Chicane delivered ‘Behind The Sun’ 25 years ago; revisit this iconic album today

Music has an amazing way of becoming part of the cultural fabric, speaking through generations as fans continue to discover new artists. 25 years ago, Chicane delivered a massive collection of songs via Xtravaganza Recordings, providing just such a jolt to the trance community.

After the turn of the century, rising stars such as Armin van Buuren and Tiësto helped lead the charge for the growing influence of trance, but its roots and foundation had been laid well before then. One of the many pillars of the growing scene was Chicane and his brilliant 2000 record Behind The Sun. Originally released on March 27th, 2000, the British producer expertly cataloged his sound and experiences while connecting with audiences worldwide. Upon its initial release, Behind The Sun cracked the top 20 in the UK, New Zealand, and Australia, creating a powerful legacy for himself while celebrating the beauty of trance.

In 2013, Chicane and Behind The Sun received another push, as Armada Music released a deluxe version of the album, which reached the number 33 spot on the UK charts. Littered with classic tracks such as Saltwater, Autumn Tactics, and Don’t Give Up, its music and melodies continue to sound fresh and engaging even 25 years later. Although the trance scene has evolved through the years, it’s thanks to artists like Chicane that others were able to build upon such strong foundations within the genre further. Revisit the classic album Behind The Sun today and celebrate 25 years of this timeless masterpiece.
