I bought the Oakenfold's New York mix after hearing it in a friends car. Since then, I've gone Oaky mad! I've got most of his cd's ranging from essential selection, perfecto fluoro to more recent ones such as Travelling and Another World.
You see a number of chillout albums that have been released over the last few months, the Ministry of Sound and Ibiza chillout albums etc etc... but the I still rate the New York mix as the best chillout album I've heard. I personally think that the first cd is truly amazing and really relaxing. I have friends that don't even like dance music and even they just love the cd.
However, after listening to the first cd, I've found that certain people have been a little disappointed with second one. I've found that people that are not really into Oaky's style of mixing tend to criticise it more.
You might think this is a bit weird but people that are familiar with Oakys style of mixing can probably relate to it. He is not totally all head-banging trance, but adopts a unique style of mixing that can take you from ambient music to more progressive trance. He is a truly gifted dj.
If you are looking to buy a chillout album soon, then I would highly recommend that you get the New York mix, you will not be disappointed.
