Paul Oakenfold- old news; June 17th @ MoS

Well, I guess many others knew it, and I had to learn it the hard way: not much fun, his current style, musically or otherwise.

I do consider his remix of Elvis' Rubberneckin' (try and acquire the single for the 2003 album ELVIS 2ND TO NONE from BMG Music) one of the most enjoyable pieces in that league ever. Yet, the Friday night at Ministry of Sound could've been better. Danced? Sure. But the usual joy from the audio-visual, psycho-physical union of receiving and giving was replaced by a (rather strange, for the venue and occasion) flickering between introspection and outward observation. ...

Paul- come back! Back to the thing I KNOW you can do!
