Amazon.co.uk Review
Whereas other compilations in Pete Tong's Essential Selections series of DJ mixes have featured one or two big-name jocks, Essential Millenium features three--Tong himself, Fatboy Slim and Paul Oakenfold. With arguably the three biggest DJs of 1999 on board, it really should be something special--and most of it is. All three DJs stick largely to their own musical style, leading to three vastly different discs. Oakenfold steals the show with a breathtaking mix of melodic, uplifting trance that's tough, tuneful, euphoric and nigh on brilliant. Fatboy Slim spins a tight set of party favourites, effortlessly moving between big beat, hard acid house and funky hip hop; though it doesn't come close to matching the brilliance of his own On The Floor At The Big Beat Boutique mix album, it's still quite good. Pete Tong proves to be the loser of the lot, completing the set with the weakest--yet most commercially accessible--mix, chopping together disco house anthems (Phats and Small,Basement Jaxx, Stardust, Armand Van Helden) and Ibiza favourites (Bob Marley vs Funkstar Deluxe, Paul Johnston). Tong's cheesy house-set aside, this collection is as essential as the title implies. --Matt Anniss

 A clasic that shaped my musical taste for a decade March 17, 2008
James Stevenson (Bath, UK)
During my school days this was one of the cd's that go played time and time again, whilst the pete tong disc is nothing more than you'd expect from the series and if you want prime oakenfold look for some of his clasics like live at cream, Fatboy Slim steals the show.
From the saw ettched start through to the sublime finalle it brings up a classic mix which even ten years later, almost, I can still recall from memory. Having brought scanty sandwich, at the time thought to be a sudor(sorry can't spell) for cook himself, through to underworld born slippy before effortsly blending into groove armada at the river has to be one of my favorite mixs of all time.
Overall the two discs are ok but for the best mix in my mind head for the Fatboy disc and enjoy.
overall pleaser September 16, 2004

Overall this collection of three fine DJ's work is extremely pleasing especially the Fatboy slim opener...perfect shop music suddenly contorting beautifully into the raw sound of a dark hand saw beat! However, i personally felt some of the tracks were a bit too 'charty' for my liking...but then i suppose something marketed for the millennium would inevitably have this sort of flavour. Despite this, its definatly one to have in the collection!
just worth the money August 24, 2002

ok, Pete Tong's disk is quite crap...what you would expect to find on any commertial essential Ibiza cd. So i won't dwell on it, you've probably heard the tracks 100 times on the radio already.Fatboy Slims cd is great, i'm not a bigbeat fan but its hard not to like this cd. It fits nicely with what you hear him play live (if you've had the pleasure). Funky beats, acid house and something for the bigbeat fans. Or just fans of electronic music like myself. My only problem with this cd is that i feel he has tried to cram a bit too much onto one cd, i would have prefered fewer, longer tracks rather that the 'radio edit' tracks he has opted for. Oakies disk is what you might expect for a 1999 set of his. Think Travelling with an element of his essential mix in Ibiza. You have probably heard the majority of the tracks he plays here on numerous other cd mixes he has done, this however doesnt stop it from being a great 'uplifting trance' mix. He will please fans who liked cd's such as travelling, 2 years of Oakenfold at Cream and much of his EM's...just a pitty he hasnt tried anything new as in GU Oslo, thats the Oakie I miss
Ditch CD 1 April 10, 2001
Not being a big-beat fan, I don't rate Norman's mix as highly as everyone else has. A bizzare intro leading into Necessary Evil, which is almost as annoying as Doom's Night (it's a close call). Only 'The Private Psychedelic Reel' and 'Between The Eyes' keeps disc 2 above banality. Did I mention that I wasn't a big-beat fan?!For me this is still worth the money just for Oakey's. His mix truely is greater than the sum of it's parts. It would be unfair to single-out any tracks as being better than the rest, although 'Bullet In The Gun' just so happens to be one of my all-time favourites. Whilst most mixes peter out as they run out of steam, 'Fly Away' builds to such a high it demands an instant replay. This disc alone has made all the trance albums in my collection redundant. My justification for giving this album as a whole 5 stars is that you don't have to listen to the others - you're free to choose. Had I known how good it was, I'd have paid more for the third on it's own. CD 1 isn't worth talking about (other than to say that it isn't worth talking about, if you know what I mean).
Buy it for the FBS disc May 6, 2000
The FBS disc is superb. The Oakie disc is okay, and the Tong disc is mediocre. Net-net it's worth buying just for the FBS mix. The juxtaposition of the first and last songs with the middle, dance-oriented tracks is simply brilliant
