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)
“Fine art is the subtlest, the most seductive, the most effective instrument of moral propaganda in the world, excepting only the example of personal conduct; and I waive even this exception in favor of the art of the stage, because it works by exhibiting examples of personal conduct made intelligible and moving to crowds of unobservant unreflecting people to whom real life means nothing.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
