Twenty (Chicane album)

Twenty is a compilation album by British electronic dance music act Chicane, released on 29 July 2016 through Modena Records[1][2] The album is in two parts; the first half being a remix album, and the second being a greatest hits compilation.[3] However another greatest hits album, The Best of Chicane: 1996–2008, has been previously released.[4] Exclusive songs are featured on the album, including its single "Carry Me Home" (with Steve Edwards), a rework of the song of the same name by gospel house group Gloworm.[5] The album's title refers to Chicane's twentieth anniversary in the music industry.[6]

Background edit

As with his previous greatest hits album, "No Ordinary Morning", "Don't Give Up" and "Saltwater" are re-recordings, as the original recordings were still owned by Xtravaganza and were unable to be licensed for this compilation due to a dispute between Chicane and the label's boss Alex Gold, dated back to 2002. Chicane's previous recordings which had been distributed by Edel Records in 1996/1997 are featured in their original form as Xtravaganza lost the rights to them.
