Slightly better than the original version but very average, anyway. Not much happens for six minutes then it ends up just as it starts to get interesting with the guitars and the new riff...

I think it´s great, only the drum is a bit to mechanical - like in more remixes of PSB.

Personally I really like this remix, a classic extended dance version with lots of energy. It seems there is no pleasing some people, You can bet that if it was too far from the original, those same people would have slagged it off too. I am glad that with psb remixes they always keep well within the normal song unlike some remixers that produce versions that have nothing to do with the original, making them almost irrelevent as far as I am concerned.

I think the original version is unbeatable. That smashing bass-sound in particular.
I would like a long version of the original with more strange sounds and so on. :P

This is a fantastic remix! Absolutely spot on! Anyone who doesn't like it has too much wax in their ears.

Well it's not always a case of having these extremes...For instance I find PSB remix of "Girls and boys" much better than this one because it gave a different perspective to the song while not changing it à la Disco 2...

Or is a very sensible person who knows there just never is a good excuse to like a Madonna track

A good mix, but after a few listenings it´s not my favourite one. I prefer the Madonna´s one by now.

I still thinking is a normal remix for a normal song. Maybe a good one but not the eighth wonder :D .

After listening it more times, this is my impression: I find it a week and simple PSB mix to be a Madonna´s one ("Jump" should have been mixed instead by them).
I don´t find it a brilliant PSB mix, and Neil singing on it it´s like:"Let´s see where there´s one second I can sing, forcing my voice to appear near Madonna´s one ", it´s like he had the obligation to sing on it, no matter the result. I don´t like his singing much either (irritates me a little; I´m even surprised to admit this). The mix doesn´t contribute anything new.
Hope it grows after listening it much more, but for instance, Rammstein PSB mix was really brilliant to me since the first time I listened to it, ´cause it had a different sound which caught the song idea and image of the group.

Ok you dont like it that much but Neil's voice is not just placed anywhere..
Neil..I'm sorry so sorry please forgive me I'm sorry so sorry....sorry
Reply by Madonna..I don't want to hear I don't want to know please don't say you'r sorry..
They make a little go along way.. very Minimal but Fundamental.

It sounds like a heterosexual love relationship between Neil and Madonna, doesn't it?. It looks like a couple fighting.

One person: "I´m sorry, I´m so sorry". The other: "I heard it all before, I heard it all before"

It could be a cynical Neil Tennant lyric.
