EXTD=c. -- Steven McDonald\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nIncomplete, 
EXTD=yet good soundtrack for 1st season of Miami Vice, June 26, 2002\n
EXTD=Reviewer: Dan Dan Leimone (Tucson, AZ USA)\nHad I not been alive 
EXTD=and a teenager when Miami Vice was originally on NBC, I'd probabl
EXTD=y wonder why anyone would bother with this soundtrack album. Many
EXTD= of the songs are available elsewhere, yet in spite of this, this
EXTD= album really stands on it's own in a way. Although very incomple
EXTD=tely, it represents the music and feel of the '80s TV show "Miami
EXTD= Vice". "Miami Vice", more than any show I can ever remember befo
EXTD=re or since that wasn't about music, was very much driven by it's
EXTD= stellar music. The original music by Jan Hammer was it's signatu
EXTD=re sound, with the theme being a huge hit and used everywhere the
EXTD= entire last half of the '80s. The rest of the music used in the 
EXTD=show was always fitting to the moment in the show, and came from 
EXTD=many of the biggest names in music at the time. It seemed like ev
EXTD=eryone that mattered could be heard on Miami Vice, and having a s
EXTD=ong on the show often meant having it on the radio shortly after.
EXTD= "In The Air Tonight" wasn't a very big hit for Phil Collins when
EXTD= it was originally released in 1981, but in 1985 when it got ente
EXTD=nsive play on Miami Vice, it finally got the extensive play it de
EXTD=served on the radio. MTV really hadn't come of age yet, and where
EXTD= I lived in Wyoming, it wasn't even offered by the local cable co
EXTD=mpany. Miami Vice in a strange way filled the music video role fo
EXTD=r an hour every week. This album in all honesty is a weak represe
EXTD=ntation of the music played weekly on Miami Vice, but before beat
EXTD=ing it up for that there are two major things to keep in mind. Th
EXTD=e first is that a complete Miami Vice soundtrack, even for just t
EXTD=he first season when this album was released, wouldn't be a mere 
EXTD=album, but a very beefy box set that most people simply would not
EXTD= have been able to afford. The other thing to keep in mind is the
EXTD= music licencing involved. This album was released on MCA. Non-MC
EXTD=A artist's labels would have had to approve each track and be be 
EXTD=paid for it, which would've been a financial nightmare. Since mos
EXTD=t of the songs played on the show were available on the artist's 
EXTD=own albums, it was to thier advantage NOT to have thier songs on 
EXTD=this soundtrack album. I vaguely even remember seeing stickers on
EXTD= a few LPs back then saying something to the effect of "Featuring
EXTD= the hit "insert song Crockett or Tubbs pursued someone to here" 
EXTD=as heard on Miami Vice". Keeping all that in mind, the small sele
EXTD=ction of songs here is pretty damn good. There is enough of a sam
EXTD=pling of Jan Hammer's original works to bring about memories of h
EXTD=earing it on the show without boring the people that find instrum
EXTD=entals to be inadequate. "In The Air Tonight" was a show staple, 
EXTD=and since it wasn't much of a hit when it was originally released
EXTD=, more people identified it with Miami Vice in 1985 than with Phi
EXTD=l Collins's first solo album "Face Value". Same goes for Glenn Fr
EXTD=ey's "Smuggler's Blues". His album "The Allnighter" wasn't gettin
EXTD=g that much attention, but when this song became the theme music 
EXTD=for the Miami Vice episode of the same name which featured an app
EXTD=earance by the former Eagle, it became an instant hit. "You Belon
EXTD=g To The City" Frey actually wrote for the TV show, and since Fre
EXTD=y was on MCA, the licencing complications for this album were avo
EXTD=ided. It also became one of Frey's biggest solo hits. I don't rem
EXTD=ember the Chaka Kahn, Tina Turner, or Grandmaster Melle Mel songs
EXTD= being used in the show, which more than anything is probably jus
EXTD=t an indication of my musical tastes at 15. Even though I don't r
EXTD=emember it being in the show, "Vice" is certainly fitting, and th
EXTD=e other tracks jump out and scream 1985 mainstream. Listening to 
EXTD=this album, much like catching an episode of Miami Vice being sho
EXTD=wn in syndication, brings back good memories of a much different 
EXTD=time. A time when cops could still be the good guys, pop music co
EXTD=uld still be enjoyed by everyone, and had a place on prime time n
EXTD=etwork television. Considering it's usually budget price, this al
EXTD=bum is certainly worth picking up if you were around to watch Mai
EXTD=mi Vice in 1985, or have become a fan of the show's re-runs.\n\n\n
EXTD=AMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\nMusic from the MTV-influenced televis
EXTD=ion series, January 13, 2002\nReviewer: Lawrance M. Bernabo (The 
EXTD=Zenith City, Duluth, Minnesota)\nAs soon as "Miami Vice" was to N
EXTD=BC as "MTV cops," it was clear music was going to be an integral 
EXTD=part of the show. Rock composer Jon Hammer's theme became a smash
EXTD= hit and because it was a minute long it was used for several yea
EXTD=rs as the official "timer" song for the NBA's three-point shootin
EXTD=g contest. But one of the strengths of the show was the way it co
EXTD=uld integrate songs into its plots; Phil Collin's "In The Air Ton
EXTD=ight" provided the emotional resonance to Sonny Crockett's though
EXTD=ts about his failed marriage as he drove the streets of Miami in 
EXTD=the show's pilot. When Ricardo Tubbs had to gun down the drug lor
EXTD=d father of the woman he loved, the show used Tina Turner's "What
EXTD='s Love Got to Do With It?" They could not possibly have all of t
EXTD=he great songs used to great effect on this disc, and, indeed, th
EXTD=ey do not even try. But then, most of those songs are available e
EXTD=lsewhere. Here you get "Smuggler's Blues" and "You Belong To The 
EXTD=City" by Glenn Frey as the standout songs, along with what proves
EXTD= to be an inadequate sampling of Hammer's original music. Still, 
EXTD=this soundtrack album does give a true sense of the musical style
EXTD= of the show, although if you never watched "Miami Vice," you can
EXTD=not fully appreciate this album.\n\n\nAMAZON.COM CUSTOMER REVIEW\n
EXTD=A Picture of the Early Miami Vice Days, April 18, 2000\nReviewer:
EXTD= "cloudlio" (Sao Paulo - SP - Brazil)\nTense and intense lifestyl
EXTD=es, inner dramas, what would be Miami Vice without its music? We 
EXTD=were then in the videoclip days and in the highest manifestation 
EXTD=of the eighties in television. For now, Miami Vice may be not mor
EXTD=e than TV history, but surely was hard to make a good cops show a
EXTD=fter. Hopefully, in time, the show may be remembered not as a fas
EXTD=hion that passed, but as an incredible source of ideas, language,
EXTD= and television pop art. Like it or not, Vice is unique.\nAnd wha

EXTD=Jan Hammer as a bad guy, and well... he surpasses the heroes. Unf
EXTD=ortunatelly this extended version has a remix version not release

EXTD=n Don Johnson acting... "The Original Miami Vice Theme" alone sho
EXTD=ws the Vice world in a minute's glance (despite of being almost i
EXTD=mperceptibly different from the original show version). The voice
EXTD= of Tina Turner in "Better Be Good to Me" personalizes Gina, Trud
