Trance Mission (Paul Oakenfold album)

Trance Mission is a studio album by British DJ and record producer Paul Oakenfold, released in 2014. The album sees Oakenfold interpreting a variety of classic rock and pop songs in a trance music style. It features covers of songs by artists such as Led Zeppelin, U2, and Radiohead. Trance Mission distinguishes itself from Oakenfold's primarily electronic original compositions by focusing on reimagining existing works with his signature trance sound. The album received mixed reviews, with some critics praising Oakenfold's inventive approach to the source material and others criticizing the arrangements as uninspired or lacking the energy of his earlier work. It charted in several countries, though not as successfully as some of his previous albums. The album includes vocal performances from various artists, and aimed to appeal to both long-time trance fans and those familiar with the original songs being covered.
