So,something has gotten me to ponder which versions of certain MM songs are better than others etc...
So we're going by album & single versions,different singer versions and anything else. If that makes sense. O_O

Week 1:ILLUMINATI or ILLUMINATI (P-Type)?
au revoir or au revoir -BOSSA-?

The album version of Illuminati feels more "full".


The only part of the bossa version of au revoir I like remotely is the guitars at the very end. The album/single version's instrumentation is stellar and wasn't broken so why'd they try to fix it D:

I don't currently have the album, but I've listened to both versions of ILLUMINATI at some point and I don't remember the differences to really be substantial enough to make me prefer one to the other.

For Au revoir, I think the Bossa version is neat as far as B-sides go. It just definitely doesn't hold a candle to the regular version.

I think there's a flaw in the way you're conducting your survey though... If you just want to know if people prefer the alternates or originals for each single, why do you have Au revoir and ILLUMINATI in the same poll? Now I have to choose one single over the other as well as the alternate/original versions.

I vote for ILLUMINATI, I just love this song!Well ILLUMINATI (P-Type) is cool but I prefer the "full" version. I don't really like Au revoir, it's a cool song (like every MM songs) but I prefer the other songs from Merveilles. And Au revoir (bossa version) doesn't sound really interesting to me.

I voted for ~BOSSA~

Even though I don't actually like it more than au revoir, I think it's almost as amazing, and a very creative version. The original is amazing, but I overplayed it last year so the ~BOSSA~ version is refreshing for me.

I like ILLUMINATI (P-TYPE) because it makes the song more enjoyable to listen to, in terms of its basest composition, than the original, while keeping the mood/tone of the original completely intact.

I don't have much preference for Illuminati...I'm only semi-fond of the song to begin with so I'm neutral on which version.

For au revoir...I think I prefer the BOSSA version for the same reasons and Amatsu. I'm not sure it's better than the original, just pleasantly different.

I also totally dig the de l'image remix of Gekka no yasokyoku.

Thanks for that. I was wondering all the time where i went wrong with it...Yeah then the totals would be kind of unbalanced. I should fix this. Thanks!
