Music reviews of Creamfields
Music Review: Possibly the best dance mix of 2004
Rating: 5 Stars
Despite the negative aura that Oakenfold has built up from releasing mixes and artist endevors that do not live up to his famed days on the likes of Trancport and Perfecto Presents: Another World, Oaky has still managed to come through strong and release a stellar mix compilation. While the rating I gave Creamfields a few months ago was probably a little over-zealous, it still stands as one of the best things to come out in 2004, weither it be labled as a straight up dance mix or an electronic music juggernaught.
Creamfields features some of the best trance and progressive house that the world has to offer. The first disk, which does have a lot of trance on it, is probably the more 'housey' of the two, featuring more 'deep/progressive' house riffs. The thing about it though is that a lot of these songs are still labelable as trance, but they do a good job at bluring the line between the two genres. One thing is for sure ,the first song on the mix is DEFINENTLY a trance song, as it starts off with Matt Darey's incredible remake of his legendary trance song "Point Zero". Point Zero features maximum euphoria with it's hypnotic female moaning, deep and dreamy bass and synth lines, and a nice steady fast paced drum beat that drives the listener into a cool and heaven-like flight through the night. The mix then progresses through other great 'blueish' night time dance songs that touch upon a somewhat softer side of trance (those being Interstates "Found You" and Duran and Aytek's "First Sight", the former featuring some nice female vocals and beautiful string like synths and the latter featuring a nice plodding beat and pulsating synths.) Things continue in a nice smooth direction, and get cranked up a further notch with the beautiful Oakenfold remix of Carlos Vives' "Como Tu", which captures some clasic Oakenfold synth riffs. Tilt's "12" features that song imeediatily, which holds it's own with a good, slightly heavy beat and a cool synth layering with some beeping noises and a slightly arpegiating riff. The mix also takes a darker turn on Quivver's "Space Manoeuveres, pt 3". This particular track is one of my other favorites on the mix. It has a great 'evil' vocal sample, some very dark synth lines, and a nice rumbling bass line that helps you capture the feeling of a dark evil space/sci-fi epic. The mix then goes through another good Tilt track, and finaly closes it's first disk with the Probspot remix of The Young Parisians stellar dance track "Jump the Next Train". This remix is definently my favorite, featuring a vocal effect on Ben Lost's voice that makes him sound like a woman! It does a great job at bluring the line between deep house and trance.
The second disk of Creamfields is definently the more trancy of the two, starting off with Suzy Solar's "Ocean of Love". While not as nearly as good as Darey's "Point Zero 2004", Ocean of Love gets the job done with hit's deep synths and smoothly flowing notes. Girl Nobody almost steals the show with the guitar oriented trance track on "Cages (Lemon 8 Remix)", which is probably one of the most creative trance songs I have ever heard. Peter Martin w/ Anthanasia also does a good deal with Perfect Wave, which is a short but sweet trance number. This song has a cool vocal sample with a nice effect added to it and lots of twisting drum beats built around some nice up-beat synths. The Shane 54 remix of "Time of Your Life" puts a definite epic/clubby twist on the said track off of Oakenfolds own "Bunkka". And let's not forget the arguable centerpiece of the two CD's, the great trance remix of U2's "Beautiful Day". The mix then closes with two more heavy trance tracks, those being a crazy oakenfold remix of Mauro Picotto's Lizard and a nice and powerful remix of John "00" Flemming's "Im Not Fooled".
Overall, if I were able to change the rating I gave Creamfields, I might be tempted to lower it to a 4. In between the time I bought this CD and now, I've had the chance to hear a lot more trance music and judge some of Oakenfold's past work. Still though, for what it is, Creamfields is probably one of the best DJ mixes I have ever heard in my life, and I never have regretted buying it. I only hope Oakey comes back and delivers another mix as good as this one sometime down the road.
Description of Creamfields
Internationally renowned DJ/Producer/Remixer and all around modern music catalyst Paul Oakenfold returns with a melodic trance monster of an album on "Creamfileds." Throughout his storied career, two releases have stood out as the quintessential Oakenfold mix albums: 1998's "Tranceport" and the recently certified Gold 2002 release, "Perfecto Presents Another World." Both of these releases embodied the uplifting, grandiose trance vibe that helped firmly establish electronic music in the global mindset. With "Creamfields," Oakenfold revisits the vibe of these timeless mix albums, yet in classic Oakey style, he does it with a whole new bag of tricks for 2004Oakenfold takes the role of the DJ one step further on "Creamfields." The album features original Oakenfold re-edits of every track plus new remixes produced exclusively for this release, including the exclusive Oakenfold 2004 remix of U2's smash "Beautiful Day", an exclusive remix of Oakenfold's collaboration with Jane's Addiction's Perry Farrell, "Time Of Your Life", as well as club anthems from Mauro Picotto, Nubreed, and D:Fuse. With "Creamfields", Oakenfold delivers a full two CD's of the classic uplifting melodic trance sound that he has become famous for, and the re-edits and remixes bring the continuity of the album to a whole new plateau. "Creamfields" is the album that Oakenfold fans have been waiting for.
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
