Paul Oakenfold!! AND Normam Cook!! Twice the excitement right?!
Wrong.
This is a sample box for DJs. Funny how accurate the name is. If you're not a DJ or producer, this probably isn't for you. Actually, even if you were a DJ or producer, is this really how you'd get samples?
Surely not.

Poor. I really think Oakenfold and Cook are taking this piss with this release.

It has Oakenfold's name on it!! Need I say more? Oakenfold = Garbage!! Go and buy a disk from a real DJ, not this cracker jack!!

The title should be a clue. This album is nothing but individual samples played over and over again to a drum loop. I'm not a newcomer to electronic music, and I understand that repetitive themes surrounded by creative variation is par for the course. That's not what this is. It sounds like he spent about 15 minutes on each track. He literally takes a single melodic loop and repeats it over and over and over again on top of a single drum loop. All the tracks are like this. There is NOTHING TO THE PRODUCTION. After being spoiled with Creamfields, Great Wall, The Club, Tranceport, and Bunkka, I expect some world class production. This is not it. I can't believe Oakenfold would put his name on this. In fact, I can't even believe this is Paul Oakenfold, it is so mindlessly bad. I'm a little mad at Oakenfold, I must say, for robbing me of $14.
