Behind the Sun [Import]

Chicane's 'Behind The Sun' playing over the headphones will carry you away to that serendipitous place where everything is beautiful. I'm talking about that sort of moment you can live in forever--a deep, contented warmth in the depth of your being. You know, that state of mind that is rarer and rarer in this hectic world--that place where the doors to all your cares magically close for a time.

This album has it all. Tracks with soaring, mellow synths; soft vocals, energised light beats that hover over the dancefloor, and yes even Bryan Adams. This isn't an album that you have to listen to over and over to finally 'get'. There are not layers upon layers of sounds and exquisite mixing that get better and better with age. It's a light aural delight from the moment you pop it into the CD player.

Although there are undoubtedly masterpieces out there that are definitive of all things electronica that are indeed on a deeper, more intellectual level with astounding mixing and track sequencing, Chicane's 'Behind The Sun' will both energise and move you to tears within the space of an hour. It's a musical journey you don't want to miss.

To be sure, electronica is a genre in which you mature and learn to appreciate deeper forms of the music over time, but this is relaxation or dance music pure and simple. Highly recommended for those new to the trance genre or those sceptics wanting to give it a whirl.

Some kind of a cross between Dance & New Age with a great attitude.

The Critics say this & that about this CD......I am not really a Trance fan, but this CD works really well, with the beats used.

Dance, Spiritual, Meditation??? Does that really work together?
YES IT DOES!

For me I hear the music style of Flock of Seagulls, Enigma, Tangerine Dream & Enya...but again, you can do some serious clubbing with a few of the tunes as well.

I am very please with this CD..... I beleive you shall be too!
