Paul Oakenfold is most definitely one the best DJs in the world. He is respected, adored, worshiped by millions of clubbers, not only in Britain, but in Europe and beyond. He’s also a producer (do you remember Pills & Thrills & Bellyache by the Happy Mondays), a remixer, and a businessman, and with his own record label, Perfecto, has been a purveyor in fine dance anthems for years.
These days, Oakenfold has only one obsession: conquering the U.S, going back to where it all started for him, in the mid-eighties, when he moved to New York, leaving behind his old England. For this, he has taken part of the Perfecto roster with him, tirelessly touring the country, playing gigs, doing interviews. The result is Perfecto Presents Another World, an album only released in the States. Slowly introducing the Perfecto artists to the American clubbers, and introducing them to what is his trademark: euro trance and progressive dance music. But this compilation, showcasing his talent with multiple turntables, is unique. He’s always inserted soundtracks or classical music in his sets, but this has never been included in any of his releases, that is, until now. Another World feature one Dead Can Dance songs (The Host Of Seraphim), no less than two tracks by Lisa Gerrard on her own (Sanvean and Sacrifice), a remix of a Led Zeppelin track (Baby I’m Gonna Leave You), a cover of This Mortal Coil’s Song Of The Siren, originally penned and interpreted by Tim Buckley, and two excerpts from the Blade Runner soundtrack. So, how does all that work on a dance compilation then? The first moment of surprise gone, the whole thing doesn’t sound out of place at all. Actually, this gives a special dimension to the album, and tie it amazingly well together. In between these moments of calm, Oakenfold pulls the best out of his record box. Timo Mass’ Ubik, Planet Perfecto’s Bullet In The Gun, Amoebassassin’s Pile Driver, Jan Johnson’s Flesh or Delirium’s The Silence, unfortunately not in its original version here.
Travelling is more conventional in its form. Oakenfold sticks to what he does best, omitting the inserts of Another World. The tracks are quite similar, but some gems only features on the European release, such as the opener, Velvet, Leama's magnificent Melodica, Utah Saints' Lost Vagueness, or even the Big Brother theme tune, co-written by the man himself, and featuring here at the end of the mix.
Travelling is a brilliant album, although not quite as original as its American sister. Another World is a perfect rendition of what a Paul Oakenfold set can be. It is a compilation like no other, and will remain an inspiration for DJs for years to come. A bit like the man himself really...
