"A track with a difference this one, mostly due to the fact that it is sung in a mix of Hindi and another foreign tongue by Melissa Baten. We had all but finished the track which was originally sung in English, and just on a whim, decided to see how it would sound sung the other way.
The feel and meter of the new vocal delivered such a new angle it stayed that way and rather glad about it as adds a new dimension to the sound." (Nicholas Bracegirdle on Locking Down, 2008)
This album was never officially released due to the fact that the fans disliked it. There was an unofficial version spreading over the net few weeks before its release.
The record company pulled it because they claimed it wextensively bootlegged from some pre-release versions they themselves issued.
Trust me, Chicane fans will love it, if they ever allow it out. "Easy To Assemble" is widely available from unofficial sources. It's brillinat, just like all his other stuff, so I can't understand just why it has been on hold for 4 years.
The version I downloaded had a female singer whose voice sounded too electronic. Anyone know where to download a version of Locking Down that sounds like the girl in this video. I know Itunes does not even have the album.
so sweet like the breeze in the summer

Instrumentally the album is genius, but lyrically it's sort of lacking/repetitive. Probably why he sticks to instrumental stuff and other languages.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Chicane and this song. If he'd ever get his ass over to SOMEWHERE in eastern North America I'd be there.
Somersault is significantly better in the lyric department too I'd say, but FFTMC and Behind the Sun are what he'll be remembered for. Rightfully so.

Audio track is special, the lyrics translate to something odd I think. I paused @ 56 seconds, you can see the vocalist & Nick.
