*** Paul Oakenfold, “Swordfish the Album,” Warner Sunset. British DJ Paul Oakenfold makes a big leap into Hollywood with the soundtrack to the John Travolta movie “Swordfish.” The film’s score is by Christopher Young, but as executive producer, Oakenfold puts his signature all over the CD, weaving dialogue, Young’s score and various techno tracks into an inviting beat fest notable for its style and edginess. Already a global superstar, Oakenfold seems poised to make Hollywood his next conquest.
