Background

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.
