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.
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 :)
Great album, one of the Oakie's best. After several disapointing albums Oakenfold has finally produced something that proved that he still got it. Good job and thank u!!
For those of us that have been waiting for Oakenfold to return to his roots and leave behind the disasterous ventures into "Pop-trance", we finally got our wish. This double disc will remind you a lot of why you started to listen to Oakenfold in the first place, and if you've ever been lucky enough to see him live, you'll know these discs are very close in line with what his live sets sound like. If you loved Tranceport, Resident, and New York; you'll love Creamfields as well!
Yes some good music off my favorite dj. I loved every second of it.
I am going to try to make this review short.
An amazing mix by Paul Oakenfold, he did a great job on track selections and this is my first Creamfields CD so I don't know how the music really needs to be so it can be called Creamfields. But the reason I gave it 3 stars is that Oakie changed the mood of the music just too early but that only happens like 3 times in the whole album. But what makes this CD good is that I never got tire of hearing any song, I never wanted to skip a song. But also have to include that this is a mix and most mixes I have heard feels like a big experience and this has so many types of songs that for me feels strange.
I mostly listen to this when just chillin. Nothing to do either sick or playing videogame.
And even though I gave it 3 stars doesn't mean it is average this is some good music but with the mood of the music changing I would say this deserves 3 stars but I buy for any trance fan.
