Matt5 Posted June 28, 2018 Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 More of the new album on iTunes pre-release with snippets from each song. I can hear Season 3s “Baby Blues” theme in the newly released April as well as a variation of “Rico’s Blues” in the new Cyclone on a quick scan through. All sounds good.

Dadrian Posted June 28, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2018 The only other MV sound I heard besides what Matt mentioned is the use of the Memorymoog pad on the “Latin Suite” snip while the acoustic guitar sound is playing. Jan used that patch from that synth on virtually every episode of MV he scored. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Overall it’s quite piano/ guitar-laden what little I can hear and his most Vice work since “Snapshots” in 1989 omitting 2002s “Complete Collection” of course.

Matt5 Posted July 3, 2018 Report Share Posted July 3, 2018 (edited) Is the new Jan Hammer album “Seasons” (Part 1) only released as a download as I cannot see any listing under vinyl or cd for the new album on Amazon.com or the Amazon sites in Europe? Thought odd as release is only 2.5 weeks away?. Edited July 3, 2018 by Matt5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 The lead single “Miami Night” from the new album out 7/20. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco Falcone Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 IT MUST BE BOUGHT!!! With real money!!! Even if I listen it to it one time and decide I don’t care for the songs and never listen to it again, it’s Jan Hammer’s new album! Here’s my why: 1. He is the creator of the greatest soundtrack to the greatest TV show of all time. (Reason enough to drop a few dollars into the Man’s bank account.) 2. There are numerous threads with countless posts about cajoling, praying, begging Mr. Hammer to release the still “unreleased” cues and tunes from the greatest TV show of all time in some type of “album” form. Which added together COULD equal... Some way for the members of this Forum (with a capital “F”) to be a large enough, specialized enough group of buyers to get Mr. Hammer’s attention and then make the humble request for the “Final Release” (no not like in some back-alley Miami massage parlor) of those last, great bits of the greatest soundtrack from the greatest TV show ever? Maybe it’s a pipe dream. Maybe I used too many parentheses. (Likely from too much Black Jack on the rocks.) But... Maybe. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 So tomorrow is the day 7/20... I cannot see anywhere, amazon.com, European amazon sites, amazon Japan, a physical cd or vinyl release for this album. Looks like it’s only a digital release / streaming. I wonder why that is ? Costs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt5 Posted July 21, 2018 Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 (edited) The new Jan Hammer album “Seasons” (Part 1) is out now and selling well, the Cd version is sold out on Amazon.com - here is a quite comprehensive review of the release. .http://somethingelsereviews.com/2018/07/17/jan-hammer-seasons-pt-1-2018/ Edited July 21, 2018 by Matt5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Ferrariman Posted July 21, 2018 Administrators Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 Just listened to the sample clips of the album and the tune "April" is easily recognizable as the main theme from the season 3 episode "Baby Blues" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators James Posted July 21, 2018 Administrators Report Share Posted July 21, 2018 I listened to it on Spotify, it is distinctively Jan Hammer and has his signature sound all over it, but I personally didn't enjoy it much, at least not as much as I expected to. Felt like something was missing. A few songs were good though, I saved them to another playlist. Not sure if it's something I'd listen to in full again though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I listened to the samples of the tunes on Amazon. I was mostly interested because of the MV sound/vibe. And yes there are some good tunes. With a part 1, who knows maybe there will be a part 2 album?

I’ve ordered the Cd version there is a slight delay as cd version sold out on amazon. com and some reputable eBay sellers have the new version for around $15. For an album as important as this it’s nice to have an “in-hand” copy and there is no mention at all of a vinyl release. I notice the album is released by Country and Eastern Music they released Snapshots 1.2 by JH in 2000 as well as The Complete Collection by JH in 2002 and Best of Miami Vice JH album in 2004. -so far I like what I hear of this album - some really Miami Vice sounding tunes.
