Chicane - Offshore

[ThatAwesomeUsername]

I hate the new youtube

[ejab1968]

Amazing... I love trance music!

[en1gmatica]

@ejab1968 YEAH! this was so awesome back then...

[coturnix19]

This is '97 mix, original is better.

[DJantaresMedia]

timeless... timeless.... timelesss

[danutclejanu]

this track is amazing!

[jayoasis]

one of the best songs ever made (not just dance songs!) I remember sitting with my mates early one morning in Ibiza (I think it was 2000) watching the sun rise trying to decide what was the best dance song ever made. My choice was this and still is to this day. I lost contact with those guys many years back but still this song stays with me and as I get older, it never does.

[ktabanyi]

I was 17 and I was in love with this song..., but still!

[astralislux]

It's hard to believe this is a tune from 96. It still sounds very fresh.

[scragster105]

Let me tell you something. My heart and soul is rock and roll, Metallica, Motorhead, Kiss, AC/DC to name a few. When this particular track came out back in 96/7, I just had to have it. I can honestly say, that the album/cd 'Far From The Maddening Crowds' that spawned this particular track has been one of my best buys ever. I never tire of listening to it, it is a timeless piece of work. Offshore, has memories from the past for me, places and people , but you can never go back there.

[Velimirius]

timeless

[alitarabi]

Les années 90...derrnières années d'innocense.. avant le 11 septembre 2001

[LtSurge659]

The Ambient mix of this tune was the first I ever heard of its type.

From then, I've gotten familiar with Cafe Del Mar mix CDs, The Orb, Talvin Singh, H.U.V.A. Network, and the Fahrenheit Project.

Electronic Music may be considered inferior to what we hear on the radio, due to Pop Culture, but it requires its own set of talents and hard work.

The ability of a song to take me away from the world without the use of drugs is an immense success in its own right. I'll never do drugs so I'm happy

[slopesterlondon]

chop chop bodkin chicken polyp pie

[andreskizzo]

I could never EVER become tired of trance! Best genre of all time!

[pattayawombat]

My journey with music of this genre started with this song in 1998 and still hasn't finished

[daveg0480]

Balcony Tune!!! Ibiza 2011 here we come.......Desy Quinn is fallin down, fallin down fallin down

[daveg0480]

Balcony Tune!!! Ibiza 2011 here we come.......

[arminwerzi]

[spr721gr]

cool....

[ptad445]

You say Ørjan Nilsen,I say Headhunterz

You say Dash Berlin,I say Wildstylez

You say Above & Beyond,I say Noisecontrollers

You say Tiesto,I say Zany

You say Armin Van Buuren,I say Frontliner.

You say Chicane,I say Toneshifterz

95% of teens these days listen to the same formulaic,crappy trance over and over again.If you're one of the 5% who still listens to real music,thumb this up, then copy and paste it to at least 5 videos.Don't let the spirit of Hardstyle die

[DiLamee]

@ptad445 sry, gtfo, wrong video dumbass.

[EarlGreyOfficial]

@ptad445 because hardstyle is completely fresh and has never become formulaic at all.

[ashu888ashu888]

@ptad445 Iagree with u, im a gr8 fan of Chicane and also Mike Old field, love them , they hv made sum truly beautiful and ever lasting music... my other favourites wud be Tubular World - Mike Oldfield, SOngs of Distant Earth - Mike OldField

Hats off to them... :)

[elenarki]

I love this song from the first time I heard it!! It always reminds me of summer...

[spaghtetti100]

great tune...

[BehumanSubsonica]

RULEZ!!!!!!

[LeeJody]

Some people say they prefer the Disco Citizens version, Disco Citizens is just another alias for Chicane. They're both the same man.

[LeeJody]

Just hearing this again transports me to a beautiful beach.

[thompstaff]

@LeeJody Just outside San-An in Ibiza, know it well, been there the last 5 years, and will be there every year til I die :) peace out Bro :)

[xktwnxl4zlx213]

This type of trance is soooo relaxing god!! you dont' need all that bass pumping all the times for good trance music!!

[spinna03]

Yes this is the disco citizens edit. The long version is around 9:25 long. The ambient is just as good too.

[paulrkid]

this and live forever by oasis are the soundtracks to my life

[iELUKi]

this sounds like the vocaless versions of the song offshore ('97) :(

[andreskizzo]

@iELUKi

or in other words, the original version, out in 1996

[iELUKi]

@andreskizzo

Um.... so the vocal version isn't on the original album?????

[LeeJody]

@iELUKi The vocal version was produced and released some time after the album came out.

[equencuoja]

Dit is muziek zonder houdbaarheids datum

[mtcasper]

i often listen to this smoking a big fat one chilling in lanzarote in a place called los hervaderos watching the sun set.

if anyone has been there then they will know this song will never die,,,

long live chicane

casper

[thompstaff]

@mtcasper Nice m8, but the home of this tune is Ibiza, San-Antonio, sunset strip, mambo, del mar, weed and the sunset :)

[TheDerf89]

Praise Chicane! Praise Chicane! Best music producer every!! i Don't think ive ever heard anything so brilliant in all my life! This and salt water!!!, there is nothing else lhat compare's anywhere!!!!

[thompstaff]

@TheDerf89 My favourite song in any version, ambient mix, saltwater, offshore, there will never be a better elecronic song made, IMHO, end of story!! peace bro :)

[snikol85]

@TheDerf89 i would also add ATB...p.s: Chicane-Saltwater is the Greatest trance tune ever made...

[beck72ful]

you tube amazing...re-living classic clubbing songs...back in the day when used to go clubbing friday saturday without fail.........

[MrEliza1982]

JEDNO ŻYCIE JEDEN ŚWIAT I JEDNO CHICANE I TEN KAWAŁEK ON JEST BYŁ I BĘDZIE NIEŚMIERTELNY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[Armin140281]

I LOVE IT !!!

[crohunter24]

who dislikes this?

[Duco1991]

@crohunter24

People with absolute no taste in music, that's for sure

[sicce01]

I just set as a ring tone the loop from 3.05 up to 4.16....

[DjHemmo]

I hear this similar as Disco citizens edit, so I'd vote that this is it :)

Or else my trance compilation cd from year 1996/1997 is listing wrong version..

[steicallum]

One of my favourite tracks it take me BK, OMG, i was just a kid then

[kwhalegirl]

Pure

[anitkatausa]

Offshore 

[peterk5699]

I prefer the ambient mix to this as it's a bit lighter.

[wighet2]

towarzyszka moich ciężkich chwil...

[lostyousomewhere29]

awesome

[AVALONFANINVA]

love it!!

[marcinw82]

My journey with music started with this song. Since then I can`t imagine my world without music. I can`t express what emotions music has builded in my heart. . With this music I`ve traveled big piece of earth. Been in 4 continents, seen 2 oceans, mediteranian see, been in ibiza, mallorca, major part of europe, and i`m just a small boy from poland. Still all places in the world, they`re nothing without music. I hope there is one person in the world that fells the same I do. Greetings

[adt427]

@marcinw82 yep, me!

[LeeJack3939]

@marcinw82 Greetings to you too. I feel exactly the same as you.

[lunairea01]

@marcinw82 it feels good not to be alone

[neilstone1970]

I never tire of listening to this. Best tune of the 90s.

[puthiyatheru]

say no to drugs....go with Jesus!!!..may he forgive all the sinners

[tranceition]

@puthiyatheru don't be ridiculous please...

[eurob12]

luv to be on my own planet ;o)

[neilrogers78]

a beautiful classic one of the best of all time chicane r so talented

[clementtheunissen]

great song but lowbudget clip

[rigaexquisite]

that part 3:07 - omg...wow

[dacawone]

Aural beauty. This band set the bar years ago, and I still measure good trance by the Chicane standard. Thanks for the post!

[stephenpaulbeckett]

One of the best???? Don't think so. It is the best!

[andy124700]

thee most awesome dance tune of all time,this got me into dance in 97 and am still in love now.x

[TigerDover]

Bracegirdle also worked under the aliases Disco Citizens

[brightontash]

Chicane are inspirational...Never get bored of a single track..They are untouchable!

[eurodance97]

Chicane has truly inspiring tunes, nothing like that can been seen today, perhaps only current quality chillout music can remind us of this beauty. Still, an all time classic.

[blakedown21]

Help! Came across a track from Tangerine Dream today, Love on a Real Train. I thought I know that ! Chicane's Offshore.

Who sampled who ? Both absolutely ace.

[transformerszlaja]

That was Tangerine Dream soundtrack for the movie "Risky Bussiness"which was in the middle '80is so Chicane sampled Tangerine Dream,

[kwhalegirl]

@blakedown21

Thanks for mentioning that track, hadn't heard it yet - lovely!

[antoconn]

fucking tune....trance at it,s best !!

[trex0911]

chicane's offshore and sunstroke are the trance bible

[KalEdDJ]

One of the Greatest Trance ever....since the trance explosion of 1997 till nowadays!!

this origiinal instrumental version is far better than recently version of Vocal Mix!!

Nick Bracegirdle best !!

[RFFLASH]

The best

[kutbakkarl]

Chicane takes you far away!

[kmjwakey]

to some very nice place n back first class

[mutedisease]

beautiful tune!!! I usually hate trance but if this is also trance then I guess I´m still a believer.

[robo2000nitro]

How would you hate trance??? Its like the best type of electronic music.

[phokill21]

OMG! ever listened to drum n' bass? ou dubstep? Damn you know nothing...

[see44sand]

nice tune

[Martinofredwall100]

MTV Chill Out ZOne!

[vince684]

I have been listening to trance for more than 15 years and have become tired of the genre. Too much cheesy and generic stuff coming out nowadays...

But tracks like Chicane - Offshore are just magic, they will never get old.

[KalEdDJ]

Absolutely!..... never gets old

[aimeebea]

@vince684 couldn't of put it better myself!

[deewana16]

@vince684 amen i wish the days of the 1990s would come back, i almost resent trance going commercial considering how much the quality has dropped

[steicallum]

@vince684 To right mate, this takes me BK, the shit they play today is fked

[voiceofreason2008]

@vince684 agreed 100%

simple, elegant and gliding in to my brain with the texture of silk

[okorelli]

Like...attempting to find utopia...attempting to fly...

[okorelli]

Oh my god...this is utopia...

[30skuter]

to był kawałek!!!! piękne wspomnienia!!

[rampartmark]

[lonewolfshifter]

[dacoco100]

great song!!!!!!!

[dacoco100]

the old electronic music is the best

[bluenovo]

no other word than different CLASS

[MacPr0xnxx0]

classic

[EngulfedINDarkness]

one of the best from trance! amazing how these old and classics tunes are slowly growing more and more popular. its very hard to find to people who listen to trance but it seems it might be easier in 2010 lol. ^_^

[kawasakigpz750]

@EngulfedINDarkness...Easy enough to find Trance fans...It,s just that it,s easier to find those that can,t stand it!!..Perhaps that,s why the world is the mess that it is ;)

[EngulfedINDarkness]

@kawasakigpz750 haha yh ur ryt! but they probly cnt stand it because of its repetitive beats, usually the build up. i cnt blame them, sometimes i cant stand it myself......... but tunes like these.......... are bautiful from start to finish. TRUE TRANCE. i have to say trance of today or 2009 waz/is dissapointing and extremelyy repetitive!

[kawasakigpz750]

@EngulfedINDarkness...Yeah, some of it but still loads of great stuff coming through!! One or two new producers actually coming through here to share thier music..Have you checked Soundlift recently?

[EngulfedINDarkness]

no but ill b sure to chek, im all open for recommendations....... coz im losing interest recently with music in general. Even though i feel trance is losing its magic there are certain djs and groups that always suprise me with amazing music. like above and beyond and their anjuna beats label. thx for share, ill chek out now!

[rajesh197333]

this tunes suits any mood pure class!!!!!!!!!!!!

[karishmen]

Youll never get bored if chicane...one of the most ever ever green albums of all time :)

[kream7378]

you take the words out of my mouth!!!

[coaonline]

and yes best song i ever heard

[aeonsomnia]

Ooh love this version; the ambient mix is still my favorite, though :)

[wilf2k]

Chhhhooooooooooooooooooonnnnn

[coaonline]

Good make this song and send to best man on the world Nicholas Bracegirdle

[XXXXXXDarioXXXXXX]

[dalkino]

[pitabreadpita]

TOONEGE!!!!!

[dancsg1]

Top track

[skazzz]

I can feel the waves flow! this song brings me back some good memories... 12 years agor past by in a heart beat :(

[Theodore1976]

This track and also Sunstroke (by Chicane as well) are in my opinion not only classic but two of the best songs written. Both capture the summer spirit in their music. Excellent

[bigspagetti]

Amen to that! :)

[STANTHEMANNO1]

The best!

[londoncalling35]

This takes me back, good times, this tune captures a 3 month trip across Asia I made inthe 90s - '97??

[MoonNymph775]

pretty amazing ;)

[tblegand]

welcome to 262 forest rd and the weekly limos after party, whoop whoop circa 1998.... GOOD times,lol..

[SALVIDIEGO]

Wellcome on IBIZA ISLAND ....THE HOUSE OF MUSIC ....and THE HOUSE of D.J' s........

[mutedisease]

I´ve heard this before, but I could swear it was much more recent than 1996. And it does not sound like a classic, it sounds very recent.

[cnutofcnuts]

no, this was from the classic 90's era, you're probably thinking of the shitty remake with the crappy vocals.

[mutedisease]

OK....no need to thumb me down though.

[cnutofcnuts]

i didn't you imbecile.

[mutedisease]

how classy...

[RUBY17ification]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[owengp]

One of the very best!!!!

[CTD16]

This is one of the most perfect song ever written. Makes me get in my car, windows open and drive through the fields and forests on a hot summer day!

[juujoo200]

and I want to ride a bike in the beach boulevard. :)

[Snowdog000]

Drive your car through forests on a hot summer day? Take your bike :O :P

[offshore972]

very profound that few can understand, as I with you my love! Cannella0000

[TheTodd1977]

[molonlave2010]

First heard it on a soundtrack called "Hackers 2"

[irishnproud2008]

ive seen better on a golf course

[kraniumz]

Still think this is Chicane best piece ever. They've gone downhill after this album.

[evilstig2]

3000 stars, never heard anyone do what Chicane has done before or since.

[sszherti]

very cool.

i heard this song at the club ali bey(turkey) Show.

[tenisport22]

Really? I was in that club a year ago :)

[sszherti]

yes.

it was wonderful.

this song come 10 minutes before the show starts.

and in the course of the song they say, that are 10 minutes left until the show. :)

[tenisport22]

lol ... that good, I am glad ... I do not remember hearing this song on the club Ali Bey!! but if he had heard somewhere else! :)

[sszherti]

Club ali bey BELEK.
