I had heard only one track fromt his album before buying and I can say with certainty after only a few days, it's already my favourite. A real 5* album that's well worth buying !

Every Monday week night the last regular show before the late news is "CSI:MIAMI", featuring the characters dreamed up by producer Jerry Bruckheimer ~ this review is about the music that brings everything together on the Emmy Award winning CBS Broadcasting Network new hot series "CSI:Miami", with an outstanding cast of actors and their characters ~ but the music is the topping we've come to hear.

To start this collections is the opening theme to the series "WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN", performed by The Who, an extended version of eight minutes and thirty two seconds of pure energy that grabs you right from the start ~ "GABRIEL", performed by Lamb is a 2001 hit with all the ingredients for a drifting soul experience ~ "THE MASTERPLAN", with Oasis from 1995 gives the listener the same thrill it had in the late '90s ~ "HAYLING", performed by FC Kahuna in 2002 gives the pulse sating beat that gets completely in your head and stays there ~ "INVISIBLE PEDESTRIAN", performed by Bent from 1999 lays all the evidence before you ~ "SATELLITES", performed by Doves from 2002 is a haunting theme with arrangements of pure delight ~ "FOREVER AND A DAY", with Ian Brown from 2001 mixed with a group from the U.K. ~ "GONNA MAKE IT THERE", performed by Baxter from 2002 on a Warner Music Sweden label, flows very well with electronic mixes that give it more flavor to the listener.

So there you have it, the score that gives the fan just what they wanted and more ~ this is a must have for all "film-score-buffs" to sink their teeth into ~ good to see Pete Townsend had a hand in this project ~ sit back close your eyes and spin this CD, you're in for some special entertainment...gotta love it!

Total Time: 74:46 on 14 Tracks ~ Hip-O Records 14277 ~ (6/29/2004)

If you love the show, you will love the music.

I liked the CD fairly well, but it was more like listening to a radio station than a soundtrack. I liked the songs, but it wasn't really too special, not something I would run and tell my friends about. If you like the show, or CD's of mixed music types, you'll probably enjoy it.
