Wait is Chicane a band? Is not it a nickname of Nick? I'm syill listening this track quite often!
Saltwater - amazing song ❤
Legendary track, we still love it just as much since the day it released ❤️💎
For me talking about Classic track this is the one for sure and great feeling to planing it for ppl that dont know about that music ganre is priceless they all love it !
Same
💯
Lüg 😂doch nicht
Totally, the original sound is simply original, no need to update it
The early 2000’s were some awesome times for trance music and the club scene. So many memories.
It's was the best, we must be happy to have experienced this extraordinary period ✨
Saltwater is still my answer when people ask me what my favorite trance track through all time is!
I remember as a teen in the 90s, this song was so beautiful it almost brought tears to my eyes.
Nick is an absolute legend. As Chicane he is an absolute choonmeister. I’m almost 50 and can still recall the 1st time I heard Salt Water at BCM nightclub in Mallorca. I was living and working in Cala D’Or. We’d head to Magaluf at the weekend with party prescriptions and the hairs on my neck went up so hard my scalp was almost lifted off my nut the 1st night I heard this. Good times 😍
I’m 41 mate. Young people today will never know the feeling of hearing these tracks in a club for the first time!
@@AirPowered Young people today will know the feeling of hearing new tracks for the first time in a club instead. A lot of the older generation won’t…swings & roundabouts my friend.
P.s
Am 41 myself. 😂
"party prescriptions" :D great term
Ahhhh I remember BCM haha
100% remember hearing this in the temple theatre in Dublin when Seb Fontaine dropped it and we were in the midst of Mitsubishi heaven me and 2 mates. He dropped it at the end to close and we took our t shirts off and threw them over the balcony - absolutely still get hairs on my neck and head standing up when I hear this tune. Amazing memories of that night. Plus it was middle of winter and me and the lads realised after about 10mins we had no T-shirts on to go home in. Had to put jackets on and walk home 😂
Tell him not to touch It ever.its incredibile the way he did it the first time.with the wooly mic.We love It likes It Is.
This will be my farewell song when I die. This never gets old not like me. Everytime I hear this tune it give me goosebumps and inner fuzzy feelings.
Same here. I was 17 when I heard this song for the first time and I’m 38 now and it still gives me the chills.
@@Luciiffeerr saltwater thrillseekers remix just so mesmerizing
Mine too!!! We're going out with a banger my friend!!
yeah, same, ive already told loved ones this has to be played. Will still be 50 odd years hopefully, but sure this it.
SAME !!!!!!
I am so honoured to have been in my early 20’s in the late 90’s early 2000’s to have been a clubber in the UK when these types of tracks were released. I especially loved the Northern Exposure releases by Sasha & Digweed😎
Amen
hell ya. the first Northern Exposure is a classic! ever try meditating through the whole set? holy sh*t I've tripped a zillion times on it in 2001! it made me realize two master DJs can weave seemingly independent creations (ie. tracks) into a cohesive transformational story like a book! completely life changing 🤯
Raincry is one of my favourites :)
Same here, but in the Netherlands - great times, great music!
I was in my mid 20s at the beginning of the 90's when the race and Techno scene came to the Nordic countries and as I lived near Denmark, we often went across the sea to Copenhagen Hagen and even to MayDay in Berlin. Epic stuff and some incredible music. Saltwater is one of my favourite music.
I must have heard this song 1000+ times. Still gives me goosebumps.
He's a legend
Im a reggae, hip hop genre for life. Not much dance music im into except for THIS ONE RIGHT HERE. I was mesmerized by the arrangement, the sounds and amazing vibe like im on Holiday and then i watched the music video and that was it, my favorite house, techno music of all time "Salt Water" . Was in my 20's back in 1999.
Just how f*cking good it still sounds after 20 years or so, that means they made amazing work back then. This track never gets old! Bringing together ravers of generations 🎵❤️
I have loved this track since i was a teen and i still listen to it now at 34 yrs old.
Saltwater is an absolutely breathtaking masterpiece. The first time I heard it was on ASOT 300. Menno de Jong played The Thrillseekers remix. Such sorrow; such hope. The hairs on my arms stand on end just thinking about it.
Still as fresh today as when it was back then! Timeless classic!!!
The track that got me into dance music when I was about 12. 36 now and I still love it just as much as I did back then. A masterpiece.
Saltwater is the embodiment of trance music. It is everything a good trance track should be - punchy (but not hard) bass, catchy (but not too fast) tune, ethereal vocals that say something (but don't intrude) - all packaged in grade A sound engineering.
What a totally lovely guy, decsribing his way up to fame, No pompessity necessary, just genuine bloke, makes a nice change
I’m a DnB head but this is absolute pleasure. Takes me way back 🥰
Absolute classic, brilliant tune that gets better as the song progresses and never outstays its' duration of 10 minutes. The final 2 minutes still never fails to give me goosebumps with THAT arpeggio coming in at 8:35. Wicked business by one of my favourite all-time artists. For those that are not aware, NIck does a weekly hour-long show/podcast dropping on Fridays called "Sun:Sets" where he selects a bunch of music past and present - mainly melodioc electronica - to showcase.
Never knew this thanks for the info and for anyone who wants to know, here's the link to Chicane's TH-cam channel with some of the podcasts youtube.com/@modenarecords?si=A8bFUkIrUUqm3uNi
Classic trance will never die!!! Chicane / Nick is a legend!!!
this song was my introduction to trance in 1999 along with greece 2000 and atb. oooh, i had one album, played it like 1000 times. a day. playing it still
Same here .... 💖
This is one of the songs that will never be forgotten. I can imagine it's being played thousands of years from now. Everything about it is so beautiful and perfect.
Both Saltwater and Offshore are absolute legends. Still getting goosebumps when hearing this. It's one of these timeless tracksthat bring you back to a certain time in your life when you first heard this song. BAM. Instantly back there, the smells, the location, it all comes rushing back to you.
Trance forever ❤️
Chicane is the music scene legend, thanks for video
one of THE best tracks ever made in the history of trance music...love from Bangalore, India
One of the most beautiful Trance Anthems I have ever heard in my life !!!!
When i firstly heard this song in a Tiesto liveset, I literally cant believe how can this kind of perfect masterpiece exists in the universe. I remember rewinded the audio countless times to listen Saltwater again and again. It was incredible. I never forget that feeling. I was about 17 at that time. I surely can say, Saltwater is the best trance song i ever heard in my life. And later on, after 20+ years, it still makes the same impact on me.
True 💯 %
A lot of people think of masterpieces as being Beethoven or Mozart. I think of Saltwater.
This is one of the BEST Trance anthems ever.
Nick captured and laced the sound of Ibiza perfectly. So much beauty and melancholy
I'm so gutted that Ibiza isn't like that anymore.
Chicane....the man, the myth, THE LEGEND!!
Wow I still play this today
All time fav.
Still a legendary song. 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
It's one of the best ever! Beautiful 😍
Listening to Saltwater back in the day I knew that it was something totally unique - Nick undersells how epic this thing was. (and his own genius)
Love hearing the back story about a song I have loved and listened to most days over the last 20 years ! 🥰🥰
When parents use to say music was better in their days I know understand what they ment nothing compares to this nowadays
This is on my favourite list of trance/house music. Every time I do my trip to the Nürburgring this song is on my playlist. I couldn't be happier cruising my modified 90s car to the Ring and blasting some trance classics through the speakers, do some laps on track and listening to trance classics some more. Saltwater is so deeply connected to most of my good memories. I even remember admiring the video on TMF in the late 90s.
This gives me goosebumps every time.... timeless and iconic... 💙💙💙
One of the greatest songs ever made. Thankyou Chicane.
I've never been into the club scene, wasn't much into electronic music at all back in this time, but a guy at work introduced me to this album. The job (and my life) was super intense and stressful at that time, but this album was like auditory anxiety medicine. It really helped to take the edge off those days, and will always hold a special place in my heart.
Best Trance Track Ever!!!
Some of the most brilliant tracks I STILL ABSOLUTELY LOVE TODAY are from the 'Behind The Sun' and 'Far From the Madenning Crowd' are 'Saltwater', 'No Ordinary Morning', Low Sun', 'From Blue To Green', 'Red Skies', and my top fave from those two albums 'Leaving Town' WHAT A TRACK! 👌👍
😎🇬🇧
It will forever be one of the best electronic songs of all time. Chicane, true Legend! 🔥🔥🔥
Absolute legendary song
One of the best tracks ever!
This song brings me to the good old days. Yup, when life was better.
Back in 1999 I listened to "Saltwater" for the first time and was MINDBLOWN! Suffice to say, Chicane made sure I was hooked and to this day - it's still my FAV go-to "feel good tune!"
Timeless classic. One of the best trance songs ever made.
Still stands the test of time to this day.
One of the best Trance songs ever made! ❤️
This song changed my life. First time hearing it I was 16 driving back home from work at 11:30pm. A college radio station opened one of their DJ sets with it and it absolutely blew my mind. I knew about dance music from rhythm video games like DDR, but I had never heard it structured in that way before. The video games got me curious about writing music, but after hearing Saltwater I knew I NEEDED to be doing this.
finest piece of music ever written imo ❤️
Also love the song Don't give up with Bryan Adams.
Had this song playing on loop visiting driving around Ireland visiting family in Ireland from the US…such a fitting track and great memories.
Best song ever, unique to listen early morning at the beach ❤️
This track is already a classic! Thank you so much for great music! 😀😀
Glad you enjoy it!
In year 2000 I was working in Amsterdam. A guy on the work site asked what my fave trance tune was, I said, Chicane-Saltwater. 23 years later, it’s still my favourite trance track!!
One of my all time favorites!!
Why has this only got 23k views ? this guy is a legend and is so funny to boot !
It's 2023 and it's still a banger!!!
No words just tears!
Never gets old! Nick, you are a musical genius and your timeless music still inspires struggling producers today! Thank You!
I have special place for Nick & for this song
This can never be forgotten ...
My fave dance tune EVER !
I played The Shit out of this Track amd still Listen to this. Such a classic Tune
Ibiza, 1999 and this track dropping always sends shivers
A seminal tune from my happiest nights out always, and I got to see you in Dubai and it BLEW me away. Bucket list stuff, thank you so much.
just one word Legend
One of my favourite dance music tracks ever !
One of the best edm tracks of all time. Masterpiece. The bit about the half-drowned Previa for the video is priceless. Made the track a literal successor to Offshore for at least one sad little van. Rust in peace poor prevvy
Evidently it was no ordinary morning :)
@@deejay8ch They must all have suffered from Sunstroke, Early on or during The Drive Home at least!
Please don't call it EDM. There was no such thing as EDM when electronic music was good.
Saltwater it's a classic tune, Iwas 17 when Saltwater was palayin everywhere, in all good clubs and partys. That was a excellent time👌👌👌🤜🤛👍
Fuckin all time classic...only tune I would introduce non- trance lovers to.Listening to this forever.
eternal masterpiece
The early Chicane and Disco Citizens stuff I simply never tire of. Far From the Maddening Crowds is probably one of my favourite albums of all time, if not THE favourite.. Nick's music has been such a big part of my life. What a total legend.
This was the "highlight" track I played at my first dj gig outside the UK, a club in Germany called the media hall, and my God it went off, thank you chicane
simply breathtaking, those vocals are so pure and the instrumental so futuristic.
For me , it's the epitome of the whole trance genre halcyon days, it's epic. Euphoric, and It never dates.
It will be played at my wake. 🤗❤
My favourite trance track of all time classic I remember showing my mates back in the day good times
Best trance song ever made
The tune resonates through my life and every time it is played memories of the 90's best years of my life.
Chicane put together the magic of the haunting vocals and uplifting music.
That track is the essence of the late 90s Ibiza. Probably the best period in the island's history.
Massive part of my life Chicane- many thanks 👏👏
One of the best tracks from the peak mainstream trance years. The song invokes reminiscent feelings, not years later, but at the time when it was brand new.
This song and the album Behind the Sun were genre-defining. When we heard this stuff back in the day it really changed things.
legendary track.
This song still one of my favorites ever. And it has a special place in my heart for bringing so many good memories ❤😊
My favorite song of all time. There’s freedom, nostalgia and combines heavenly atmosphere and lush vocals with pulsing peaks. Definitely one of the best trance songs I’ve heard!
So happy and lucky that i was there when techno and trance was born early 90`s en 2000 :) So many happy and respecting people dancing and having fun! Just absolute fun !
Still get chills when listening to this track, just like the first time!
May honestly be the GOAT of trance songs.
Without a doubt in my mind. Very underrated.
Beautiful track, we still very much enjoy today! 🙂
For me the best trance track of all time.
godfather of trance
I would like to thank Chicane also. My favourite trance track ever. Was listening it for hours again and again
One of the best tracks ever created. Thank you !!!! 🙏💙
Oh yeah!
A Classic and a good back story!
😂
One Track for Life ❤️
