"Far From The Maddening Crowds" is the debut album by Chicane, the pseudonym of electronic musician Nick Bracegirdle. It is highly regarded as a seminal release in the trance community, and is highly sought after.

After licencing issues resulted in the album being deleted for a period of five years, the album became hightly sought after. However, it was re-released on the 22nd October 2007 with all the tracks from the original version, plus a new mix, "Offshore 2007", which is a remix of the original track "Offshore '97".

"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,cite web | author = | year = | url = http://www.offitsface.com/c-bio-chicane.html | title = Chicane | format = | work = | publisher = Offitsface.com | accessdate = 2006-12-05 | accessyear = ] it has also been featured in the UK on TV programs ranging from travel reviews to the BBC's "Gardener's World" and "Grandstand".cite web | author = | month = March | year = 2000 | url = http://www.chicane.cc/dotmusic.html | title = Chicane - Sound of the Sunset | format = | work = | publisher = Dotmusic (retrieved from Chicane.cc) | accessdate = 2006-12-05 | accessyear = ]
