Product description Paul Oakenfold - Ibiza - CD .co.uk Like your favourite gourmet restaurant, Paul Oakenfold always mixes the familiar with pleasant new twists. On Ibiza, Oakenfold is every inch the vintage progressive house/trance DJ, both discs packed with springboard dynamics, variety and spice. Opening cut "Waiting", a John Creamer remix of a Nat Monday composition, gets the pulse jogging with 10-plus minutes of invigorating trance. Depeche Mode chip in with Danny Tenaglia's mix of "I Feel Loved" and there's his own lush mix of U2's "Beautiful Day". The collection is brought steaming home by Insigma's house trance driver "Open Your Eyes", and PPK's dramatic but house-fun "ResuRection (Space Club Mix)". Things do get a bit wonky midway through the record's first half, as Radiohead's "Idioteque" is too twee and tart for this mix's overall tone. It takes the freeway-crunching "Transit" by Arena to bring Ibiza back into comfortable contextual territory. Nobody manages to pack clubs worldwide like Oakenfold, and when he's really trying, nobody can pack a club into two discs like Oakenfold either. --Steffan Chirazi
