6. Die Another Day (Brother Brown's Bond-Age Club)
Die Another Day Review
The title track produced by Madonna and Mirwais Ahmadazai from the 2002 release of the coolest James Bond movie yet. Strings arranged by Michael Colombier. Mixed by Mark 'Spike' Stent. This single features the Radio Edit of 'Die Another Day' & 5 mixes (Dirty Vegas Main Mix, Thee RetroLectro Mix, Thunderpuss Club Mix, Deepsky Remix & Brother Brown's Bond-Age Club). Maverick. 2002.
I paid under $8 for this maxi single and so being overly critical of the content is well....unnecessary.
Obviously the original mix of the song is really good, otherwise, why would you want to buy a remix of it?? As for the remixes, there are some good and some bad.
The 1st remix (Dirty Vegas Main mix) has a few (I stress 'few') good moments, but overall, it's too long and it doesn't do much for me.
The 2nd remix (Thee RetroLectro mix) starts out promising, but again if fails to progress into anything that interesting.
The 3rd remix (Thunderpuss Club mix) has an pounding beat (as would be expected) and really offers nothing else.
The 4th remix (Deepsky mix) is by far the best on the album becuase it manages to partially escape the obvious trap of remixes by avoiding getting mind-numbingly boring after 1 minute.
The final remix (Brother Brown's Bond-Age mix) is an easy pick for second best on the album, however, again, nothing all that great.
Overall, this album was dissapointing and offered no stellar remixes of a great single. The only reason to buy this would be if your a HUGE Madonna fan or you like collecting maxi singles. But, again, its only $8.

Her Best Single Since "Frozen"
5
OMG, I adore this song! The lyrics are actually excellent, in my opinion. I love the "analyze this" part. The movie itself is horrible but this theme song rox! Also, check out her "American Life" album. Contrary to popular opinion, it's a brilliant album. Love ya, Madonna!

This is the Best Song Madonna Has Written For A Movie and The Remixes Will Blow You Away
5
This is the best James Bond song I have ever heard. It is also my favorite song written and produced for a movie by Madonna. A View To A Kill comes in a close second.This song went to number 8. The remixes are as good as Vogue and we all know how good Vogue is and the songs remixes. This song was also written and produced my Mirwais. This would have to be the 2nd maxi single next to Vogue with highly energized remixes. I like how she says "I need to lay down".
The Radio Edit: This is similar to the album version one except she does not say at the end "I need to lay down" like in the Album version. There are some tape sounds in the beginning and taps sounds at the end, I love it.
Dirty Vegas Main Mix: This starts off simialr to the radiot but there is a much extended version of this.
Thee RetroLectro Mix is brillant and there is one sound in it that is absoluety superb.
Thunderpuss Club Mix is my favorite remix. Theres so much power in the song. You could hear her laughing being remixed into the song and she says "analyze this this this" . The sounds in this one are very well produced.
Deepsky Remix: Is a little slower than the other remixes but it is enjoyable to listen.
Brothera Brown's Bond -Age Club: Starts differenly too and the remix is a slower too.
I would highy recommend this CD because of the high energized remix 3 and 4 but the other ones are great too!!
