Product ReviewsMiami Vice (Original Soundtrack) by Miami Vice / TV O.S.T. (CD, 1990)

Miami Vice Soundtrack

It is a varied selection of artists and genre typical to the eighties period such as Phil Collins, Tina Turner, Glen Frey and Chaka Khan. Some songs vaguely reminiscent of "Beverly Hills Cop", but that is not a bad thing. There is also a great song by Grandmaster Mellie Mel that reflects back to what Rap started out as and sends a message. Jan Hammer shines on this CD. Aside from the original theme song, he captures all of the intensity, drama and darkness of the original Miami Vice series through complex instrumental and intense percussion work. It is great listening on my drive to work in the morning and is almost as good as that first cup of coffee. I still have to pass the coffee machine when I get to work and pause...perhaps I need to pump up the volume!Read full review...

Bring back the memories!

Have had Miami Vice as my main ringtone for a couple years now, but am new to Ebay. Discovered all kinds of "older" CD sellers on Ebay and got a hankerin' for some of the old classic music from this original TV series with Crockett and Tubbs. What I was really looking for was the "Evan" theme which was not on iTunes. This CD is the only way to go (vs. iTunes) because it has two other songs on it which I didn't see on iTunes either that are must haves for reminiscing on the old TV show: Flashback and Chase - two great, mood-setting pieces. Had forgotten Vice, but as soon as I heard it from the CD, it was so neat - even remember the words from 25 years ago! Enjoy, especially if you liked this show.
(Sound quality isn't as deep as newer, all digital music these days, but hey, it was recorded in the early to mid-80's - they didn't have the technology they do today, so just be aware of that when buying).Read full review...

Great music from the iconic '80s show

Nice mix of music from the show, with Jan Hammer's instrumental music pieces, Glenn Fry's "Smuggler's Blues" and, of course, Phil Collins iconic "In The Air Tonight." Put on your white suit jacket and pastel t-shirt and enjoy.Read full review...

Great Memories in one small CD

All the tracts are great. Close your eyes and you are transportee back to your TV when the series was popular. They don't make music like this anymore.

This is aa classic. Lucky to find this CD. The BIG sound of the whole orchestra is in this music and you can turn it all the way up. If the music today is going to blow the ears off of the listener, join the group and go out with some great sounds banging around in your skull. I think that this is when the Tyko drum became popular. And are still popular today. When you find a jewel like this, and already know that the artist is great. No question, grab it and listen to it untill the grooves wear down. No grooves ? Well then it will take longer won't it. This is the way to go!Read full review...

Made me want to put on my Don Johnson jacket! ;-)

This has got the Miami Vice theme, and Smuggler's Blues - these two songs alone are worth the price of admission! :)

Then there's "You Belong to the City" and "In the Air Tonight" thrown in for good measure.

Note that the song list on the back of the cd has the songs in the incorrect order, but the list inside the cd (cleverly made to look like they were hand-written) are in the correct order ... at least in my copy (maybe they fixed it in later printings?)Read full review...

Serves the purpose,I wanted one or two songs from CD

i always watched the series and wanted music from the series.........That's it!No surprises ,just the various sounds from the many artists that contributed to the overall mood the the Miami Vice show provided. It's a special moment in TV history for the adventure and intrigue provided by the Michael Mann touch. In the late 80's a new kind of cop was born on the silver screen. Cool, fast driving, slick dressing policemen.Honest and tough guys who were trying to do the right thing.Ever changig characters but the same evil that even today has grown beyond ones imagination.....The Drug Game.What can I say. If you are down by law you know that it's the same ole thing. Get high!Read full review...

Having servered in the Army combat arms branch a few of the musical cuts are riverating and indellible
