Editorial Reviews

A Lively Mind, the second artist album from Paul Oakenfold—perhaps the most important figure in modern club culture—is a passionate, up-tempo, electronic adventure. Continuing a tradition of employing unique vocalists, Oakenfold enlisted actress Brittany Murphy (8 Mile, Sin City) for lead track "Faster Kill Pussycat" plus modern hip-hop great Pharrell Williams, hip-hop living legend Grandmaster Flash and others. But it is Oakenfold’s dance/crossover genius at the heart of A Lively Mind. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Uber great Trance-Pop, June 6, 2006

Oakenfold is a fantastic DJ, and fans of his usual material usually scoff at his artist colaberation albums, but I say bring on more! Oakie does a fantastic job mixing electro, trance and pop into a new and fantastic genre. Hell, the title track Faster Kill Pussycat featuring Brittany Murphy is worth the retail price alone.
The tracks come at you in a frantic pace that should keep you dancing all night, or bobbing your head in the car until your neck cramps.

This review is from: Lively Mind (Audio CD)

A Lively Mind is Oakenfold's most recent effort and has been criticized by many who don't realize where the true quality of his mixes are to be found. It is not in the idvidual tracks, but the overall product. As a party DJ, Paul Oakenfold has prefected the transition process from song to song, thus this is an album best listened to in its entirety instead of one that has 1 or 2 stand-out tracks. The facts are out there, Oakenfold is good at what he does: in an annual Top 100 DJ poll, Paul slipped into 9th place last year.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredible Album and Great Performer Live!, July 17, 2006

Just saw Paul Oakenfold in Seattle supporting his new album and I must say that he knows how to get a crowd going!..he also took the time to come over to me and sign my copy of A Lively Mind as well as the first single! After a quick handshake from this artist I stand by my review not only as a great album (I own almost all of his catalog!) but also him as a performer. I think this album should not be overlooked and deserves a listen many times over. You must also not overlook the fact that he has incredible connections in the music industry that come to him for remixes on their albums...Madonna, U2, Lopez...the list goes on! Keep em' coming Paul and THANK YOU for the experience and opportunity to meet you as well. Your #1 fan in Seattle!
