Beachball (song)
"Beachball" is a song by the German production team Nalin & Kane. It was released in June 1997 as a single. The song was number-one for 4 weeks on the Canadian "RPM" Dance Chart and reached number 2 in Spain, number 10 in Germany and number 19 in Switzerland. It also reached the top 40 in Austria, Belgium, Germany, Ireland, Italy and the Netherlands. A Tall Paul remix of the song reached number 7 in Ireland and number 17 in the United Kingdom in October 1998. Critical reception. "Music & Media" wrote about the song: "Bouncing onto the airwaves  comes a summery helping of minimalistic trance. This German production duo have come up with a sparsely arranged and yet remarkably tuneful number. With the proper support—and the proverbial little bit of luck—Messrs Nalin and Kane should be able to emulate the massive chart success they enjoyed in their homeland a couple of months ago. In spite of their length—which undoubtedly renders them less than suitable for mainstream radio play—the selection of remixes on offer is also well worthy of further investigation."
