Life must be
hard if you're one of the world's most influential DJs. Imagine
having to fly around the world constantly to play gigs in weird
and wonderful places like Bombay and Beijing, Rio de Janeiro and
even Alaska.
Well, it seems
that after a sensational night playing alongside one of the seventh
wonders of the world, the Great Wall of Chine, Oakenfold thought
it was time the monkey strapped on a new pair of shades and cracked
off a fresh mix album.
Two CDs, twenty
tracks, but what's it like? Well, we kick off with Nugen's 'Darksides',
a slow burning trance track, classic Oakenfold territory which gently
enters our earlobes and prepares us for the journey ahead. During
our flight you might find it interesting to note Leama's Dream Mix
of 'Requiem For a Dream', a nice blissed-out tune before we head
for more turbulent Unkle mix of Ian Brown's 'Fear', his own remix
of Layo & Bushwacka's 'Deep South' and the Junkie XL mix of
Infusion 'Legacy'.
The pop mixes
of Madonna's 'Hollywood' and Bjork's 'Pagan Poetry' also get a good
licking into shape although they might leave some fans wondering
just where Oakenfold's musical direction is heading, especially
when it gets to Justin Timberlake's 'Cry Me A River'. Pretty soon
you might be wondering if you should be dancin' or prancin'. Light
refreshments anybody?
