MICHAEL JACKSON'S 'GHOSTS', May 13, 2001
This review is from: Ghosts (PAL Format Video Box Set) [IMPORT] (Audio CD)
This man is the killer entertainer of our time. Nothing else can be said except that he IS what entertainemnt is about.
And this Box Set proves that fact.
Michael Jackson's 'Ghosts' video is the best music long form video I have ever seen. He is an incredible dancer, and even better singer and a superb songwriter.
What do you get in this Box Set?
Ghosts - The Home Video
The video itself! Which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in 1996. This video is his best effort since either 'Thriller', or 'Smooth Criminal.' The visual effects are amazing, the dancing is incredible and the story-line is solid. Check out the makeup in this video. Wicked!
Blood On The Dance Floor - The Album
The first five songs of this disc, 'Blood O The Dance Floor', 'Morphine', 'Superfly Sister', 'Ghost', and 'Is It Scarey' are masterpieces. The other 8 songs are remixes from Michael's 1995 opus, 'HIStory: Past, Present and Future: Book 1' which was one of Michael's best albums to date. Read my review of 'Blood On The Dance Floor - The Album' for further reading.
Ghosts - The Program
An excellent addition to this Box Set. The actual program that was handed out at the Cannes Film Festival! The pictures are printed on beautiful glossy paper and their are many unreleased photos from the film!
Ghosts - The Minimax CD Single
A must have for any fan, young or old! Includes the never before realeased songs:
On The Line - A classic Michael Jackson ballad! Produced and written by Babyface, it shows Michael's voice is better than ever! Another great reason to buy this Box Set!
Ghosts "Mousse T's Radio Rock Singalong Version" - A great remix of the song which this whole Box Set is based on! Great production, killer remix.
Is It Scary "DJ Greek's Scary Mix" - Is by far one of the best Michael Jackson remixes I have ever heard. And that is no lie! This thing is pounding, I love this remix. I would buy this Box Set strickly for this song! I'm serious!
This Box Set is deffinatly worth the money! When this comes back on themarket, you have to get this! It's amazing!

Must have for diehard Michael fans!, July 13, 2001
This review is from: Ghosts (PAL Format Video Box Set) [IMPORT] (Audio CD)
For all of you hardcore Michael-fans, this is absolutely a must have. Originally Sony intended to bring out singles like Is it Scary & Smile. However, ...this wonderful box set was released. It continues the following items:
- The Ghost Video (approx. 35 minutes) - The Ghost Program Book (as given to the visitors in Cannes) - The cd Blood on the dancefloor/HIStory in the mix - A limited edition cd-single with the following songs:
1) On the line 2) Ghost (Mousse T's sing a long mix) 3) Is it scary (DJ Greek's scary mix)
1 = a previously unreleased song by Michael that was intended for Spike Lee's movie Get on the bus. Beautiful ballad, produced by hitwonder Babyface 2 & 3 are also unreleased mixes. 2 = nothing more than a instrumental version, very boring. 3 makes you wanna turn off the music ....
The glossy ghost program is a pure collectors item, only a few thousand copies are being made, most of them were hand over to the celebrities who attended the premiere at the Cannes filmfestival. And the longform ghost video is a must have.
Also blood on the dancefloor, wonderful album. A few mid-quality mixes, but the 'new songs' blood on the dancefloor, morphine, superfly sister, ghosts & is it scary are obligatory food for every michael-adorer. So, give it a try, you won't be dissapointed.
