The original has always been, and will probably always be, my favorite.

Yeah, I gotta admit that every time I hear the original, it's like hearing something new. It really sets the mood for the show, as well.

Thanks to KnightmareX13, who mentioned [URL=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_29EkFFVR24]this jazz version of Cruel Angel's Thesis[/URL] in an [URL=http://forum.evageeks.org/post/537331/Favorite-version-of-Cruel-Angels-Thesis/#537331]earlier post in this thread[/URL], I discovered the Japanese jazz group called All That Jazz who made that arrangement, as well as arrangements of [URL=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V_RJaAbn-RA&feature=relmfu]Soul's Refrain[/URL] and [URL=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz-3qg-wq60]Fly Me to the Moon[/URL].

Turns out, the same group just released an all-Evangelion-based jazz album called [URL=http://www.amazon.com/Ever-Jazz/dp/B009DGUGZG/ref=sr_shvl_album_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1349563306&sr=301-1]Ever Jazz[/URL] a few days ago (10/3/2012). I got it as an [URL=http://www.amazon.com/Ever-Jazz/dp/B009DGUGZG/ref=sr_shvl_album_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1349563306&sr=301-1]MP3 album off Amazon[/URL] and it's seriously awesome stuff.

There's a new version of Cruel Angel's Thesis that now has vocals added. Likewise, Soul's Refrain and Fly Me to the Moon are both vocal variants on their earlier instrumental arrangements. I still slightly prefer the instrumental versions, which keep the spotlight on the group's wonderful pianist. Those versions are from earlier albums called [URL=http://www.amazon.com/Evening-Anime-That-Jazz/dp/B003N01634/ref=sr_1_1?s=music&ie=UTF8&qid=1349566382&sr=1-1&keywords=anime+that+jazz+evening]Anime That Jazz Evening[/URL] (which may be their best overall) and [URL=http://www.amazon.com/ANIME-THAT-JAZZ-NI/dp/B003WSSMI4/ref=pd_sim_sbs_m_1]Anime That Jazz Two[/URL]. But Ever Jazz has its own pleasures: I never really expected to hear a jazz rendition of songs like Angel Attack or Rei I, but now I have and damn, it's good.

It's intriguing, I'll admit; but I see no reason to upstage the original.

[edit] I just realised there are two completely separate arrangements in that video, and the second is actually quite hauntingly beautiful.

There's no beating the original. Yoko Takahashi is a legend.

The original, Megumi Ogata's version, and the english version by geekyfandubs are my favorites.

Does anybody know what they're singing during that part of the song? I can't figure out what it is they're singing.

Don't get me wrong, I liked the OP to Eva a lot but recently with differing musical tastes dominating my opinion as well as critiques of it sounding too pop for my taste interfere with me ever liking the song to a certain extent. I was wondering whether anyone experienced the same or is it just me?

I always fast-forward it. It's not that I don't like it at all, but yes, got sick of it at some point.
I apologize for any grammar mistakes, as I am not a native speaker.
