Reunited at last, Creamfields brings Paul Oakenfold back to Cream's bosom. As always, Oakie doesn't disappoint, raiding his extensive vinyl collection to bring us stunning mixes of progressive and tech house with chilled melodic trance and breaks. In the mix are joints from John '00' Fleming, Tilt, Quivver, Young Parisians, and even U2. The tracklist has been selected and mixed by Oakenfold and includes exclusive cuts and mixes. This is the only Paul Oakenfold mix album that's available in 2004. It doesn't get any more essential. --Paul Eisinger

Product Description

The album draws on Paul's unique sound, mixing progressive & tech house flavours with cool melodic trance & breaks & is a significant part of the reunited story of Paul & Cream - which sees Paul embarking on a global tour headlining Creamfields events all over the world. The album is also a journey through Paul's staggering record box & is a slice of his current DJ sets. The track list features a number of exclusive remixes (in bold) but Paul has actually re-edited most of the tracks himself, so the entire album is an ensemble of 're-crafted' works! There are also some classics thrown in, with Creamfields 'diehards' recognizing some big Oakenfold / Cream favorites such as Sneaker's 'Scatterbomb' & Auranaut's 'People Want To Be Needed'.

5.0 out of 5 stars If only for disc one..., September 16, 2004

It's not so much that my preference in music has changed so drastically in recent years but my love of techno had all but died, until now, due to redundant mixes, even by some of the best (Paul Oakenfold included). After doing some soundtrack scores for big movies I didn't even bother buying his last couple of albums as they sounded uninspired and tediously mediocre. It seemed to me like he was striving for a more mainstream audience while losing some hard-core fans in the process, but when he failed to gain the fame he might or might not have been seeking he apparently went back to his roots, and I thank my lucky stars for that! He's better off sticking to what he's good at, and that would be creating passion-driven atmospheres atop wicked beats that quickly get the blood pumping, making it extremely difficult to sit still for too long.

The melodies on disc one of 'Creamfields' are very melodic sounding with lush trance rhythms similar to his work heard on 'Tranceport' while disc two, albeit not as fulfilling or quite as addictive, features a lot more singing with shorter dance tunes, providing more of a club-friendly feel. Overall, though, I found this to be a satisfying record and can only hope that Paul Oakenfold continues his quest for greatness anew.

5.0 out of 5 stars 'new' nostalgia, September 5, 2004

Does this take anyone else back to a wilder, more free and uninhibited time? While the content is new, the feelings invoked while listening awaken something that has been dormant for a few years. Simply put, this is a great compilation. If you remember the days before hip hop blared out of clubs, or have ever hugged a complete stranger in a club for no reason at all - this compilation is for you. While I don't endorse hugging strangers, I do endorse this compilation - enjoy :)

when i bought this album i wasnt to sure about it. after bunkka and great wall i had lost most hope in Oakenfold. But listening to this has blown me away and put my faith back in one of the all time greats. disc 1 is a lot of smooth melodic trance. no harsh synths or choppy beats. just all great tracks with a nice groove. tracks like "i found you" "first sight" "clear blue" and "jump the next train" are all mindblowing tracks. very reminisent of 2000-2001 trance. disc 2 is one and the same. a little more upbeat but still very melodic and sweet groove tracks. tracks like " one day" "nice guys finish last" and "particle" are absoultely great songs. this album takes you back to a time when trance was pure. no hype and no pop-culture mouths to feed. out of all his albums id have to rate this 2nd only to tranceport. enjoy :)
