Absolutely. I actually used to prefer Armin's mix, which I had heard before the original many years ago, but as the original grew on me (and Moogwai's essential production style, for that matter), I came to find out what a remarkable gem that was.
That said, the 2005 remixes were actually quite serviceable.

Wow i dont know anyone else who prefers the original i've always felt like an outcast because armin's mix of viola never did anything for me hehe.
Good set, my mate collects oakie records, he managed to get symphonic music with "people want to be needed" for only 100 bucks! Considering only 250 copies of symphonic were made.

So. Fucking. Good.
I remember listening to Resident: 2 Years of Oakenfold at Cream and thinking, "This is the kind of music I've been searching for". It was one of my first edm albums and the time in my life I fell in love with the genre.
Who has heard the EM from '94 which is referred to as Goa Mix Silver? I am so in love with that one too. Such great, thoughtful music.

I'm kind of lukewarm on the Shanghai EM, actually, but the Resident mixes are gold.
My favorite of the Oakenfold World Tour mixes is probably still Gatecrasher, but I'll have to give the batch another listen -- I haven't in a while.
(PS -- What I wouldn't give to hear Gull in a proper superclub)
