I preferred Oakenfold's CD over Fatboy Slim's. Obviously, no one is going to like all the songs on a CD, but after a while some of the songs I originally didn't like grew on me.
You can't call yourself a fan of trance and not hear this. Soothing but with a lot of energy. The Oakenfold disc of this set is the epitome of trance.Certainly Oakenfold's finest trance CD, with Tranceport in second place. The track transitions are seemless [like in Tranceport], so you can just put the CD in and go into, for lack of a better word, a trance.
So definitely don't go for the new, but choose the cheaper used Oakenfield way more melodic. Fatboy just makes a lot of rhythmic noise. Very bad for your heart if you'd ask me.
the last 4 songs on the cd are truly incredible 5/5 stars with nothing wrong there, and the first like 6 songs are probly 3-4/5. Of course there are a few boring and too long songs on here, but when you listen all through, it really is worth owning. it's progressive and has a different vibe than any of his other cds.
and how most techno is all dated and there is always something wrong with mixes, and true to this also, but it's still good music, Fatboy's mix is really housey ( kindof in a Fast paced 1-2 min song Housy kinda way, not like a digweed house way ) Fatboy does tear it up though, his cd is really up beat and great for driving to, although it does leave the listener wanting more,, maybe something deeper. Now it's almost 2005 and i've heard tons of different mixes, and when i went back and heard his cd it really amazed me. Yes yes you've heard it all about Oakenfold being a sell out and everything from A to Z.
the song selection stuck in my head and i couldn't forget the tune of the songs. sure you can call him what you want but this cd is good. oh yea there is an Oakenfold cd to.
I really didn't think to much of oakie's mix for a couple of years.
Truely one of his better. All I have to say is, if you have the extra money to drop on these CDs, buy it for Fatboy Slim's Disc. Boy, do I love this. Fatboy Slim tears it up on his CD, Oakenfold continues to put me to sleep.
