I just got the double MV Hammer cd. Funny a friend from here burned it for me and when I ripped it to media player it knew the cd's and the songs. And this is from a burned CD, don't know how that happened?Anyway I have more songs to add to my list. PaybackEvanone I haven't seen on here, "Theresa"Shadow in the DarkThough I love them all!

Sorry, this isn't exactly the topic, but related. I'm just listening to Payback now. Does anyone hear in there heads, and no I'm not a "wing nut" lol....but seriously, when I hear this I can picture Crockett showing his badge , the words and putting his guns in the draw. I see this one better than most. Though I can see and hear a bit on "The Talk" too. Just wanted to know if anyone else gets this when listening to certain Hammer songs.

The song "Runaround" always reminds me of the scene in Little Prince when Crockett is waiting for the kid at the polo match.

Cool , so MV86 and Prodigal Sonny you both can hear and see the scene in your head when you hear certain songs. I'd love to hear the songs and scenes like you said. And that would be posting more of Jan's work..thanks I appreciate it, so I'm not a nutter...lol....

Milk Run "Rain" also love the instrumental at the beginning of Viking Bikers From Hell and the instrumental in One Way Ticket when the Assistant DA gets whacked at the wedding

The "Viking Bikers" music is on Dadrian's "to do" list but he's still searching for a few of the correct sounds before he does it and the "Bought & Paid For" rape theme is almost finished.

Just like to mention the opening score in Indian Wars, as it hasn't been mentioned yet. I thought that was really good and really added to the whole teaser, which was excellent.
