| | Album Notes and Credits |
Notes & Personnel Info |  | This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. | | Personnel includes: Paul Oakenfold, Nelly Furtado, Tricky, Ice Cube, Perry Farrell, Grant Lee Phillips, Hunter S. Thompson, Asher D, Carla Werner, Tiff Lacey, Emiliana Torrini, Shifty Shellshock. | | Producers: Paul Oakenfold, Andy Gray, Steve Osborne, Carmen Rizzo. | | This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files. | | The wide-ranging, freewheeling modes of BUNKKA (the name comes from Peter Gabriel's studio in the UK, where the album was recorded) are comparable with the catchall stylings of Paul Oakenfold's fellow dance enthusiast, Moby. So it should come as little surprise to anyone who followed Oakenfold's career over the pervious decade that he's come up with an album that's at least as eclectic as anything the aforementioned techno elf had produced lately. | | Oakenfold is best known as a dance remix artist, whose credits also include producing Happy Mondays' best-selling PILLS 'N' THRILLS & BELLYACHES and remixing tracks for U2. So the inclusion of several guitar-heavy tracks, plus a guest appearance from Jane's Addiction's Perry Farrell, should raise few eyebrows, but it's with dance-flavored cuts such as "Southern Sun" and "Ready Steady Go" that he appears most at home. While his inspiration obviously comes from reworking other artists' tracks, he takes a good stab at constructing (and deconstructing) his own efforts, aided by guest appearances from Tricky, Nelly Furtado, and Ice Cube, whose "Get 'Em Up" is one of the high points here. While Oakenfold's talents as an original artist may be limited, on BUNKKA he makes the most of his alchemical abilities, and the results are occasionally stellar. |

| | Professional Reviews | | Rolling Stone (7/11/02, pp.108,110)
- 3 stars out of 5 - "...A poetic splice of hip-hop and techno, and possibly a sound with a future."Alternative Press (8/02, p.88)
- 7 out of 10 - "...True Innovation...slick, expertly crafted..." CMJ (7/1/02, p.4)
- "...Oakenfold is a pivotal section of the bridge that connects the worlds of techno and pop music and, with 11 tracks that comprise BUNKKA, he continues to successfully link that gap." |

5 of 5 Amazing - For the open mind Tuesday, September 06, 2005
A Listener from Oceanside, CA
This was an amazing album, not like Oakenfold's previous efforts. I'm not a huge fan, but I bought this album for one track, "Ready Steady Go". After the first listen there were at least 7 other tracks I would rate at 4 or 5 stars. The album varies, it goes from electronica, to new age, to dance, to trip hop, to almost the borderline of rap, so be prepared for a wide variety of music - all electronic. Some of the songs are highly danceable while others are melodic. Oddly the tracks seem to flow very well throughout the CD. There were more songs I rate 4 or 5 stars on this album then 90% of my 750 CD collection. Was this review helpful?

5 of 5 The king of all trance dance Dj's Thursday, July 04, 2002
A Listener from New York, New York
Once again Paul Oakenfold has proven that he is the man and his godlike status in the trance world cannot be F'ed with. Through awesome emotion inspiring tracks he is able to bring out the spine tingling raw DJ talent that has made him famous and allowed him to become a prime example for any DJ to strive after. This album is already a classic. Was this review helpful?
