Paul Oakenfold - Global Underground: Live In Oslo

SkeletonMan, Feb 06, 2006

This album holds quite a nostalgic value to me. It was one of my first ventures into the club/trance music scene, and initiated a brief Oakenfold period in my life. Well, he was the closest I knew to what I really liked, and on this album he includes Astral Projection's Ionized as the mayheem dance party closer on disc 2. Say hello to a timeless classic that's lightning up over everything else here. I mean, who really remember Olive's You're not alone and what's it doing in a dj-set? Oakenfold's mainstream reputation hasn't come around for nothing ;o)

Yeah, other than AP and perhaps a few others, I'm afraid these cds doesn't do much for me. Sure, there is decent clubby house, jungle en galore and moody music in the mix, but somehow it fades in grey. Some stand-out trax (on disc 1: Bedrock, Discodroids. Disc 2: Bedrock again, Cruzeman, AP, Eve, Joking Sphinx) lights up, but not enough to make me like this mix. Even if the last 4 tracks on disc 2 roll along pretty ok ...

So, the only question now remaining for me is this: why didn't I pick right up on AP after being introduced to them here ... ?
