5.0 out of 5 stars If you don't want the uncertainty , November 6, 2004

By	John D. Mcfadden - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

...of the marketplace, since Amazon is sold out of this as I write, go to www.janhammer.com and you'll have it in a week!

I've been a loyal Amazon customer for seven years but they let me down on this one. I spent two months waiting for Amazon marketplace when I could have had it right away.

5.0 out of 5 stars Miami Vice: The Complete Collection . . .Well, Almost!, September 17, 2002

By	Kevin (Pittsburgh, PA) - See all my reviews

Miami Vice: The Complete Collection . . .Well, Almost! If you are a child of the 80's, and/or simply a fan of Miami Vice, this is one CD you must add to your collection.
Jan Hammer's unique music score, which helped define the fast paced, high energy and completely fashionable series,Miami Vice, comes alive in this CD packed with over 40 pieces.
Listening to this collection will have you longing for those Friday nights of yesteryear on NBC at 10:00 . . .waiting to see Sonny Crockett take chase in his black Daytona Spider and awaiting the sound of Ricardo Tubb's shotgun in an altercation with drug dealers!
This CD is packed, not only with pieces from classic episodes such as "Payback", "Out Where the Busses Don't Run", "Home Invaders" and "No Exit",but is also accompanied with memories of the television show which helped define the 1980s.
The CD's only downfall is that it does not include several scores from episodes such as, and in particular, "Buddies" and "Little Miss Dangerous", as well as certain pieces heard in "Payback", "Calderone's Return: Part II" and "Golden Triangle". With any luck, and with constant requests, maybe Mr. Hammer will release these someday as well. ( We can only hope!!)
This CD is excellent! Trust me!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Long Awaited Masterpiece, July 15, 2002

By	Marc Loren - See all my reviews

Miami Vice: The Complete Collection is a powerful monument to composer Jan Hammer's groundbreaking soundtrack to one of television's most memorable series. With over two hours of music, the two compact discs feature 42 memorable cuts, including 22, which have never been released to the public before. Miami Vice redefined television and Jan Hammer's soundtrack completely redefined the way in which shows were scored. The result was a chart-topping commercial success never before seen from a television soundtrack and international acclaim for series and composer alike.

While there have been other Miami Vice albums in the past, fans have long hoped for this expanded collection and, in resounding fashion, Hammer does not fail to deliver. The old favorites, such as the original "Miami Vice Theme" and "Crockett's Theme", are all there but the real payoff is a complete disc, 22 tracks, of previously unreleased gems such as "The Talk", surely one of Hammer's finest compositions from his three and a half years scoring Miami Vice. The end result of it all is a totally wonderful musical experience.

Even after several listenings it continues to amaze me just how many memorable tracks there are and really, when you think about it, it is amazing that anyone could fill two CDs with great music from any television series. Hammer has the most incredible gift for mood and melody and his music stands tall even without the visual components it was written to accompany.

Whether you are a fan of Miami Vice, Jan Hammer, or even if you just enjoy great music, Miami Vice: The Complete Collection delivers the goods.
