And now settles for an (exclusive?) residency at Cream, making everyone come to him and pay heavily for the privelidge. Sounds like a God complex to me?

Fair enough. I don't want to tread on your toes particularly. If you're content to listen to something you think is just "okay" then please continue...

Because the Spice Girls make better music and are more open about their money making intentions. And don't worry I was just joking about the Kill Oakey list! I don't think anyone wants that (the list, not the killing).

Yeah, there are, but that's my problem, he is a 'personality'. I don't have a problem with this per se, but most personalities reside totally in the mainstream, not in some middleground point between the dance underground and the top ten. For me, a lot of what Oakenfold produces puts good forward looking dance music to shame. That's my beef with him... gb. -- /TheW i http://www.homeusers.prestel.co.uk/lwtcdi/all/ f o L D o dlr WTC "Let's decompose and enjoy assembling!"
