 Ray of Inspiration April 1, 2002

The way Madonna sings the words "And I feel like I just got home," is reason alone why "Ray of Light" stands as one of her best singles in a long while. Madonna imparts the lyrics with such energy and heart, that it propels the song's driving beats into more dizzying, poignant heights. And just when you think she's delivered the goods, Madonna surprises you by punctuating the finale with a banshee's wail that would send Sinead O'Connor running! Lush with sonic force, whirligig computer effects and emotional delivery, "Ray of Light" becomes a slice of pop bliss that brings Madonna full circle to her dance club roots. Indeed, it's like she just got home.
 A great song with annoying as hell remixes August 14, 2001

Dont get me wrong, because the original song on this cd is excellent. Its one of my favorite Madonna songs. But, it did have one faulty...the remixes. The last remix was very good, but the second and third tracks (both remixes) weren't what i thougth they'd be, especially after listening to the excellent Frozen remixes. Please dont assume this is a bad single by reading this thought, as logn as you dont like the same beat being played over and over and over again. By the way, 3 stars is pretty good for a single.

Madonna has certainly improved with age! Her alto voice, and her choice of recordings within the past few years, have both drastically improved to the point where I've willingly bought both this single and her recording of Evita. The original song is thumping and exhillarating - the remixes are interesting, although they do not, in my opinion, touch the original. The final remix is particularly singular for its operatic overtones. An excellent song for this crazy, rushing world - a ray of hopeful light through the swirling madness.

This is the best Madonna single from '98.
The song itself is fantastic, the remixes are itrersting but the track that lifts the dancefloor everytime i play it, is the Calderone remix.That remix alone, makes this a single an investment!
Fantastic
Fabulous
N-R-G Buy it, today!

A GREAT song and the remixes are fabulose! Remixes are not made to sound like the original song, rather the remix should show the song in a different light and I think that these remixes do so. It's worth every dime!
