5.0 out of 5 stars
Music makes the people come together, September 8, 2000
This review is from: Music (Audio CD)
OK, here's what you'll want first. Track listing.
1)Album Version - 3:44 - Ok you must've heard this one on the radio by now! One of Madonna's funkiest tunes to date! If the album is anything like this single, it will be killer!
2)Deep Dish Dot Com UK Radio Mix - 3:59 - a tight radio edit of a fabulous remix! Dubfire & Sharam really rework this one into a nice house number.
3)Groove Armada's 7" Edit - 3:38 - Groove Armada (who gave us the super funky "I See You Baby" a few months back) keep Madonna's original breakbeat vibe going here, but add a few more synths to give the song a deeper, sexier sound.
4)Deep Dish Dot Com Remix - 11:21 - the full length remix by Deep Dish is the best of the bunch! A nice deep house groove paired with Madonna's vocals. Although I love this mix and I love this song, I did find the chanting of "music" to become monotonous at times, which in some aspects makes the radio edit work better than the club mix (for your average music fan - fans of extended club mixes will love this one)
5)Groove Armada 12" Mix - 5:30 - The full length mix of track number three.
6)Groove Armada Bonus Beats - 4:50 - Not really bonus beats, but more of a dub. There are a few chants of "Hey Mr. DJ, put a record on I wanna dance, dance". Quite honestly not too exciting but interesting nonetheless.
7)Groove Armada Club Mix - 9:29 - A little bit faster in tempo than the other Groove Armada mixes, which helps the song. Fans of the Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim or William Orbit will probably enjoy this one. It is quite long, and the vocals are minimal. The song is almost trance-like at times.
this single also contains the music video and a screen saver!!
ALL MADONNA FANS MUST HAVE THIS VERSION!!
disc two contains the HQ2, Calderone & Young Collective mixes.

Not the best release to scream about, really..., December 24, 2004
A Kid's Review
This review is from: Music (Audio CD)
OK, as for this Australian Import of Madonna's excellent single 'Music', it's OK but really nothing to scream about at all. It contains a few deep dish mixes, quite a hand full of groove armada mixes (these did 'I See You Baby'!) and if you were a big fan of these mixes by Groove Armada you must have this release, otherwise get CD 2 (it's much better) or the US Maxi or both (Like I have). This aussie import also contains the video - but that's nothing special either, i'll tell you why later... (all the other reviewers have already said but i'll say it anyway). Below is the tracklisting and comments for everything on this CD.
1. Album Version (3.44) - Excellent track. It makes you get out of your seat and really start dancing!! This was Madonna's tenth number 1 and I can see perfectly why!! It was also a US No.1, a number 1 on the dance charts, a million seller, entered the UK charts at no.1 and finally, came from the no.1 album (in the UK) of the same title. The album 'Music' also went to no.1 in the US.
2. Deep Dish UKRadio Mix (3.59) - It's a good remix but I really didn't see any point in it. They also remixed the original Deep Dish version before it got edited and stuff (the 4.15 version) and honestly, that was better... because all they've done hear is cut the first 15 seconds off from that remix!! Just get the Maxi for the original radio edit - really, again, nothing to scream about.
3. Groove Armada 7" Mix (3.38) - The intro to this remix is absolutely excellent but the mix as a whole it not very exciting. It's really just an edit of the 12" BA remix, found on track 5. Groove Armada also used 'Down By The Lake' to sample this remix, wouldn't all of us Madonna and Groove Armada fans liked to see them sample 'I See You Baby'? Oh Well. I'm personally sending this message out to Groove Armada, because it's not Madonna's fault. Again, nothing special.
4. Deep Dish Dot Com Remix (11.21) - Probably the best remix on this import. It definately get full, top marks!! The concept and sound quality of it all is pure genius and excellent!! It's the full club mix and it's definately there best remix of Madonna's 'Music.' (There are 4 mixes by Deep Dish, the 2 on here, the mentioned above 4.15 version and the US 4.29 version - all that's different there is they put a 15 second outro on the end!). Compared to the 3.59 version on track 2, this version by Deep Dish does really make a difference. I'd like to see them remixing something for Madonna, that samples their 'new' track, 'Flashdance'!
5. Groove Armada 12" BA Mix (5.30) - I really couldn't say weather this mix is the Bees Knees or not. At the end of the day, it's just an 'full club mix' of the 3.37 edit. Or atleast just an extended version. I don't at all hate the Groove Armada mixes of 'Music,' however, they are all dubs and I personally think dubs are rather tacky. I'd like to see them do a vocal mix of the hit that's all, I mean a hit like that does deserve more than 4 dubs versions by the same remix artist for what it is.
6. Groove Armada Bonus Beats (4.51) - This is really just an edit of the full club mix, found on track 7 (the next track). It really is no Bonus Beats and to be quite honest with you, it's really not that exciting!!!! Just a few chants of the lyric or vocal 'I wanna dance' or 'I wanna dance with my baby' and a few chords of what you hear in the club mix. The mix I least like on the disc and by Groove Armada.
7. Groove Armada Club Mix (9.29) - Wooooooo!! The best mix by far that Groove Armada have done for Madonna's 'Music.' I really can't critisize this mix at all as it is excellent!!! They changed the music and made it a little faster to all the other Groove Armada remixes ('Bonus Beats' is an exception) and made it in to a dance anthem! A great remix and really the Bees Knees of Groove Armada, this is their true colours coming out!! This mix is, really something special!!
As for the video, it's rubbish as it is sensored and has blurs in it - Buy the DVD single if you want the video. Overall, the CD is OK but buy CD 2 or the US Maxi. The US Maxi has a truckload of mixes by Deep Dish and Groove Armada, plus Tracy Young, Victor Calderone (suprise, suprise) and the fantastic mix of Hex Hector & McQuayle: HQ2. Aussie Import CD 2 includes mixes by Victor Calderone, HQ2 and Tracy Young (Includes the Radio Mix lasting 3.44!!!). US Maxi just includes remixes, but the Aussie CD 2 includes the Album Version plus the edit mix for Tracy Young and The Young Collective Club's remix!!!!!!!!
>>> Madonna is GREAT!!!!! <<<
