Title: Good songs, terrible mixing
Review: Paul Oakenfold spins these songs in the most pedestrian, predictable way imaginable. The songs themselves are good, but the mixing is...is...well, its not really there, is it? Case in Point: disc two, where he just throws songs together in a pastich way without any real transition. From Drum and Bass, then, the intricate trance of "Leaving Planet Earth" to "Air"--which has been mixed elsewhere, to glorious effect (IE: Ian Ossia's Renaissance vol. One [import] from last year). Here it is just thrown in. It doesn't seem like a lot of thought or care was really put into this mix--it's just the greatest hits. Whereas REAL DJ's like Sasha and Digweed or Dave Seamen or Nigel Dawson construct tight, intricate epics, Oakenfold just churns out product, like Tranceport, which is good for the first five or six songs.Maybe it is worth paying for in vinyl, so you can mix the songs yourself. He does, after all, offer full, undoctored mixes.
