Chasing the Ghost is the second studio album by Collide, released on October 31, 2000 by Noiseplus Music.

A special edition was released for the album's 20th anniversary on October 31, 2020. This CD+Blu-ray re-release came with the full album remixed and remastered from the original tracks, the original mix, a 5.1 mix, instrumentals, early versions, and three previously unreleased b-sides along with remixes and video footage.

Reception

Side-Line Magazine said "this is an ethereal, emotive disc that crosses the cold fire of early Siouxsie with the warm urgency of modern trip hop, yet wholly manages to defy categorization."
