Oakenfold re-releases the Goa Mix... and adds Astrix and Infected Mushroom?

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.

Looks like a relatively decent introduction to goa/psy, but some puzzling decisions in the tracklist. Not exactly sure what Inner City Life has to do with goa, and I thought Becoming Insane had already been beaten to death, and doesn't really seem to fit with the rest of the tracks.

And, erm... have you actually heard the Goa Mix before? Inner City life has always been the opening of the second half.

Whoops, sorry about the repost. I haven't ever heard it, unfortunately. It's been one of those mixes that I've wanted to hear because of the hype, but just never got around to it.
