Does anyone else have fond memories of the Oakenfold mixes?

Oakenfold's 'The Goa Mix' is probably the best mix I've ever heard.

Should be these two: http://thenine.ca.nyud.net/essential/1994/1994.12.18%20-%20E...

So good it has its own Wikipedia entry - it's not often that a one-show playlist has been the template for a whole genre. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goa_Mix) Thanks for digging out the relevant links, mas I only had an incomplete copy of this.

Goa is good, but there's a lot more to Oakenfold than just that set (love his set from Havana Cuba). I have to say I'm happy to see fellow trance dinosaurs here. The electro world has moved on from the days of Oaky but I still have a vast collection that I use for marathon coding sessions.

Live in Rojan Club, Shanghai, China... And Liverpool University, those are all time faves!
