dance brainlessness, sounding like a house music hybrid meant for sparkling sunshine instead of dark and sweaty warehouses. They exist in an idealized, pseudo-enlightened fairy tale filled with bright colors and youthful beauty. But that's not the problem. What rankles purists and picky fans is the audacity with which these "techno" artists go after the unconverted common folk, dragging electronic music out of its druggy, "in-crowd" pretensions. Bracegirdle and contemporaries like Olive, Sneaker Pimps, and BT (the last, most noticeably on his Movement in Still Life) are waging a turf war on the boundaries between techno and pop music, each using different tactics and borrowing from different sources. Chicane throws out an especially cutting salvo in the battle here, and it's a doozy. None other than Bryan Adams lends his raspy tenor to the subtle grooves and euphoric dreaminess of "Don't Give Up." It's one thing for Liam Gallagher to lend his pipes to a Chemical Brothers track, or for BT to tap Tori Amos for the ubiquitous club hit "Blue Skies," but Bryan Adams? Is this heresy? Or an ingenious use of vocal color that yields an incredibly hummable dance anthem? Maybe it's best not to analyze What It All Means. Just sit back and enjoy the summery grooves, trusting these ongoing musical inspirations to become whatever they need to be. --Matthew Cooke

My favorite album of all time! Absolutely perfect!.......2006-10-23

This is the best electronic music album I have EVER heard. This is the stuff that changes peoples perceptions about chillout, house, and trance music. Every person I have ever played this to has bought a copy, and sings the same praises about it. From its beautiful, melodic soundscapes, to crisp and perfect mastering and sound quality, to it's diverse and well thought out track sequencing. Melodic and ethereal downtempo, coastline breaks, beach and sunset inspired house...It's all here, in all it's cinematic brilliance. This is my favorite album of all time from any genre. If you have ever wanted an album you can play all the way through over and over again, this is it.

"Saltwater", here in both club and ambient versions, is the kind of song you NEED to hear before you die. It is the last song I want to hear before I pass, and any music lover or dance music fans should have this album in their life.

Great Buy.......2006-03-19

This album is one of Chicane's best. There is a great diversity of tracks, but the album is a bit short. If you like trance, you'll love this album.

Electronic contemporary classic!.......2006-01-10

If you like easy listening electronic music, Im pretty sure that this albums in now consider as a classic, or a must have, name it as you want to. This albums is great. Melodic, strong beats, nice arrangements, great colaborations (Bryan Adams,Maire Brennan )My favorite song is autumn tactics it's wonderful, it's an album to listen in the beach through the sunset having a daiquiri, you oughta love it.

The only reason I didn't gave it 5 stars it's because I think it should have mixed transitions between tracks.

Not a bad song on the Album.......2005-12-10

This CD is like a buffet there are many delicious sounds on the album and you find yourself going back for more and more. Very Earthy and very open for the moment. The effort in each track is remarkable if your are a person who appreciates the sounds of instruments played with talent and unduplicated style. Something for everyone or something for your many sides.

Great album........2005-08-16

Behind the Sun is a wonderful trance album. Almost every song is worth listening to. No Ordinary Morning is one of the most haunting and beautiful songs you'll ever hear.
