Oakenfold's Albums

Which two are worth buying the most?

- Creamfields
- Ibiza
- Travelling
- Bunkka

Worth it

Haven't heard Ibiza or Bunkka, but I've heard Bunkka is major crap. Travelling is OK I think, specially CD2 which features some good real trance tracks. Creamfields is pretty good too, it was about time Oakenfold released something worthy after all the crap we had been getting from him.

I want to recommend Tranceport if you don't have it already. Paul Oakenfold's BEST WORK BY FAR!!!!!!!!

Best mix cds by Oakie are

- creamfields
- global underground 007
- two years at cream

Do not buy Bunkka, unless you only want a couple of quality tracks. I'd recommend Creamfields and will 2nd Tranceport if you don't already have it. Ibiza is OK, about the same as Great Wall in my opinion.

Creamfields & Great Wall

Great Wall, Swordfish and Travelling, easily his best

Resident - 2 years of Oakenfold at cream is a classic if you can get your hands on that

Tranceport obviously is a must have

after that I would say any of his double disk mix cd's like

Perfecto Presents - Another World
Great Wall
and Creamfields 2004

Tranceport <- classic
A Voyage Into Trance <- when he was into psy

Thanks for answers.

My friend already bought Creamfields and I'm probably going to buy Travelling.

Unfortunately, the store where I'm buying music doesn't have Tranceport... But I'll ask those guys that work there if they can order it. I'm definately interested in buying it.

2 Years @ Cream .. << Best comp ever.

CD 2 of Travelling is a masterpiece. Not only is every track killer in its own right, but they fit so nicely together. Extremely ahead of its time IMO.

Look at the track list:

1. Brancaccio & Aisher - Darker (Reset The Breaks Mix)
2. PMT - Gyromancer (False Prophet Mix)
3. Azzido Da Bass - Dooms Night (Timo Maas Remix)
4. Lyric - Over Emotion
5. Utah Saints - Lost Vagueness (Oliver Lieb Vocal Remix)
6. Mekka - Diamondback
7. Jan Johnston - Flesh (Tiesto Remix)
8. Blackwatch - Northsky
9. Goldenscan - Sunrise (DJ Tiesto Remix)
10. Delerium - Silence (DJ Tiesto In Search Of Sunrise Remix)
11. Element Four - Big Brother

My only perk is that Dooms Night comes a little soon...

It is definately not the best, and gets a lot of bad press. But there are some good songs on here, it is not total shite.

It's worth it for Hold Your Hand and Nixon's Spirit, these songs are class.

Zoo York has nice elements at the beginning, but doesn't live up to my initial expectation. And though somewhat overplayed, Southern Sun is still a nice song as is Hypnotised and Motion.

Even the Ice Cube track (Get Em Up) was decent, though quite out of place IMO on this album.

There were a couple of shit songs though I admit.

However, if you are looking for 1 CD to buy I would go with Travelling or Great Wall.

Posted by Gauss on Dec-30-2004 14:08:

Alright, thanks for answers once again.

Maybe I'll buy Travelling today.

From your list, I would choose Ibiza and Creamfields. Ibiza is such an underrated mix album...very energetic and powerful. Creamfields is his best mix in a long time, bringing back Oakenfold's old trance sound for which he got hailed in the past.

I was very disappointed with Great Wall. Had some great tunes but it has no real vibe and it never gets you going. And Bunkka... well...it's a very poor effort by Oakie.

However, if I had 2 cds to choose from him, I would advice GU 007 New York and Perfecto pres. Another World.
