Far from the Maddening Crowds is the debut studio album by British electronic dance music act Chicane, released in October 20, 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 October 18, 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.
