Chicane - Saltwater [1999]

[Turbo tim 88]

Absolute belter

 

[Gijs]

Hell yeah. That melody and vocal will never not be beautiful.

Amazing one! However there's no posting this tune, without also posting the two mixes by The Thrillseekers. Both of them are great in each their own way.

 

[J. Dorian]

Oh yes! The original version is a masterpiece. This song never gets old.

 

[erickUO]

Bumping this masterpiece

 

[SecondNature]

Timeless.

The first Trance CD I listened to was Ibiza Euphoria, mixed by Matt Darey and this was the first song from CD2. I was in middle school and I instantly knew I was hooked to trance.

 

[Progrez]

The original vocal samples came from this song.


RIP Noel. Clannad - Theme from Harry's Game

(one of) the song(s) that got me in to trance and made me into a lifelong Chicane fan.

How many of the iconic classics we know are all using samples at the core of their hooks or allure. Its a shame today that this kind of thing cannot happen, with all the protection and ownership. Even a small sampling off a base or drum could cost you thousands today, which is the case for my friends when trying to release tracks on Ninja tunes. Makes you wonder if the copyright acts do more harm than good ultimately, or if they should be rethought to some extent.

This is the version I heard first before I heard the original. So lovely I wonder why did he name it House Mix?

Guys! This forum has come on! Excellent management

This is kind of stuff I would love to hear and make. So dreamy and euphoric it and you can feel that it breathes new life into you listening to this I avoid listening to the remastered versions because they butcher it. This version is the best version of Saltwater period. Kay Stone - Alone was able to recapture that feeling especially the breakdown with the breakbeat section.

The original is in my top 3 of all time,and probably always will be. A big shout out for Thrillseekers Ambient version - one of the best Chill out remixes ever for me,what a job he did on it.

I like this remix:


but the original is best.

One of the best tracks ever produced. The intro makes me think of Gladiator. Yes agreed, this is very dreamy and very ethereal. Not a lot of tracks have this ethereal. Makes me feel like I'm in another dimension

A nice memory of this track. Johan Gielen used to do long solo sets on the beach some years ago. He asked for suggestions to play and i requested this track. It was a beautiful sunny and warm evening (in April!) and he played this. A truly epic moment.

 

[TRANCEBLASTER]

I excitedly played this track for my friends who were listening to 'Hip-Hop' at the time, they asked me to turn it off after a while and wanted to know since when I had gotten into church music.)

 

[Dyon]

My number 1 trance track ever! Still hits hard

Rest in peace, Moya Brennan.
