A perfect single

"`Saltwater' was the best trance song of 1999 and is one of the best trance songs of all time. Much has been written about the song and most of you are familiar with it so all I'll say here is that it is a perfect song...it almost brings me to tears each time I hear it. The song has been available for quite a while, but only as an import single and most recently on Chicane's new album. It is finally being released as a domestic single along with two other great songs. Up first is the original version, with vocals by Maire Brennan (from Clannad). Also included is the Tomski vs Disco Citizens Remix. This is a harder, faster mix of the song.`Don't Give Up' (featuring Bryan Adams) was released a few months ago and is included here with two new mixes. The Peter Rauhofer Roxy Anthem has his usual tribal sound but keeps the trance feel of the original. The Johnny Vicious Club Mix has the progressive New York sound Johnny Vicious is known for. Both turn up the energy level from the original.`Chicane's End Of Summer Remix' of `Autumn Tactics' closes the disc. There is also a Thrillseekers remix of this track...keep an eye out for it. There was an import single of this song released not too long ago. This is a mellow, ambient song and this chilled mix fits it perfectly. It starts with a soft Latin sound with the acoustic guitar featured strongly. As the track progresses, it turns more trancey with beautiful vocals.This is a perfect single. It combines the last three import released single by Chicane onto one CD...they don't get any better than this."

Great club/trance tune

"This CD single has 2 mixes of 'Saltwater', 2 of "Don'tGive Up", and 1 of "Autumn Tactics".... The first two tracks were not available in the US previously, and were not on the import single. Marie's voice is impeccable, and the music is vintage Chicane - trance, with a nice beat to it. The Peter Rauhofer (Club 69) and Johnny Vicious mixes of "Don't Give Up" pack more energy than the original Chicane mixes on the single, and are fantastic. "Autumn Tactics" is OK - and that's it. Overall, this is a must buy single."

God Like

"5 tracks on this CD but was bought for "Saltwater". Danced many nights to this tune but never knew the name. Saw the video and looked it up here on Amazon. B I N G O How a person can float with a beat is beyond me. This is pure EURO TRANCE! The vocals will stay with you and the limited breaks will bring you back for more."
