Far from the Maddening Crowds is the debut studio album by British electronic dance music act Chicane, released in 1997. It is highly regarded as a seminal release in the trance community, and was highly sought after, having been deleted for licensing issues, until re-release in 2007. The album appeared on the UK Albums Chart for one week, reaching number forty-nine.
"Offshore", the earliest song produced and released, is also among the best-known of Chicane's songs; aside from single sales and being a major dance club hit, resulting on its inclusion on what has been said to be over 130 compilation albums, it has also been featured in the UK on TV programs ranging from travel reviews to the BBC's Gardener's World and Grandstand.

Famous quotes containing the words far from and/or crowds:
“Far far from gusty waves, these children’s faces.
Like rootless weeds the torn hair round their paleness.”
—Stephen Spender (1909–1995)
“Along the iron veins that traverse the frame of our country, beat and flow the fiery pulses of its exertion, hotter and faster every hour. All vitality is concentrated through those throbbing arteries into the central cities; the country is passed over like a green sea by narrow bridges, and we are thrown back in continually closer crowds on the city gates.”
—John Ruskin (1819–1900)
