Thought it would be an idea to take the discussion on Eric Prydz 'Opus' to a dedicated thread, as there is a huge controversy going on about in in forums and music mags.

The discussion about which version is actually the 'right' one is really interesting I think.
The Original Mix with the shorter build-up and the massive drop, or the Four Tet remix which does not really have a real breakdown rather than a smooth release.
There is people who say that when Maceo Plex played the track at amnesia, people were actually missing the drop moment - I for my part think the essence is more that clubbers are getting more and more impatient and are not ready for new experiences anymore. They were starting the sit-down after like 1 min.
I actually like both versions - because I do NOT think that the Original Mix is mainstream EDM. It is much too experimental for it.
Also, I believe there is nothing wrong about a big drop - it is just that the track should not solely depend on it.
