"This single is very rare now , but I still found it somehow .I suggest anyone who liked the 'Ray Of Light' album should to the same .Not often does Madonna get to collaborate with three cool remixers on one cd (with the exception of Music (CD Single) on which she collaborates with an endless list including Hex Hector , Deep Dish and Groove Armada) and in this case I mean Sasha , Victor Calderone and William Orbit .My faivorite mixes are the Sasha's twilo mix which is long , but cool (in the middle of which he uses prolonged vocals and an amazing feeling of falling (which I cant explain) and the Orbit ultra violet mix (on which he uses the same sample in the background the whole time) which is good for chilling out to .This CD is a jem , and one you will always remember ."

A great single!

"Well since u can't see the remix's names here they r : 1.Sasha's Twilo Mix (10:58) 2.Sasha's Strip Down Mix (5:00) 3.Victor Calderone Drum Mix (5:26) 4.Orbit's Ultra Violet Mix (6:59) This is a pretty rare single so if yer a true FAN GET IT! OK Sasha's Twilo is AMAZING! it's long and difrent from Ultra Violet Mix!!! It starts slow... then get faster and faster.. AMAZING techono MIX! OK The Sasha's Strip Down Mix is an Edit of the full lenght Sasha's Ultra Violet Mix. It is exactly the same.. xept for some little soud effects. he cut oout the introduction.. So it's short. It's not a mix to die for.. The Victor Calderone Drum Mix is also and Edit of the full leght Calderone Club Mix. Exept it barely has Vocals.. All there is is the "Ray of Light.." words.. It's an edit, And i wuld call it Instrumental mix. Cuz almost the whole mix is drums ! But it's pretty good i wuld give it 7/10. Finally The Orbit's Ultra Violet Mix.. well i can't say it's an EDIT of the Liquid mix he made.. but the sound kinda the same.. But it's difrent... I think that thath version is the very first version/demo of Ray of Light before it got edited and stuff for the album.. It's really William Orbitish if u know what i mean... GREAT MIX!!! OVER ALL i give the single an 8/10. I wanted to get it soo badly .. i got it.. and i wasn't that amazed.. But if yer a collector U MUST get this one!! It is pretty rare get it b4 it goes out of Stock!!! Peace Out )|("

Good Madonna import!

"For those who bought part one, this part two UK import is also a must, and it's even better. The Sasha Twilo Mix is a pure delight, though I agree it's a bit too long, but who cares when the overall quality of the mix is perfect. I would describe it as a techno-trance anthem mix. It's very neath, and rather simple, but nontheless excellent and creative (sounds like an Oakenfold remix a little). The Sasha Strip Down Mix is a shorter version of the Sasha Ultra Violet Mix (found on part 1), a fan favorite trip-hop mix which I'm not fond of, but since this version is shorter I appreciate it a little more. Track 3 is the Calderone Drum Mix, which is basically a "tribalistic" dub of the Calderone Club Mix found on part one. A very repetitive dub where your hear Madonna say "ray of light" here and there (like beginning of the original club mix) but nothing more. I do like the beat (catchy), but this is all we get and we wait for someting else to happen.
The Orbit Ultra Violet Mix is my other favorite. Surprisingly, it sounds a lot like the songs "Amazing" or "Beautiful Stranger". Surprise #2, near the end we hear Madonna sing "i feel i just got home" in opera style! At first we kinda wonder if she really did this, but I think the answer is yes. After all she did manage to pull "Don't cry for me Argentina" few years ago... Finally, the cover of the single is so cool and unique! Part one had the same picture but without this mirror effect."
