Album Summary

Perfecto Presents: Another World is the twelfth DJ mix album by British electronic music producer Paul Oakenfold, released in 2000. It is the second instalment in his Perfecto Presents series, a series of DJ mix albums themed around Oakenfold's label Perfecto Records. The album employs Oakenfold's progressive trance sound and sees a return to the Goa trance sound he had helped popularise with Goa Mix (1994) and Perfecto Fluoro (1996). Similar to those albums, it also features a more eclectic array of music genres, featuring music from film soundtracks, the ethereal wave band Dead Can Dance and a remix of a Led Zeppelin song. Although the album received mixed reviews from critics, at the time of release, it became the biggest-selling DJ mix album in the United States, where it reached the Top 50 of the Top Electronic Albums chart.

Perfecto Presents: Another World is an album by trance dj Paul Oakenfold. I like trance, but to me Oakenfold is much too easy and smooth, not inventive or inspirating. This album is no exception: all commercial, bombastic and slick remixes. It bores the hell out of me.

I do wonder what would be the reason for submitting a nearly 150 minute DJ-mix for this project

Listened just to the first CD. It's fine. This genre doesn't really do much for me, but this occasionally made me visualize a really cool PS1 racing game, so bonus points for that. Strong 2/5.

Reminds me of clubbing days… great and I think you should listen to a good DJ mix before you die.

Silence 2.5/5

Completely forgettable, but I didn't turn it off?

Dubious as always of the remix. It was certainly all easy to listen to. Where it succeeded best for me was taking familiar artifacts and presenting them.in a setting that subtly changed the affect. The Zeppelin number a good example of this. I wouldn’t object to hearing more like this.

Rating: 6/10 Best songs: Bullet in a gun

50 years later, I still love disco. A bit monotonous but decent background sounds

There are a few cool tracks, but both discs are kind of a slog.

Not my genre. Sounds all the same to me

Maybe I don't like trance or I just listened to this in the wrong setting. It's hard judging dance music from my office. Overall, it didn't do much for me.

Not for me

Not on Apple Music so auto-1 sorry!!!

Automatic one for not being a proper album. There is a line where so much is altered to make it original again but this isn’t that

First of all, not an album. It's a decent house mix though.
