• The wide-ranging, freewheeling modes of BUNKKA (the name comes from Peter Gabriels studio in the UK, where the album was recorded) are comparable with the catchall stylings of Paul Oakenfolds fellow dance enthusiast, Moby. So it should come as little surprise to anyone who followed Oakenfolds career over the pervious decade that hes come up with an album thats 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 Janes Addictions Perry Farrell, should raise few eyebrows, but its 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 Oakenfolds 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."
