View this Thread in Original format

I dont know if this is true or not, but is Oakie comin out with a new CD sometime soon? cuz this is what I heard from my boss who is a VIP @ the Guverment in TO and was talking to Oakie and Nelly Furtado one night

Apparently Nelly is doing some vocals for Pauls next CD. Does anybody know if this is true or not? Cuz I do like her voice..just not her songs. So whats up with this?

I heard the same thing from a friend of mine who work at a club on South Beach.... i didnt hear about nelly doing the vocals, but that sounds like it would be a pretty good mix!

Hi TA's,

the sad thing about it is that paul oakenfold is a sucky producer.
His name is very well know here in the states so put his name on any cd and guess what, the people go to the cd store and BUY it. It's as simple as that. Listen to his remix of planet rock, it's weak. That tune has been remixed a thousand times over and he comes up with this wack ass lame ass cheap as remix that can only fool the general public.

I mean, give nelly furtado's vocals to ferry corsten, tandu, pvd, or even the poppy side of mauro picotto, then we're in business.

acutally you are right. I LOVED tranceport..but thats the only oakie cd i can even stand. and i love it!

I have to say in ,oakies defence, i still really like the music he makes and plays. I loved the remix of muse - new born.

Sometimes he is a bit cheesy, but most are, he is just huge now.

But i hope his form does pick up soon, it is a little laking

here we have DjVersus, yet ANOTHER oakie hater... jeez, take a number, would ya? I happen to be one of oakie's last few fans on earth (as it would appear), but i'm sure its for better reasons than the ones you dislike him for...

Anyhow, i have to disagree with you on poor producing... judging by one remix of a song doesn't count as being a e producer. Now, if greater than 50% of his self-produced songs were crap, then I would have to agree. But as far as remixes and producing... everyone has a bad day. I'd love to hear someone say that Tiesto and PvD have NEVER made a crappy remix or song... and i'd laugh in their face! Plus you're talking about the song "Planet Rock", which is one of the worst songs ever made in the first place..... Oakie has turntables and computer editing software, not a magic wand! I do feel that Oakie should have steered clear of remixing that song in the first place, but I believe he had to do it for the movie...

It is true that Oakie hasn't produced that many songs..... so what? I think people just need someone to bitch about, and oakie fits the bill perfectly because he's "appeared on MTV".... give me a break!

i dont think oakie is a good producer but he can spin really well.... ive enver seen him but ive heard some of his live sets and they arent bad at all. but rumors has it that his playlists are never-changeing lol. so who knows? :P but give him credit.. he did get famous for a reason. he was a pioneer of trance music... u ask many of the well known DJs today and surely Oakie is def on the most influential list.. i think Tiesto even may have said that...

as for nelly doing the vocals for oakie......HUH!? :eyes: EWWWW! i like nelly furtado but her voice can get quite whiney.... i love the junior Vasquez rmx of Fly Like a Bird.. but cant deny that her voice is a bit overly whiny.... it aint to soft on the ears... id rather oakie stick w/ jan johnston if and when he does a collaboration w/ a female vocalist.., just my personal opinion though! ;)

Way to go, ABT.....nice one!
patticus
yes, nice one abt

lets start a "oakie awareness thread"
were we do not take sides, but discover thru ourselves and each other what oakie's been up to... then we can make our own judgements

e.g. i had no clue what he's been spinning for the past 6 months, i just go on what other people say (or bitch)
