Paul Oakenfold

Travelling

Label: Perfecto Release Date: 19/12/2000

"Travelling" - Paul Oakenfold (Perfecto)

Dance music does exactly what it suggests. You go out, you dance to it, you go home, you sleep. It's also quite useful for writing essays to as well because it doesn't challenge the mind. You don't need to hear it, you just feel it. So if you don't like dance music this isn't going to change your opinion. But as silence-filler during your dissertation write up it's pretty effective. Those into their "tunes" will be glad to find that most of the stuff here hasn't been in the charts (Dave Kane, Tone Depth, Bunker) and that which has (Azzido Da Bass, Delerium, Element 4) has been mixed to such an extent you're unsure if it is actually the song in question until it gets phased into the next one. One to buy your trendy cousin who's crying out for at least one compilation this year that doesn't feature Darude in some way shape or form.
