Va: Paul Oakenfold Goa Mix 2011 : 2CD - 1st November
| quote: |
| Paul Oakenfold returns with a double CD release based on his 1994 award winning, The Goa Mix. Hailed as one of the world�s leading DJ / remixers by some of the most respected media titles including CNN, BBC, Rolling Stone, BPM, Remix and more. Whether it�s producing countless film scores including music for Collateral, The Matrix Reloaded and Die Another Day or remixing for artists such as Madonna, Rolling Stones and Michael Jackson, Oakenfold is one of the most versatile and busiest forces in the music scene today. Paul�s landmark The Goa Mix was originally broadcast on Radio 1 as an Essential Mix in 1994 and was voted The Best Essential Mix Ever by Radio 1 listeners, also winning a Silver award at the Sony Radio Awards. Available for the first time as an official album release, the mix has never been legally released as a CD or download due to past music licensing issues. The Goa Mix is more than a mix album and could be described as a soundtrack or soundscape to the mid-90�s trance / psy-trance scene, a sound pioneered by dj�s such as Sven Vath. Featuring an uplifting mix of classic dance music from across genres blended seamlessly with emotional film score music from Bladerunner (Vangelis) and Dracula (Killar), The Goa Mix is a legendary piece of dance music history. The Goa Mix 2011 has been totally re-crafted and re-recorded for an album release and is spread across two discs. Stand out tracks include Goldie pres. Metalheadz � Inner City Life, Marmion � Schoneberg, Grace � Skin On Skin, Li Kwan � Point Zero, The Infinity Project � Stimuli, Man With No Name � Sugar Rush, Disco Evangelists � De Niro, Salt Tank � Eugina and Vangelis� stunning Bladerunner Main Titles. The Goa Mix 2011 also includes extra tracks Oakenfold felt were missing from or could add to the original mix including Infected Mushroom � Becoming Insane, PPK � Resurrection, Barber � Adagio For Strings and an exclusive new Paul Oakenfold track, Mia. |
What the fuck is going on?
First interesting thing Oakey has done in years... the '94 EM is the stuff of legend.
This could be good yea....?
would have been better without the whoring of more perfecto tracks (i.e. leave the original TLing in place) but it's better than nothing!
love the write up.. tracks paul thought were missing... lol

What the fuck? Infected Mushroom and Astrix?
Nice way to fuck up classic memories.
Wait, what?
So, it's basically a retrospective take on his '94 mix, rather than a re-recorded issuing of the exact same set?
Southern fucking sun does not go in the Goa Mix.
What is this shit?
Great business move but yeah, it'll probably be worthless.

Wait...

Too bad. 
Anyway even if some of the tracks on here are sorta out of place it does go to reinforce my theory that you could recycle dance music from 20 years ago and it'd sound and sell better than the horrible horrible HORRIBLE shit that is made today.
Really, you fucking suck if you still listen to new trance. Seriously.
Whats with you guys complaining about fucking everything, every fucking time... at least there is things happening...

| Originally posted by Subtle Not really, but you seem to eat everything critically, me being probably the biggest Oakenfold fan on this board.. him doing anything is good news to me.. though that doesnt mean its all good. But you and the other usual suspects always go in looking for something to criticize and point fingers at.. anything NEW happening in the scene that is.. |
