Seriously we've got a lot to thank Oakie for, we wouldn't have such a good variety of Uplifting and Epic Trance if it wasn't for the input he put in around 1996 onwards which helped in some aspects make trance what it is today, I'm not saying he did it himself single handed, but believe me the bloke has done a lot.
He has had a shite two years nothing special has happened, some can say he has progressed with America and stuff, if you read through magazines from about 2000 ministry mag and so on there used to be a little monthly article by him and stuff like that, and it was when america was enjoying more dance music and it said they prefer more darker stuff, maybe that made him lose his spark, and if the older Oakies coming back then great as tu_face said he used to be able to do it, thats the reason why he was highly rated by people he could play blinding sets, last NEC his EM wasn't to bad fair enough he mad some mistakes but set had some energy, and if a lot of you listen to his sets they tend to flow slowly, he didn't have me jumping for joy when I saw him at GCSSS, but I will always recognise what he's done for Trance as a whole. But saying all this he's like Whiskey in a way or Cigars its a required taste.
Oh and keep on the hate Propaganda for JJ and Dave 'fat wanker' Pearce, its better to focus your efforts on the real criminals like the ones who play Ian Van Dahl records on sundays for little kids.
