Oakie got me into this music... The first time I heard Tranceport I was hooked. In the past few years, he's disappointed me..
Aug. 19 2004- Amnsesia, Ibiza- Oakie, Tiesto, then PVD.. I was so psyched to see Tiesto and PVD. Oakie started, and Tiesto was supposed to come on at 1:00- well, it turned out Tiesto had an ear infection, so Oakie spun in his place. I was disappointed at first, but Oakenfold rocked the place. He was so good!! Everyone in the club responded very well to him and he spun a great set. Once again I'm appreciative of him and what he's done (and is still doing) for the music!

Picked this up to today, banging CD, it is mixed, but not like beatmatched, the beginnign the ends of the songs go into the next ones.

This track: Natasha Bedingfield "If You're Gonna" (Paul Oakenfold Remix), fucking AMAZING. :P

Good stuff, I liked the CD alot.

The cd is now available @juno:

The cd is okay, many styles on it, specially for non-tranceaddicts (who want it to be ) a good choice.

i went to the CD release party for this @ club ice 5 days ago, and realized that this is nothing more that just a bunch of tracks thrown together to promote "the club" witch im sure most of u know what that is but if u dont its the reality tv series on spike. im not even sure its mixed. its gonna be total crap. i love oakie but it think he sold out on this shit.

Gabriel and Dresden just did the same thing last summer!

THey did the soundtrack for Nip and Tuck, a tv show.

I was listeing to a set by oakey, and he said he wanted to take djing in a new direction, make it bigger than ever. THe intervier asked, "what to big crowds, stadiums?"

Oakenfold: no, bigger!

I guess this is what he had in mind, the TV, totally new direction. The man has done so much, anything he is gonna do, im gonna suport him, cause im sure people were against him in the past.

GO on oakey! impress me some more! i can take it

I wish I could agree man, but it's so sad that he has become another pop-dance casualty. Tranceport is one of the most amazing CD's ive ever heard, then I got Great Wall, WTF? Creamfields? WTF?, Downhill since Bunkka, end of story.

just got this yesterday... have heard it three times already, i like it... some of the songs towards the beginning of the cd are so so but i really love the u2 track (same as creamfields...just longer) and the new jan johnston track and the one right after hers.

I thought Great Wall was pretty good. Infusion - Legacy, Blackwatch and Quivver - Loveless, etc.
How's LA Woman sound? I read the tracklist and was suprised to see the doors on there.

What u talkin about? Great Wall WTF? Are you crazy?
Creamfields WTF? This is one of the biggest suprise for year 2004 imo. One of my favourite compilations of all time!

Posted by MekkaFIN on Feb-03-2005 13:45:

Yeah, Great Wall & Creamfields rox!

Natasha Bedingfield - If You're Gonna (Paul Oakenfold Remix)

pwnage

I really like the LA Woman remix, it seems fairly simple but its catchy for a Doors fan like me. It does seem odd to have PPK - Ressurection mixed with all these newer tunes and most of which are oakenfold/perfecto tracks, but I still like the track and I always whistle along with the synth line (hehe). The Beautiful Day remix is pretty nice too. All in all, its nothing like Tranceport or Oakenfold's other trance compilations, but I would label it a nice "club" mix type cd.

Posted by 303 on Feb-04-2005 11:29:

im scared. only by looking at the tracklist makes me close my eyes and think happy thoughts.

Posted by keithos27 on Feb-04-2005 14:22:

Does "Deadly Avenger - Artisan" sample the same track as "Orkidea - Unity"?

Posted by R.j. on Feb-04-2005 21:32:

i agree that PPK - Resurection is out of place....

At first listen i thought this CD was kinda crappy but after listening to it for a couple days and driving to it, it's not bad (To me this is more of a CD you listen while in your car). I mean it's not a real artist CD like Involver or Emotional Technology nor is it a Creamfields or Another World, it's just The Club. I think the mixture of songs is a way to musically reflect the clubs style, yah it's more trance/ EDM than anything but it's just music when you strip it of all of the names associated with it. Psycho is a great intro song for the CD, the only song I totally don't agree with being on this cd would be Southern Sun, I mean it's right after Rock Your Body and the way it's faded in really low doesn't do the CD justice .

this album is like Involver is anything else...its not a true mixed cd, and not a true artist album...re-edits, and remixes....exactly what Involver was

You're waaaaay off man...

This CD should be considered more like a soundtrack of a night out at a club. Some parts are mixed, some are just fade out/fade in, some come to a complete stop and then a song starts. It's a collection of tunes, more than a mixed cd or artist album.

That said, the overall impression I get from CD is very poor. The Perfecto All Starz tracks are very good, but most of Oakenfold's remixes are very poor. Also, including tracks like Beautiful Day, Ressurection and Southern Sun is lazy and lacking of innovation.

He's the reason why trance DJs over 40 should retire.
