I remember a story about Oakenfold playing at his Heaven nightclub in 1989, he turned all the lights out and played Tchaikovsky's 1812 overture in its entirety.
He has yet to do anything remarkable or interesting since (except for a mildly interesting goa mix in 94).

heard this on another world. great cd, except the inclusion of stupid spoken snippets, like "are you going to see oakenfold?!!" layed over a breakdown etc.

This was the song that convinced me to buy the mix, actually. Heard it on one of those barcode-reading sampling stations at a Barnes and Noble after having heard Tranceport several years before and trying to find more electronic music.
Personally I actually love the spoken snippets. The combination of them and the ambient score pieces work extremely well with Oakenfold's otherwise mediocre mixing abilities to give a great picture.

From the goa mix, by far my favorite thing he ever did outside of forming perfecto, an old classic:
