Perfecto Presents...The Club

Amazon.com
The latest disc from dance music's most well-known DJ goes for the mass-appeal jugular, offering a collection of main-room beats and remixes. Melding tracks from artists like U2, The Doors, and Justin Timberlake with his own work (credited here as "Perfecto Allstarz"), Oakenfold tries to replicate the sound of a specific type of Club, the kind that caters to beginners, where every third track is something everyone knows. It's a safe tactic for a man who has long since given up the mantle of a truly progressive artist in favor of a more ambassador/recruiter-type role. He's not lagging that far behind, though; there are touches of electro around the edges here, especially in "LA Woman" (though electro isn't exactly cutting-edge anymore to be sure). And while it would have been nice to hear a more radical reworking of "Rock Your Body," Oakenfold's choice to keep Timberlake's heavily airbrushed vocal intact gives the song an almost surreal smoothness. The unabashed populism of this mix prevents it from having any staying power, but it's immediate impact, while brief, should only further expand Oakenfold's empire. –Matthew Cooke

Positively Hypnotic!.......2007-04-06

This was my very first electronic cd. I picked it up at the local record store on impulse, and didn't expect much. At first listen, it seemed somewhat pretentious, indulgent, artsy... This was my idea of trance music in general at the time. In fact, I bought this album as a challenge to myself: I wanted to give every style of music a fair chance.

After my 30 second scan of each track, I left it alone until one fateful night. My friend Ricky pulled out some nifty little toys called glowsticks! He told me he had been learning how to make interesting light shows out of them, but the only "techno" music he had was a horrible mix tape featuring the likes of alice deejay, t-99, and other outdated rave-monkey acts. I shuddered at every track's rediculous synths and over-enhanced basslines. So he noticed my copy of "Another World" sitting in my cd tower, and suggested we try it.

I was overwhelmed at the difference it made to play this album on Ricky's 6,000-dollar home stereo. I was simply blown away at the darkly hypnotic, and playfully dreamy sounds that were coming out of the speakers. I picked up the glowsticks for my first time and I created something beautiful out of this mix.

And now, 6 years later, I still keep coming back to this mix whenever I need to unwind. Seriously, almost EVERY SINGLE TRACK here is on my list of favorites. However, the two that really stand out to me the most are North Sky and Tears in the Rain. I still whistle the melody of the Vangelis song to my baby nephew as a lullaby, and he loves it.

Summing it all up: These are some of the most intense, uplifting, and soulful pieces of music I have ever experienced. If you have a patient ear, and an active mind... You will enjoy this mix.

Quintessential Oakenfold........2006-09-03

Another World is one of my three favorite Oakenfold releases (Tranceport and Creamfields are the other two) and it's easy to hear why it's so popular among trancers. It has a seamless progression that takes you on a journey of mind-altering consciousness. It allows you to escape to another world. This is Oakenfold at his best.

Enjoy it while you can, however, because Oakenfold is slipping into oblivion under the toxic blanket of fast-buck economics. His demise, I'm sad to say, will rival that of Whitney "Bolivia" Houston.

OAKENFOLD WITH THE WORLD'S BEST TRANCE CD EVER MADE !!!!.......2006-05-21

In this time I will really high recomend something on my life. If you like trance...progressive...vocal...tecno...anything...you should buy this CD...not just only becasue it was choose as the best compilation CD of the century...not because was sold more than 1,000 copies world wide...but because is really...really...good stuff...I high high recomende this CD as the best trance compilation ever that you will listen.

Fantastic.......2006-04-25

This is my favorite Oakenfold release. It is so original in it's music selection. Awesome driving music.

My absolute favorite Oakenfold CD of all time.......2006-02-19

If you are an Oakenfold fan, you MUST purchase Perfecto Presents Another World. This by far the best compilation he has done and is one of my absolute favorite CDs of all time. Every Oakenfold or even techno/dance/electronica fan should own it!

The transition of songs could not be better. The selection of pieces is fantastic, right down to Delerium and the end of the second CD. If you have never bought anythgin by Paul Oakenfold before, this is the one to start off with - you will not be disappointed. This is how I got hooked on his collections - which I now own 11 of! :-)

True Oakenfold Fans of Old Should Like This.......2007-05-30

If the type of sets that Paul Oakenfold used to mix at the turn of the century still appeal to your auditory senses then this may be an album for you. Travelling is a two disc set loaded with tracks that are very reminiscent of Oakenfold's glory years. Expertly mixed and true to his preference for trance. Both discs have a very similar sound throughout although disc 1 has a little more of a darker undertone while disc 2 has a few more clubbers' anthems.

Disc 1 gets 3.5/5 stars and disc 2 gets 3/5 stars.

Descent CD.......2004-09-22

I really enjoy this album although i do agree about the whole thing that this doesnt have a lot of songs that are on his other albums. but sometimes you just don't really care when you hear that good of songs. After a while you do start to think, come on oakenfold, get more creative please, but not in a bunnka kinda way.( not that i dont like bunnka) i definately think this is a good oakenfold set to have. some tracks are boring , some are simply soul grabbing. which i think that is how most of oakies music really is. cheers

A Solid, Yet Uninspired, Mix.......2004-04-15

After listening to "Another World," I was looking forward to giving "Travelling" a go. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed. Don't get me wrong, the mixes are great. The problem is that it's basically "Another World 2.0." A good majority of the tunes in this mix already appear in "Another World," so if you've heard the aforementioned album, you'll notice this album seems to amount to little more than a track realignment.
To future buyers, it pretty much comes down to choosing either this album or "Another World," but I wouldn't recommend owning both.

The, "Thriller".......2003-08-17

I have a lot of Oakenfold, but this is the big one for me; this is the, "Thriller," of my Oakenfold collection. I can't get enough of this album. The first six months I had it I couldn't stop playing it and had to force myself to play other stuff.It is one year later and I still can't just play part of it. Once it's on, I'm hooked. "Travelling," is the perfect name for this album. He warms you up in fits and starts, then, the minute you hear the first of, "Cry to Dream," it's time to fasten your seat belt as you get blasted into the stratosphere. He keeps you high at that level right through the second disc. Bravo, guy! Six stars!

Amazon.com

Like your favorite gourmet restaurant, Paul Oakenfold always mixes the familiar with pleasant new twists. On Ibiza, Oakenfold is every inch the vintage progressive house-trance DJ, packing both discs with springboard dynamics, variety, and spice. The first track, "Waiting," is a John Creamer remix of a Nat Monday composition, and it gets the pulse jogging with over 10 minutes of invigorating trance. Depeche Mode chips in with a Danny Tenaglia mix of "I Feel Loved" (different versions of which can be found on the CD single), and Oakenfold contributes his own lush mix of U2's "Beautiful Day." The collection is brought steaming home by Insigma's house-trance driver "Open Your Eyes" and PPK's dramatic but house-fun "ResuRection (Space Club Mix)." Things do get a bit wonky midway through the record's first half, as Radiohead's "Idioteque" is too twee and tart for this mix's overall tone. It takes the freeway-crunching "Transit" by Arena to bring Ibiza back into comfortable contextual territory. Nobody manages to pack clubs worldwide like Oakenfold, and when he's really trying, nobody can pack a club into two discs and a plastic box like Oakenfold, either. On Ibiza, the man put some elbow grease into his mixing board. --Steffan Chirazi

Album Description

Hot from scoring the hit Hollywood film 'Swordfish', world-class progressive trance DJ, Paul Oakenfold returns with what is set to be his finest double CD mix set to date. Inspired by the hedonistic yet spiritual vitality of the Mediterranean paradise island known as Ibiza, Oakenfold transports you to ecstatic new heights with choice selections and his signature ultra-smooth mixing.

Customer Reviews:

Any album that promotes the word Ibiza = cheese..........2005-02-04

Even though Oakey is making a strong comeback with his latest album "Creamfields" (highly recommended), this album, along with Bunkka, typifies why this extrodinary DJ has received a very bad rap of late. Don't get me wrong, I love Oakenfold, but his meteoric success has the unfortunate effect of selling out artistry for commercialism. Since 2001 or so, Oakey has become more of a franchise than a DJ, selling pop remixes, soundtracks to Playstation games, and hobknobing with the likes of Justin Timberlake and U2. I can understand why many of his fans abhor him for trying to make a buck at the expense of quality.

Ibiza is substandard Oakey, with cheesey songs and average technique. It sometimes makes me wonder, if an amatuer DJ would have cut this set, would it be called "brilliant"? However, since this ablum is from Mr. O, he has to present us with a gem everytime. Anything less is cheese. Oakenfold and Tiger Woods suffer the same malaise of extreme public expectation.

I also want to take note and ask why are record labels slapping "Ibiza" on everything that is related to dance?? A once-unknown island getaway for E-trippers and Euro-candyravers is now the self-appointed Mecca of dance music?? Just because an album has Ibiza on it does NOT guarantee a masterpiece. In fact, I steer clear from any album that mentions any reference to Ibiza. Otherwise, I am in for a guaranteed chedder-fest.

I am so glad that Oakey has reinvented himself and is returning to his roots and craftmanship. Although Bunkka, Ibiza, Great Wall, and Swordfish all represent a watered-down, commercial doppleganger of Oakenfold, these albums nevertheless are an important transition period in the history of the world's most influential DJ of all-time.

If you are following the chronology of Oakenfold, do yourself a favor, get everything from 1994-2001, especially the Cream sets, ending with Travelling (excellent CD BTW), skip everything after that, and start over with Creamfields. Your ears will respect you in the morning.

I saw Oakey live recently at a Tsunami benefit. Da brotha still got it!

another strong mix album.......2004-05-18

Oakenfold has been called the world's greatest DJ. Now this mix album may not be as great as Another World of Swordfish but its hard to beat those mixes. I also may be one of the few that really liked how he through some Radiohead into the mix. I think the song just fits for some reason. His mixing is untouchable, as well as his song selection. I highly recommend this album to further your Oakenfold mix album collection. Another strong mix that shows you why he stands above the other DJs. Some of you may not like his song selection but that is what makes Oakenfold himself. What is an Oakenfold mix without some wierdness thrown in? Anyways, get it and enjoy it. Enough said.

this is my fevrite cd.......2003-12-25

i dont know how all of you people can not like this cd this cd is gread it has a lot of great songs so to anyone that doesint have it should get it.

Where is Paul & what have you done with him??.......2003-07-22

OUCH. Was he trying to sell out, go for a pop chart hit?

Boring. Really bad singing & sampling. Annoyingly simple techno that starts with nothing and goes nowhere. I am heavily dissapointed. Disc 2 is slightly better, but I found I could not make it through most tracks. Paul Oakenfold has some great CDs, but this is not one of them.

Hmm....I don't know.......2003-07-18

I liked the CD and as mentioned, it grows on you. There were only two songs that I really can call my favorites: CD1;track 8;Maas Attacks and CD2:track 11;ResuRection (space club mix). Maas Attacks is really unique and very spooky. And ResuRection (space club mix) really does make you feel like you are in space. But that is just me, you might like the rest more!
Gotta love P. Oakenfold though, the songs may not be his usual, but he does a great job DJing.

Sublime & annoying all at once - that takes some doing.......2004-01-20

What do you do when a mix transports you to dizzy heights one minute, and then irritates the heck out of you the next? If that puzzle is too much for you to handle, you may want to leave this mix well alone. However, for those of you who can put up with (or skip) nerve-jangling moments of sonic horror every now and again, this mix is a beauty - 'coz he's back, all right. With a bang. Like only he can.

I've long ago decided that nobody knows what Seb Fontaine's thinking except Seb Fontaine himself - the man seems to be comfortable with such drastic changes of direction when programming a mix that it's a little disorienting for a few of us. A classic example - mixes from his Prototype series with the Boxed label, which whipped from funky to deep to progressive to trancey with no time to breathe between tracks. That's part of the appeal of a Seb mix, I guess - track selection like there's no tomorrow, sorta like the feel of a DJ going mad in a club. Ergo, you're going to have to expect the disconnected feel that some tracks induce ("What the %^@* is he trying to do?!"). This mix showcases this ability to enthrall & frustrate in equal parts by interspersing driving rhythms and banging tempo with maniacally repetitive vocals that I simply don't see the point of - sometimes right in the middle of an otherwise brilliant track.

Disc 1 starts you off well enough, with Saltpervert's "5 AM Soho" providing the perfect foundation for a groove-oriented, high energy mix. Seb's own remix of Shagrat's "India" carries on well, and when Flatline's "Are You a Freak?" dropped, I was just getting ready to bow to the master. Then, it happened - the title vocal moved from being just right to plain peurile (areyouafreakareyouafreakareyoufreak... enough already!). I love everything else about this track - wouldn't a dub have done so much by cutting a little? We'll never know - this is Seb's party, and you just have to keep up, I guess. By the time I was back in the groove, David Guetta's "Distortion" was driving appropriately hard, and segued superbly into Soul Mekanik and further into The Mook, before ending with the suitably pulsing "It's Love (Trippin)".

OK - just an aberration on Track 4, you think. Let's move on to Disc 2.

He does it again - right in the beginning. Otherwise fine track absolutely mauled by a pointless, looped vocal. I could cry with disappointment, but things get hauled back up again in a serious hurry - tracks 3, 4, 5 & 6 are vintage Seb. Wild, out of control grooves brought to shuddering halts with outworldly, trippy breakdowns - this is what he does best. By the time MAteo Murphy's "Spectrum" breaks over your speakers, you've moved through enough suitably electro-clash territory to satisfy followers of the year's biggest trend. Overall result - satsfaction.

Bottom Line - He's a mad magician. Don't come here if you're looking for consistency. But if you want to experience the buildup of epic sound to that defining moment that only Seb can provide, go get it. It may make you shake your head in bewilderment once or twice, but you'll always be yanked back into the groove eventually.

Disc 1 - 3 stars.
Disc 2 - 4 stars.
Reviewer's Tilt - An extra 1/2 star (aww, it's Seb, after all :-D)
Overall - 4 stars. Does him no harm at all.

The Ever-Evolving Seb!!!.......2003-10-19

This set is sick! Seb gets right into it from the start. Excellent programming. This is a must have for Seb fans! He kills it on this one.

I Wasted $20 on this cd.......2003-10-13

I found this cd to be overly repetitve and boring. As a fan of Sasha, Digweed, Van Dyk and crew, I would recommend any album by these DJ's over this Perfecto compilation

sublime.......2003-09-06

track 1 on cd 2 is definately the worst track on either cd.
but its not THAT bad. you can/will survive listening to it!

and i kid you not, other than that track, this cd is FLAWLESS. its dark, moody, and full of beats. i'm going record shopping for a couple of the tracks on here, like track 1 cd 1. great vocals. love 'em.

oh and i saw seb fontaine a couple weeks ago in chicago. got my flyer (looks like the cd cover) signed! wooha!

this cd is great!

Not bad..........2003-08-04

The Seb is back indeed considering this album is much better than his previous one, but I was not wowed like I was with Prototype 1 and 2. The first song on disk 2 made me very annoyed. How many times can you repeat the words: Chicago, Detroit, New York in one song??? I'll tell you: 30 times in less than 8 minutes. That's just wrong. Therefore, considering the lack of "wow" factor and such amazingly annoying repetition on song one of disk 2, this CD deserves a 4. Try a little harder Seb!

The latest disc from dance music's most well-known DJ goes for the mass-appeal jugular, offering a collection of main-room beats and remixes. Melding tracks from artists like U2, The Doors, and Justin Timberlake with his own work (credited here as "Perfecto Allstarz"), Oakenfold tries to replicate the sound of a specific type of Club, the kind that caters to beginners, where every third track is something everyone knows. It's a safe tactic for a man who has long since given up the mantle of a truly progressive artist in favor of a more ambassador/recruiter-type role. He's not lagging that far behind, though; there are touches of electro around the edges here, especially in "LA Woman" (though electro isn't exactly cutting-edge anymore to be sure). And while it would have been nice to hear a more radical reworking of "Rock Your Body," Oakenfold's choice to keep Timberlake's heavily airbrushed vocal intact gives the song an almost surreal smoothness. The unabashed populism of this mix prevents it from having any staying power, but it's immediate impact, while brief, should only further expand Oakenfold's empire. -Matthew Cooke

Customer Reviews:

fun dancy CD.........2007-05-31

this CD is actually not too bad.. contrary to come of the reviews.. some of the tracks are really good.. some are sort of "meh" but it's a fun CD to listen to. I am happy with the purchase which was done on a whim, and in the midst of many bad reviews.. It's got a great Oakie energy to it, and you can tell he got to touch most of the music on it.. PPK's ressurection and Chroma (long) are my fav tracks..

It is what it is.......2007-03-02

If you're a long time Oakenfold fan, then don't read this review. I admit that this album is not a highlight of Oakenfold's mixing career, but we the songs on this album are not half bad. If you're new to Oakenfold's work, than this is definitely a place to start. This cd advertises with the title that it is CLUB music (meaning that these are songs that you can definitely bump and grind to at a club) which is exactly what this album has succeeded in. With remixes of Justin Timberlake's "Rock Your Body" along with vocals by pop artists like Natasha Bedingfield, one look at this album and you can already make inferences that the beats will be poppy. One major gripe I have about this album is that the selection of songs and the order they appear on this album are inconsistent with no careful though or planning.

dreadful.......2007-02-01

Just because you *can* remix something doesn't mean you necessarily *should*. This album is abysmal.

Oakenfold = COOL.......2007-01-10

Pay no attention to the nay sayers for they have no idea what they are talking about. This is an AWESOME album. If you are an OAKENFOLD fan and NOT just a trance fan you will love this cd. OAKENFOLD has the best beats around. NO ONE does it the way he does. LIKE Elvis he has RHYTHM. This album makes you cool with every listen. IF you are a nerd, listen to this album along with Oakenfold's Swordfish over and over. YOU will.....BE COOL.

Take it for what it is, and advertisement for a club! .......2006-12-15

I am a devoted Paul Oakenfold fan, and have been since 1998. I hesitated buying this until previewing it a few times in the shops. It is definitely a different sound (think mainstream, rock-dance, commercial) than what I and loyal fans worldwide have come to expect.

"The Club" is not a Paul Oakenfold compilation, but actually a advertisement for the TV series "The Club" (based on the new multi-million superclub Ice in Las Vegas) in which Oakey makes appearances. So you really have to take it as that, and nothing more.

Oakey is getting older, has done it all, played everywhere, and seen everything in dance. He's been on top of the game for nearly two decades, and as such, he has grown as an artist and embraced his extensive wealth and the lifestyle that comes with living in L.A.'s social scene.

"The Club" features a couple great songs worth the price of admission alone. Jan Johnston's "Delerium" is a hypnotic slice of main room vocal trance that speaks to the soul, followed by the best song on the album, Deadly Avenger's "Artisan" (Powerful progressive breaks with an epic tone). I believe Oakey put these on the mix for dedicated fans. Thanks!

There are good rock-dance productions by Oakey under his Perfecto Allstarz moniker, with "Psycho" opening up the mix in a surprisingly good way, followed by the Oakenfold remix of The Flaming Lips, which is decent. Perfecto Allstarz follows with "Bullit", which starts off great (you think he is going into trance mode), but journey's off into unchartered waters. Too much commercialness and major key usage = cheese.

Natasha Bedingfield's "If You're Gonna Jump" is a superb example of Oakey's mainstream appeal, and would sound perfect in an action movie, Hollywood premiere, or any main stage in any superclub . Looks like he got everything right on this one, and it shows. Play this in your car and you're guaranteed to exceed the speed limit!

The bad: here we go.

The Doors "L.A. Woman" is just ridiculous. Hollywood has definitely taken hold of him. This is the worst track I've ever heard from him, and I hope it's the last. Justin Timberlake's "Rock Your Body" is given a mild, simple Oakenfold remix that just should never have happened. It's perfect media advertisement, but is still pure cheese. But watch it rock the dancefloor at ANY hip hop club effortlessly! To each his own.

"Southern Sun", U2's "Beautiful Day", PPK's "Resurrection"? How many times have we seen these tracks on other Oakey compilations, and haven't we heard them waaay too much already? Come on Sir Oakey! This is what angers a lot of devoted fans, along with the "L.A. Woman" and Timberlake fiascos. I know you are make millions off this stuff, but enough is enough!

Perfecto Allstarz round out the mix, with "Chroma" (so-so breaks filler) kindly escorting us into the fairly good Ice Las Vegas ad-song "The Club Theme". Oakey probaly made this in one-sitting, but it still sounds pretty good. Nothing special, but good background music for (once again) advertising!

All in all, I recommend this only if you are a rock and dance music fan, or if you are a truly loyal Oakenfold fan. While not a "Another World" or "Creamfields", "The Club" is a nice addition to your collection.

P.S. - History has shown us that Oakey drops a mediocre release here and there before coming out with a monster-think Perfecto's Greatest Hits, Elvis and other shameful remixes, -followed by Creamfield and The Great Wall. We are due for another massive mix soon!

Album Description

With Seb's sound fully realized at both his club and on his non-stop global tour dates, it was fitting for Seb to launch the natural continuation of his legendary Prototype mix album series in the form of Type. With one eye on his established sound, and one eye on the future of electronic music, Seb puts forth his strongest effort to date on Type. The tracklisting is filled with tough, chunky, digital-edged house music (which Seb deems "electronic house"), and represents one of the most forward thinking efforts ever put forth on a Perfecto compilation. The mix also includes two Fontaine original productions: the funky chugger "Do The Do" produced with Jay P, and the soon to be huge "Need to Feel Loved", produced under the Reflekt moniker. Progressive, electro, trance, and house heads will all find something to like about this mix…

Yeah, it's solid. But it could've been more; not a bad party choice........2007-01-27

What initially attracted me to this album were the incredibly infectious, hard-hitting beat-loops which caught me completely off guard as I listened to it at the record store. I decided to buy it, and I'm not REGRETTING the decision, but there are a few more albums with such intensity (perhaps ISOS3? Solarstone's Destinations Vol. 1?) which I would have rather spent my money on. But, this CD is strong.

Fontaine leads us through a two-disc myriad of breakbeat, thumping dance music. If clubs wont play progressive, minimal, melodic/vocal and tech house/trance, this is next in line. But dont mistake that: In its own right, this CD in every way belongs in a dark, anonymously misty and heart-thumping bass filled room crowded with Hi-NRG ravers and casual dancers alike.

Particularly on disc 1, however, the mix selections could have been just... well, just better. I HATE the track 'tweakin' (Saeed Mix), with its repetitive and glammed up song line, 'we, be tweakin, like every single weekend we be tweakin'. There are only so many times I can hear that line, in one single song, before having to skip ahead. My sanity depends on it. I liked the opening Noho Porn Stars' "More Intensity" which flows nicely into Rene Amesz's "Back Into the Funk", but unfortunately the antecedent to that track is "Tweakin'". I cant get past that fallacy of a track in its inopportunely placed location! I have tried.

I'll say a few short words on disc 2, because in terms of elaborative criticism there isnt much to be said. One standout track, and whose remix I really enjoyed by Fontaine, was Sander Kleinenberg's "My Lexicon" [Stef & 16 Bit Lolita Remix], as I am always excited to see it appear after being introduced to it on one of Sasha's Global Underground releases (Ibiza, I believe it was...). Otherwise, a great combination of breakbeat, hard-hitting and sometimes melodic trance without as much annoying vocal intrusion as the first disc. A good buy, especially if you need something accessible to bring to a party centered around consistently danceable music. I'd probably include this disc along with The Politics of Dancing 2 ~ Paul van Dyk and maybe Emersons GU015: Uruguay. I'm not saying these releases sound alike at all; merely that they could concievably serve the same purpose when proposed for a party; that is, to get people funkified and in the mood to party!

Solid.......2006-09-17

A good exemplification of hard house here. I'm kinda impressed although like another review it reminds me of Sander K, maybe because he was just in my player. Some tracks are borderline tribal with the drums banging, but overall, a hard house album for the pleasant ear. Cool vocal interludes. The second disc displays originality and it blew me off my toes. Especially with the tracks Outrowz "Wrong!" and Sander K's "My lexicon".

Disc 1: 3.5 stars
Disc 2: 5 stars

One of Perfectos best!.......2006-04-19

Damn this is great. After listening to Fabric 20 I decided to get more house music.

Now if this isn't house I don't know what this is but all I know this is some sick $hit!

At first it was kinda crazy cause I was expecting something like Fabric 20 but what I got instead was better.

CD1 is so great on track selection and mixed so great. (After the third time listening to this CD a finally saw the beauty of it. And I was left speechless).

CD2 Damn he starts with a great song in the beginning which grabs your attention and sensation to dance and almost to the whole album he will keep mixing good.(But in the middle it kinda gets boring)

Verdict: 5.0 out of 5.0 This is great and you need to give this album a couple of spins before actually enjoying this. Seb mixes great on. Buy this I loved this one!

has its moments.......2006-02-12

As a whole these cd's are not Seb's best work. But if you like the 'commercial' sound of Oakie then you will love it. He has definately replaced a lot of his regular funk and edge for some atmosphere and POPie baselines. The standouts on cd1 are "Tweakin", and Saeed and Palash's "Champion "which by the way is a bangin track. Cd2's standouts are #4 "wrong" and #5 "Lexicon".

As always Seb's mixing is utterly flawless, i would almost say that all of his cd's are laid out by a computer if i haden't seen him spin personally. Definately has its funky and 'chunky' moments but not often. I know that all artist have to move foreward or get left behind but we have enuf Oakies in the world.

Best DJ Album of 2005.......2005-11-30

Be prepared to warehouse style. This set takes you to so many adventures. Well done Seb, it is been a long time for me that i did not hear a set like this. This album will be around my classics "definitely".

The best album of 2005.

And second place goes to deep dark mix of "Anthony Pappa - Balance 006".

Album Description

MTV's ubiquitous Spring Break DJ makes his debut for Paul Oakenfold's Perfecto Records on "Perfecto Presents...DJ Skribble." With his unabashedly banging club mix style, New York's DJ Skribble has sold over a half a million copies of his "Essential Mix" albums in the US alone, and has built an envious career as one of the country's most widely recognized DJ's. Now DJ Skribble returns with undoubtedly his strongest effort to date on "Perfecto Presents...DJ Skribble." The mix features an accessible yet credible ride through the best in modern club music, and includes upfront material from Erick Morillo, Deep Dish, Narcotic Thrust, Superchumbo, Club 69, Murk, and man-of-the-moment Steve Angello. The mix also features EXCLUSIVE new material from DJ Skribble, including his collaboration with Harry "Choo Choo" Romero on "Feedback," as well as his remixes of Oakenfold's "Southern Sun" and Ministers De-La-Funk feat. Jocelyn Brown's "Believe" (both album exclusives!)! . Also featured is the extremely hard to find "In and Out" by Eric Prydz, the man behind "Call On Me" - one of 2005's biggest dance hits.

DJ Skribble has truly changed...I love this CD.......2005-07-11

If you like vocal club music you def need to get this CD. It's def one of my favs right now, I'm listening to it as I type. He's def now the same DJ he was spinning back in the 90's at Mtv Spring Break (although he was good then too). I wish nothing but the best of luck to him the future and hope he keeps on putting out QUALITY club/dance music. This is a must have.

True Oakenfold Fans Of Old Should Like This.......2007-05-30

If the type of sets that Paul Oakenfold used to mix at the turn of the century still appeal to your auditory senses then this may be an album for you. Travelling is a two disc set loaded with tracks that are very reminiscent of Oakenfold's glory years. Expertly mixed and true to his preference for trance. Both discs have a very similar sound throughout although disc 1 has a little more of a darker undertone while disc 2 has a few more clubbers' anthems.

Disc 1 gets 3.5/5 stars and disc 2 gets 3/5 stars.

excellent CD.......2002-09-05

AT first, not a big trance fan-but I gotta into oakenfold with some of his songs off the tranceport cd, and i got hooked. this is the second album of his that i purchased, very, very good. i like the second cd much better than the first, its darker, deeper, sounds more layered in my opinion. the thing i like about oakenfold's music is that its varied, between light and hard, and makes for some good study music. this cd is very good, i highly recommend it. on the #2 disc, i especially like the blackwatch north sky remix. the sarah mclachlan remix is really good as well, (never thought i'd be so pumped to hear sarah mclachlan).

Great Dancing and peaceful listening.......2001-11-18

I bought this CD after recently buying Swordfish. After listening to it I realised how bad Swordfish really was compared to this. This is so peaceful but uplifting. The songs are quite progressive which I like. The best tracks would have to be Timo Maas's Ubik and Bunker's Decent. Really good breakbeats and trancy tunes. However I think the Bullet in the Gun song stops it from getting 5 stars. It is totally out of place and just sounds stupid. I love this CD and I love Oakey. I want to buy Resident when I get $82 Australian dollars!! I can't wait.

This review may not be helpful, but..........2001-07-07

There was supposed to be a dance party featuring Oakenfold a block away from my home at the fairgrounds and I was planning on sending my wife to her mother's house, sedating my dog, and walking over to see Oakenfold perform his magic, but the redneck hicks that run this town got the party moved out of the county and I didn't get to go...

Anyway, to get revenge on the school district for making it so hard on me to get my stepsons graduated I was planning on running for the school board when I retire, but as I keep listening to these two CDs my tendency is to run for city council instead to give those jokers some grief for making that dance party with Oakenfold move...

These CDs are great for 3rd shift commutes or any other night time highway driving...

Just a short review.

I bought this from a high street record store and haven't stopped playing it since. Both CD's are equally as good as each other so you never know which to play. It's a typical Oakey style with trancey music as well as chilledish sort of stuff. it's makes great music to put on in the background, if your going out, basically anytinme really!

Anyway, I thoroughly recommend that if you're interested in Oakey, you buy this CD, It's absolutely kickin'
