Regardless of what he's doing currently, the guy still deserves respect for all he's done during his career.

Well the fact that he finally got popular via Trance was a bit of a suprise to me, but hey, everyone has to break out somehow eh? I really enjoyed him back in his straight production days, his work with Massive Attack was top notch. Although he's trying to return to his roots (more production than spinning), he definitely stumbled a bit on Bunka. A few of the tracks were superb, but a few were awful...and with his popularity being through the roof, people focused on what they prefer to focus on, the bad.

I hope Great Wall is good personally, because I love Oakey, he's the reason I listen to trance now. But I certainly won't Love it/Hate it just because he's Paul Oakenfold. He may be a legend, but the music must move me.

As far as cocaine goes....imagine if you had the money and the selection of women he does....you'd do plenty of Coke too...deal with it.

Originally posted by McDowell Well Ibiza, was the last album of I bought of his....I am really looking forward to hearing Great Wall. I must say, he has made a few good productions in the last years, but his sets have turned me off. Oakie is what got me into trance, I think he went through some experimental stage, and now he is getting back into mainstream trance.

Yeah I think Oakie is coming back from the experimental stage too

Good luck Oakie

Well I think Oakey just maybe going through a down phase in life.. I mean who doesnt go.. lot of us are also bored and sick of our usual routine.. but the point is Oakey is still good.. and definitely not the time to retire... he should just keep playin... and in any case his state side sets are good..
Give him time... he'll be back rocking!!!!

IMO there aint as much quality trance being produced, or the style of trance that oaky plays.

In 98/99 there were so many quality trance tunes around and now there isnt.

Oaky is a legend, not as good as hes used to be but still always worth going to see. Im just gutted i never got to see one of his legendary cream sets

naw...i think he still got it..mixing wise...went to see him twice..and both times are really good

go lick on eddie's nutts then

Originally posted by shauny Paul Oakenfold in my opinion used to be one of the best trance djs in the world (circa 1998) But the sets I have heard from him over the last two years have been SHOCKING! No mixing at all and when I saw him at Homelands he was utterly un-interested in what was going on. He simply turned up to get his money. I think its about time that he retired - if you don't have a passion for it, you shouldn't be doing it. Oakenfold - your time is up! Anyone else agree/disagree?

totally agree, he is horrible now. (pop star).

well i saw oakey at Hollywood Bowl. Ya It was awsome, i loved it. And yes everyone there was for Oakey no one else. Packed as hell & everyone was dancing. hehe
