Following up the gigantic 30 track album 'HIStory: Past, Present and Future'; Jackson's 1997 release, 'Blood on The Dancefloor', is thought to be the best selling remix album ever.
Often overlooked in the King of Pop's top albums, 'BOTD' features only 5 original tracks, including, arguably, two of Michael's most striking and inventive songs, the coupled 'Ghosts' and 'Is It Scary?'. These two tracks which form one of MJ's mammoth mini-films, similarly overlooked in comparison to the likes of the commercially renowned Thriller, fit perfectly well with Jackson's darker sound of the late 1990s.
Not complete without it's title track, the album's other most competent original release is 'Blood on the Dancefloor' itself. Despite Jackson's slightly (okay, massively) horrendous outfit in the video, his raspy, masculine vocals take the track to a different level to that of earlier records. Complete with dark and mysterious lyrics, 'Blood on The Dancefloor' is one of the albums highlights.
Of the album's remixes, many surprisingly improve upon the original track (no offence to the man himself). The stunning remix of 'You are not Alone', for example, takes the beautiful ballad up a notch using a faster beat but without losing the emotion of the track thanks to delicate piano chords throughout. Thankfully, the poignancy of the track post-death is not lost in the remix and, if anything, makes the lyrics more bearable for the heartbroken fan.
Given the albums focus on the 'HIStory' album, 'Blood on The Dancefloor' would not be the same without a mix of 'History' itself. Tony Moran's remix is the most typically mixed, creating a contemporary and fast-paced track.
