"Here's the tracklisting for the USA Maxi Single of "Music"... 1) HQ2 Club Mix 8:50 2) Calderone Anthem Mix 11:55 3) Deep Dish Dot Com Remix 11:21 4) Groove Armada Club Mix 9:29 5) The Young Collective Club Mix 13:16 6) HQ2 Radio Mix 4:04 7) Calderone Radio Edit 4:25 8) Deep Dish Dot Com Radio Edit 4:15 9) Groove Armada 12 Mix 5:30 Madonna reclaims her stand as supreme diva with her newest single "Music." The maxi single is choc full of remixes galore that will appeal to all lovers of dance music. (a nearly complete collection of remixes save for a few dubs that were left off). The Calderone remix is glorious and proves that he is the right man for the job of remixing Madonna. The radio edits are a nice surprise as well. It's surprising that the original version was left off, but that alone will justify the purchase of the regular single. Music is amazing...buy it!"

Perfect!

"I must admit that I downloaded the single on the Internet as well as many remixes, but I'm still glad that I bought this CD. It contains 9 tracks, many of them unreleased (yet) on the net. Curiously enough, the original album version isn't included. The video might not be the greatest thing, but the single is near perfect and ALL the remixes are excellent. The remixes on this CD are, 1)HQ@ Club Mix 2)Calderone anthem mix 3)Deep dish dot com remix 4)Groove armada club mix 5)The young collective club mix 6)HQ2 Radio mix 7)Calderone radio mix 8)Deep dish dot com radio edit 9)Groove armada 12 mix. Enjoy!"

"The US Maxi single of Madonna's new song "Music" is housed in an eco-pak (i.e cardboard packaging with a plastic strip at side for opening and closing) and contains a whopping 9 remixes! 1) HQ2 Club Mix 8:50 2) Calderone Anthem Mix 11:55 3) Deep Dish Dot Com Remix 11:21 4) Groove Armada Club Mix 9:29 5) The Young Collective Club Mix 13:16 6) HQ2 Radio Mix 4:04 7) Calderone Radio Edit 4:25 8) Deep Dish Dot Com Radio Edit 4:15 9) Groove Armada 12" Mix 5:30 Personally speaking, this song doesn't sound like anything Madonna has done before, vastly different to the tone set in Ray of Light. I find the song quite hard to digest when I first saw the video premiere on TV, but I'm happy to say that the song grows on you with repeated listening. This particular single would've been a more complete package had the album version been included, or even an edit version. But overall, I am very happy with the remixes featured in this maxi. You must definitely check out track 5, The Young Collective Club Mix, and the remixes done by Groove Armada and Deep Dish. Of all the mixes, I personally find that these 3 deserve notable mentions. Track 5 adds a certain sense of vulnerability to the song with the type of instruments used, and you can actually feel the tension rises as the mix reaches a climax towards the end. The Groove Armada version sounds especially touching with the violins, but I feel that the 12" version atually sounds better then the longer club version. The Hex Hector mixes are only so-so, as does the Calderone versions. I know some people is going to hate me for saying this, but I have always felt that after ROL, Calderone has not really done Madonna justice with his remixes, especially the American Pie remixes. But I'm happy to say that his remix of Music is marginally better than those of AP. Of them all, I still prefer Young Collective, Groove Armada and Deep Dish. You must also check out the 4 track CD version from Germany as it contains an even shorter version of the Groove Armada remix, clocking at 3 min plus, as well as the 2 CD set from Australia, which contains an edit version of the Young Collective remix, and features a CD-Rom segment. Maybe only than can you collect all the official remixes?"
