Matt5 Posted June 11, 2018 Report Share Posted June 11, 2018 1 hour ago, Daytona74 said: Has Jan Hammer ever said if he could imagine converting yet another batch of unreleased cues into published tracks? It's probably a big amount of work involved (and he appears to be a busy guy still these days), he said in an interview a few years ago that he had to reconstruct many of the previously unreleased Complete Collection tracks pretty much from scratch or from the old studio tapes and then run every single one of them through Cubase. Maybe that's something that's not worth the effort all over again for the small fan base of his work on Miami Vice. Here's another track that would have deserved being released IMO... The mid-section of this cue (from 0:40), in its more pared down version from "Golden Triangle" (Tubbs and Castillo checking the Thai restaurants for recent immigrants) was my phone ringtone for some time, about 13 years ago... I always liked this version from Season 2s "Payback" and the quality of this piece is extremely good - I also have this version on my phone but not as a ringtone! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to turn that "maybe" into like a total "yes". I mean JH has just turned 70. Edited June 11, 2018 by Matt5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I understand you correctly that the problem is that you can't find ready-made Miami Vice ringtones on the web. My ringtone nowadays is still "Made For Each Other" by Junkie XL and Jan Hammer. That guitar riff is just really pretty awesome and one of Jan Hammer's best-ever Edited June 11, 2018 by Daytona74 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thankyou for posting - the “Dorothy’s Theme” from Buddies, also from Season 4s Deliver us from Evil and Season 3s Forgive is our Debts, is fantastic !

You don't mean the "Jan Hammer Project feat. TQ" version though, do you?

The “Crockett’s Theme” version Dadrian and I mentioned was released in 2004 on Jan Hammer’s “Best of Miami Vice “ cd.

Daytona74 Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 oh ok... I wasn't really aware of a 2004 version... Just had a listen to it on youtube... yeah... there's just a few things off about it... it just doesn't compare to the original. Here's another cue that would have been good for a released track of its own... I think it was used to the most effect in "Evan", where it underscored Evan's emotionally volatile character as a man on the brink... I also like this cue... really pared down, just a Linn and a few Fairlight harmonies in the background... Also, just randomly found this on youtube... somebody using a very similar drum pattern to create his own Vice-style track... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted June 12, 2018 Report Share Posted June 12, 2018 The guy in the last video there is a friend of mine. He has all the synthesizers Jan used for Miami Vice, yet uses none of them in that video (except for the Linn). He’s a nice man, and has a great YouTube channel—very inspiring to me! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) The “French Twist” cue is nearly 4 minutes long ..,. the beat is that like a bossa nova? This theme was all over this episode.
