Easy to Assemble is an unreleased studio album by British electronic music artist Chicane. The album would have been the third studio album in his main discography and the proper follow-up to 2000's Behind the Sun.
In 2002, Bracegirdle signed to WEA and had finished his third album, which was all set to be released in 2003. However, when review copies were sent out, the record label WEA was bought out by Edgar Bronfman Jr of Warner Music Group resulted in the A&R manager and music director who signed him leaving the company, and its release was put on hold while Bracegirdle negotiated an exit from his contract,[1] and as soon as he extracted himself from his contract, he prepared to release the album independently. The entire album was later leaked online on several peer-to-peer sites and was pirated to such an extent that it was felt that it was not worth releasing it officially,[2] which resulted in the commercial release of the album being cancelled.
