Re: diamond jigsaw live?
I think Oakenfold was good in the 90's when he focused more on a goa-type progression sound. I also thoroughly enjoyed the Swordfish soundtrack he made. Once he did Bunkka, it all went downhill for me. I've grown to really dislike trance music a lot. It sounds the same to me and I'm really tired of songs using poppy girl vocals that have to be edited like crazy in an attempt to sound decent. I'm probably being harsh, but man...

As for Diamond Jigsaw, I like it minus the campy synth. lol @ Dirty Canuck; I can imagine this playing in the scene when the wolf is "surfing" on top of a van. Good ol' 80's flicks.

Re: diamond jigsaw live?
okay, i've finally heard it. i have to say i would rather hear it when karl isn't gasping for breath. his performance on that version is pretty bad. the music itself sounds like the new single crossed up with some mk1 stuff, but i'm probably just saying that because y'all have been. it does have a certain cheese to it, but it's not bad. i just hope that it's not going to be the rule of what's on the new album.

Make fun of Van Buuren, but please don't allow Oakenfold to come anywhere near an Underworld live show.

I think I have you beat...

At Ultra Music Festival (during the AHDO tour) - I had to sit through BOTH Oakenfold AND Tiesto! Oh man... such a HORRIBLE experience. What was funny, is that while Tiesto was playing, he completely lost the crowd - most of them sat down, then the promoter actually came out to try and "hype" the crowd a bit. SAD

I also had to deal with Oakenfold at the Hollywood Bowl show... two of the people I was with actually brought their Nintendo DS -es to play during his set (smart idea)

and...

at the Hurricane Festival - THE COUNTING CROWS.... seriously yea... "Mr Jones & Me" and everything...

and yea - Oakenfold is a joke, but he did at least have a few random good remixes (U2 - "Mysterious Ways" and "Numb" Duran Duran - "Out of My Mind")

Oakenfold played the same set all 3 nights. Wore the same shirt too.

Ha, I always thought Oakenfold had to have some talent because of this, I loved the production on Pills & Thrills..

For the record Tranceport is a pretty good album!! But yeah his original material is pretty damn awful.

I saw Tiesto too...went for my brother's sake...yeah wasn't impressed, the crowd wasn't into it, the sound sucked...never do that
