I dont like what he plays in the club nowadays, but Great Wall is one of the best progressive albums from the last years...
great track selection and amazing mixing skills... like oakie used to have.
And Creamfields is good only for disc 1, disc 2 is unnecessary.
Auranaut - People want to be needed fits better in Magik 7...

He's gone back into the studio, you know what that means, sitting on his arse coked out while Andy Grey and Steve Osbourne do all the work. I dunno what he is doing in studio, I'm praying not 05 remix of bullet in the gun but you know its coming eventually. Gotta still love oakenfold tho, he may be an overpaid, overhyped, sob now but he was still what got some of us into EDM, I know I am one. You can hate oakenfold all you want but his level from 1997-2000 will never be matched....
i feel ya', but he still needs out of this business before he craps himself on a plane and jumps out

Great Wall and Creamfields weren't bad at all. I think his name being attached to those compilations is a good thing, because people in the general public who have heard of him will be given a good introduction to trance and progressive.
His livesets, on the other hand, have been horrible. He played Traffic at Ultra 7 as his second or third track, alogn with some uplifting fluff like Daydream, which was enough to make me flee the amphitheater soon after.

I just hope that Oaky does something about his hair.
Last time I saw him I thought he was wearing a wig.
