I'm rather split, as I love Dance Dance Revolution, which has TONS of techno classical mixes that are super fun. Sometimes, though.... it just sounds so wrong. Anyone have a strong opinion one way or another?

just like any form of music, it really depends on the producer and their skill in making a good remix.

I think both are good. If we want to do dance then we prefer remix songs and if we want to listen only then we choose original tracks.

I can appreciate the kitsch (sp?) but classical music works because of its emphasis on, and exploration of, acoustic sonorities. Without this dimension, why not just write original music?
