Originally posted by Thriller At first listen i thought this CD was kinda crappy but after listening to it for a couple days and driving to it, it's not bad (To me this is more of a CD you listen while in your car). I mean it's not a real artist CD like Involver or Emotional Technology nor is it a Creamfields or Another World, it's just The Club. I think the mixture of songs is a way to musically reflect the clubs style, yah it's more trance/ EDM than anything but it's just music when you strip it of all of the names associated with it. Psycho is a great intro song for the CD, the only song I totally don't agree with being on this cd would be Southern Sun, I mean it's right after Rock Your Body and the way it's faded in really low doesn't do the CD justice .

this album is like Involver is anything else...its not a true mixed cd, and not a true artist album...re-edits, and remixes....exactly what Involver was

You're waaaaay off man...

This CD should be considered more like a soundtrack of a night out at a club. Some parts are mixed, some are just fade out/fade in, some come to a complete stop and then a song starts. It's a collection of tunes, more than a mixed cd or artist album.

That said, the overall impression I get from CD is very poor. The Perfecto All Starz tracks are very good, but most of Oakenfold's remixes are very poor. Also, including tracks like Beautiful Day, Ressurection and Southern Sun is lazy and lacking of innovation.

Yo! Haters, this is for you.

What's PPK doing on here? Just listen to it a few more times then maybe you'll realize why. What's Oakenfold's stated goal again? To reach a larger audience? What about all those annoying pop song remixes on there? So how does it all fit together? Why isn't it like Tranceport? Hahah...WTF Blah blah blah You're stuck on permanent noob status. Is all your infinite wisdom making you millions a year? Do me a favor and confine yourselves to your homes. Don't come outside anymore. You just don't get it.

Oakey did it again!! he's the man

don't know what happened to this guy since Bunkka... what about the innovative sound like the essential mix world tour '99? For me the best mixes in the history of dance music... He's the man showed me for what TRANCE stands. But i really don't know what to do with a compilation like this one here. Please tell me

I destroyed it...

that sums it up perfectly, but then again if he didnt include those poppy sucky mixes no-one of the target people would buy this...

dude Oakie is not the only one profiting from this you know. The label gets a nice share of the load also. And i think they would rather see this getting sold alot then not, hence the poppy tracklist
