I prefer the original version

I have owned the original card version for many years and enjoyed it  but had the opportunity to step into the new century and go electronic. While it is the same game in theory, I'm not a fan of it's execution.  The graphics on the screen are not very high tech and not being as tech savvy as the younger generation was getting a little confused on the controls.  It was very loud and when we gave up I had to remove the batteries to silence it. Still fun but I prefer my old-school card version.  This new one is definitely lighter and more portable though.

The older/original version is still better. This version is okay - I was just hoping it would have sounded different from the original. If you have to buy one of them... buy the original. The singing and spoken word on the original is timeless, the new one is not.

It's a fine performance, and I should not compare with the original song.  But, my nostalgia does not allow to do not to do.  I do not enjoy as much as the original one.  But, don't get me wrong - you might like this better.

Let me just clarify.. I love it but these are updated somewhat changed versions of the originals... They are good but the original versions of alot of these awesome jams are alot better than the ones on this compilation.

I was happier with the old version. This version my have good features, but the easy things are harder to do.

I disagree with Evan Wilson that the latter revisions make this work a better piece. I feel that this original version is better than the 1880 version in all aspects.
The 1874 version possesses a sense of exquisite beauty and originality. When I first listened to this version, I was struck by its strong message of beauty, sorrow, calm and romance. While the message in the 1880 version is the same, the message was not as strong and much less inspiring. Much of raw power of the content had been mellowed down by revisions to make the work more acceptable to public at that time.
However my gripe with this recording is the quality of the playing. For the 1880 version, there is a large selection of very very well played recordings of the world's best orchestras and conductors. Bohm, Karajan(especially Karajan), Furtwangler, etc. While Jesus Lopez Cobos does fare quite well with his orchestra, he somewhat falls short when compared to the very best. I feel that the problems mentioned by Evan Wilson is due to this rather than the music itself. I can only imagine how it would sound like should the 1874 be played by top musicians.

Not as good as FMAJ but good.  I'm more likely to listed to this than the source versions - most of the remakes on here sound better than the originals, but I have always had a preference for the acoustic sound.

I read the original version of this book when it first came out. I prefer this version. It seems more complete, more whole.

it's not as good as the original one I've seen, but it's comparable. I think it's actually a little easier than the original version.

I don't like remakes of good shows. Except the Alvin and the Chipmunks(80's version)! This remake of Strawberry Shortcake is cute but I'd prefer the original 100%. Ya can't beat the classics. I don't like the new version of Scooby Doo either. This version lacks the Charm that made me fall in love with the original.

I got this song with the original one in mind. I didn't realize this was a remix. It's still pretty good, but the Boom-Bastic portion drowns out some of the lyrics a bit. I still love the song.

Preferred the original version to this one. That's usually the case with re-makes, so wasn't too surprised. It was o.k.

that version is only on the album which to me is a tragedy.  Despite the fact that the versions of Music that are contained within are fine interpretations of the original this is a case where the remixes aren't nearly as good as the original.  All of the mixes on this CD-Single are very techno/trance oriented.  I probably prefer the Calderone mixes over the others but all of these versions combined can't compare to the original.
I was expecting to at least get a longer cut of the original version, which to me is more r&b/club oriented than these o.k. but watered down versions of a great cut.
I bought the single because other than 'Music' I wasn't particulary fond of the album overall.  In my mind a CD-Single should contain all versions of the cut.

I honestly like the older style better. I wish they still made that one...

It's good, but I wish I would of gotten the original version as this is all remixes. Planning on using this for working out.

The original is the best. Worth the little extra cost over reproductions. This is just as I remember having as a kid
