Behind the Sun

Product Information

Behind The Sun is available as a limited edition of 1500 individually numbered copies on translucent yellow coloured vinyl, housed in a gatefold sleeve. Labelled as being the King of Trance, Chicane had successfully married what we now take as normal; the collaboration and guest vocal. Indeed, taking it a step further and incorporating known, ‘found’ pieces into compositions. Something Brian Eno had started some years earlier.

a b Spencer, Neil (2000) "This Week's Essential Releases: Chicane – Behind the Sun", The Observer, 26 March 2000So, what is my verdict? Does Behind the Sun still hold shape at age 20? Yes. The depth of the songs themselves, as well as the interconnective quality of the album, upholds my theory that Behind the Sun is truly one of the best, if not the best, trance album ever recorded. There’s not much to say about Overlap. It’s a simple instrumental that builds upon itself with repetitive sounds. Overlap isn’t boring mind you, in fact, it’s very interesting. But not too interesting. In fact, Overlap gives your mind and emotions a rest. Overlap serves as a bit of a chill pill if you will. All in all, Overture and Low Sun work well together. Without words, we see the picture both songs paint. Grade: B/B+
