'4 Minutes' Remixes for the Club April 30, 2008

'4 Minutes' poses the same problem that many songs from "Confessions on a Dance Floor" did; how do you remix a song that sounds rather mixed already? The mixes included in this release are fun though my only complaint is that in one setting they sound rather similar. There wasn't an attempt to vary the sound of the song and make it into a rock song, or say, a pure pop song. All of these mixes are pretty much club-orientated, which is cool, but this maxi single does lack in variety.
That being said, there are some good mixes that make this release worth buying. The "Junkie XL" and "Junkie XL Dirty Dub" are both the best cuts from the album. For once, the dub isn't boring and a throw-away track but turned into something worth listening to. The "Bob Sinclair Space Funk Mix" keeps with the trumpets/synths/zipper-sounds to give the song a more airy sound and removes the trumpets and drums from the original mix. The "Rebirth Mix" is different in that it has a chill-out sound to it, smoothing out the vocals and scaling back on the instruments to play more with the vocals. The "Peter Saves Paris" mix is good in that it features Madonna more so than Justin Timberlake, unlike in the original mix of the song. It's one I actually heard in a club and it is very danceable, fun, pure dance club with a big sound and heavy synths and beats. The Tracy Young mixes are okay but don't stand out that much when compared to the other mixes.
In all, fun, nice, very dance and club orientated. My only hang-up is that the remixes sort of blend and clash with one another and I wish there had been more variety to perhaps see what '4 Minutes' could have sounded like with a different consideration or beat, such as making it into a rock song or pure pop, something done with other Madonna songs on previous Maxi singles. But, with that, definitely worth buying for your collection and to add to your music library. If you enjoyed the "Hung Up" maxi single of 2005, you'll probably like this one as it sounds like a continuation of the song with similar lyrics and the clicking clock sounds running throughout. Check it out.
the best remix is not here, look for the edited version from other sources May 20, 2008

i can say the BEST REMIX is "Timbaland's Mobile Underground Remix" which only can be downloaded from Verizon website to their customer's cellphone and this really pissed me off. But it is available from some website like Youtube and you need to try hard to find it out yourself. Ironically, how can they forget the real contributor to this song, and i was so surprised when i found out there is no remix by Timbaland in this Maxi.
While the rest of the remixes which i think are doing much more better is also not included in this maxi single, such as "Tracy Young House Edit" and "Rebirth Remix Edit" which can be found from her Limited edition Candy Box set release, while "Peter saves New York Edit" & "Junkie XL Remix edit" can be downloaded from iTunes Candy Box Deluxe Version. "Peter saves Paris Edit" & "Bob Sinclar Space Funk Edit" are just doing okay....which also can be found from iTunes.
Just forget about the long version from this maxi, the edited version is much much more better than these, trust me. All the edited version also can be found in Amazon MP3 download.
My personal favorite from this maxi are "Tracy Young House Mix" and "Rebirth Remix". The worst for me is the dub version, and i prefer the "saves New york" and "saves London" version than the "saves Paris" version in this maxi.

B.Sinclair and Tracy Young remixes are fantastic and Junkie XL plus Peter Saves add new dimensions to the remix field.
 4 Minutes Too Long May 13, 2008

Geez, I'd heard SO much about this so I decided to order the single. That was, perhaps, a mistake. The first two mixes--DEFINITELY the only from Dirty XL--are fine; after that, it's all downhill. I will have to agree with one other reviewer, Tracy Young's mix is just tired and Peter Rauhoffer's isn't much better. I expected so much more from them and was very disappointed in their inputs; neither delivered. I had hoped for a remix by Offer Nissam but that wasn't to be.
I'll wait for the release of the CD/album--whatever you want to call it. I just hope that if there are other songs remixed from it, they turn out better than the majority of these. Not worth your money except for the remix by Dirty XL.
 Madonna needs some new Spicer remixes May 3, 2008

Madonna's remixes lately have been very dull to say the lest,the remixes that where made commerically available for her last few cd-singles were very boring and very annoying,typical "floor killers",singles like "hollywood" and "get together" are more recent ones that come to mind but there is hope in this group of floor movers,the best i can see are "peter saves paris mix" and "the bobsinclar space funk mix",with a retro techno touch but all in all great if your a die hard fan but not good for the casual listener
I'll also recommend getting your hands on "Ashlee simpsons" "Promo mixes" for "outta of my head" their awesome "Floor movers" quite wicked but dare i say it,their actually better than madonna's "4 minutes remixes"
