Without a doubt, the original "Stranger in Moscow" was the brightest highlight of Michael's '95 double album HIStory. While the album was a little disapointing (for the most part the new tracks seemed less than cutting edge... and where's "Human Nature" ? ), this track made it more than worth the purchase. Believe the hype, this song is timeless and truly one of Jackson's very best ever... and now there's remixes! I bought this single when it was first released and I was not disapointed (well, I was a little, I was hoping it would be enhanced like "They Don't Care About Us," but I guess you can't have everything). Every remix is unique and highly inspired, with reinterpretations incorporating everything from R&B to dance to drum'n'bass. As a bonus there's an excellent remix of "Off the Wall" courtesy of Junior Vasquez. I really could not recommend this single more, and even people with only a passing interest in the song or Michael should check this out.

Stranger In Moscow is one of the best songs from Michael Jackson's 30 year career as a solo artist. It is a beautifully done song that has so much depth and meaning, it truly reaches out and touches the listener, like much of his music. This song is classic, its hauntingly beautiful and this single is worth the price alone just to have the remixes, get it this is a milestone in his career.

The song Stranger In Moscow is definitely the most beautiful song I've ever heard. It sucks you inside this unreal, passionate, depressing world. It is stark, but that, ironically makes it so meaningful and thought-provoking. It climaxes powerfully, however, and leaves you feeling as though you have tasted a moment of the divine. It connects you with a higher level of spirituality. Michael Jackson is a genius!

The original 'Stranger in Moscow' from Michael Jackson's 'History' album is one of his best songs ever -- but this CD does NOT feature the original song! This CD features 7 re-mixes of techno/dance tracks based on that song. So if you are looking for the original song, go buy "History". If you want some good Michael Jackson dance music, buy this CD. (I bought this CD thinking it had the original song on it, and was very disappointed. I have since grown to enjoy it for what it is, though.)

I'm a long-time fan of Michael's and I'd have to say that this is by-far one of his best songs. The lyrics are absolutly amazing. Funny thing, when I first heard this song, I pictured a video very similar to the one made... only mine was a little better, haha.

This is Michael at his best! The most powerful track from History! And the remixes are possibly better than the original!!!!! Hani has done it again. His two remixes are some of the greatest mixes EVER!!!!!!! If you don't have this maxi-single MJ fan or not, It's A MUST HAVE!!!!!!!

granted the single really has 7 tracks but track 6 Hani's Extended Chill Hop Mix of "Stranger In Moscow" is by far the BEST. I love this remix, just as much as, if not more, than I love the original on HIStory. The beat to it just keeps it going. I absolutely love it and recommend people to find and buy the cd for this track alone.

The second track I love is the Junior Vasquez Remix of "Off the Wall". Again, I like this track just as much as I like the original version of the song. It's a very fun track.

one of mj's greatest songs and one of the best songs of the 90's that i've heard.it is a great piece of music and words from the genius of michael jackson.

This is good single. off the wall is the greatest remix on this cd
