Review of CD:
"Resident serves as a retrospective album featuring many of the trance anthems Oakenfold made famous during his two-year residency at the British club Cream. Featuring recorded crowd reactions, this double album often feels as if one is actually listening to Oakenfold perform one of his many legendary sets at the club. The crowd reactions provide the sort of communal feel one gets a club but usually doesn't hear on other DJ mix albums, such as those on the Global Underground label. Many of the 24 trance and progressive house tracks featured on Resident are remarkable works, such as Tilt and Paul Van Dyk's "Rendezvous" and Matt Darey's mix of Agnelli + Nelson's "El Nino." Unfortunately, many of these same tracks can be found on Oakenfold's other albums from the late '90s. Even so, Resident diffuses the compressed intensity of Tranceport and brings continuity to the jagged flow of Global Underground 002: New York. The first set focuses more on progressive house tracks with vocals, while the second set features many of the best hands-in-the-air anthems of this particular era. "
Not live.
There you go, hoss.
