Dadrian Posted March 7, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2009 very true, cig. also "home by the sea" by genesis would have been great in phil the shill when he buys the house. i may have already mentioned this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcm8002204 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 John SerrieI happened onto 'Sound Scapes' on Music-Choice channels today and heard a tune I could have sworn had definite Hammer tones, very reminiscent of 'Stake Out' THe track was called "Valley of the Nacoochee" by John Serrie. Not sure whether other artists (Tim Truman, etc.) have had tracks played on that subscriber-based music channel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dadrian Posted March 31, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 speaking of john taylor, duran duran has recently released a documentary about "rio" on the classic albums dvd series.its very insightful. i recommend it to any 80s music fan.http://www.tower.com/duran-classic-albums-rio-dvd/wapi/112475433 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcm8002204 Posted March 31, 2009 Report Share Posted March 31, 2009 http://www.tower.com/duran-classic-albums-rio-dvd/wapi/112475433Didn't they have a doc called Sing Blue Silver way way back...it was somewhat of a 'we're as big as the Beatles' show....I always thought that 'New Religion' would have been a great MV tune...that bass line just plain rips...

Dadrian Posted April 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 i'm not sure about the blue silver thing, but i agree about new religion. save a prayer is the highlight of this record for me, at least musically.btw-the entire album is drenched with the Roland Jupiter-8 synthesizer that Jan Hammer used on so many mv tunes, like Crockett's theme and buddies.

rodriguezisdead Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yiNqwEAtpkmaybe it's because they used a couple of synths in this song like jan hammer's:you can hear the Yamaha DX7 playing that repeating phrase in the intro ("night talk" sound), and check out those orchestra hit samples from the Fairlight CMI at 3:03 (jan used a variation of this sample in many cues, as you will easily recognize). Check out my "Jan Hammer for Dummies" post in "dadrian's corner" of the forum, if you haven't already, for pics and more info on these synths:http://www.miami-vice.ws/showthread.php?t=832thanks!!OK this is about 20 years too late of course as U2's latest album only came out recently - but one track on the album sounds like it could have been used on MV - it's called 'Moment of Surrender' and is my current favourite tune - on repeat all the time in my car wherever I'm driving - it is awesome - could've been used in several scenes I guess in MV - not least when Burnett regains his memory and walks into OCB in Redemption in Blood...Please listen to this track - it is absolutely amazing - and I'm not even a U2 fan ! Sounds a bit like a mix of Dire Straits and Keane... any thoughts??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murphy's Law Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Thanks for posting that link, RID. I love U2, and hadn't heard this song yet. I think you're absolutely right - this song would've been a brilliant fit for Redemption in Blood!Now I will definitely have to buy this CD!

Pandina Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 "At the moment of surrenderI'm falling to my kneesI did not notice the passers byAnd they did not notice me"Love U2 and love this song! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodriguezisdead Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 ""My body's now begging......begging to get backBegging to get backTo my heartTo the rhythm of my soulTo the rhythm of my consciousnessTo the rhythm that yearnsTo be released from control"Then the guitar from 5 mins onwards....wow - mesmerising.

agent 47 Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 I'll give this another shot: (what kinda scene it fits)"Where the Streets Have No Name" - U2 (teaser)"I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" - U2 (final scene before end credits)"Call Me" - Blondie (shootout in a club)"Raptor" - Blondie (boat scene)"Atomic" - Blondie (car or boat chase)"My Clone Sleeps Alone" - Pat Benatar (final shootout before credits)"We Live For Love" - Pat Benatar (another good shootout song)"Learning To Fly" - Pink Floyd (opening teaser)"Space Age Love Song" - Flock Of Seagulls (boat chase)"Rainfall" - Flock Of Seagulls (scene where Crockett and Tubbs follow somebody on foot or in car)"Gold" - Spandau Ballet (really emotional powered shootout)"Kids In America" - Kim Wilde (car chase) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodriguezisdead Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 Just heard Simply Red's 'Do the Right Thing' again after many years on the radio - I thought 'man that track would've sounded great on the Vice!' - not sure what ep/scene - plenty to choose from though in principle where Sonny tries to 'do the right thing' - but needs to be an ep which is a bit 'lighter', in tune with the rhythm of the song I think.

Dadrian Posted August 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 here's an entire cd with 10 straigt vice-worthy songs. i can't say that for any other cd that i've found. all ten songs!!"Shabooh Shoobah" by INXS (1982)don't be fooled by the cover :)listen to the samples:http://www.amazon.com/Shabooh-Shoobah-INXS/dp/B000002JJYi'd even go as far to say that if there was no jan hammer, the ferris brothers could have made a great mv score!

Dadrian Posted August 26, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2009 I wish they had used even more Peter Gabriel songs: "Security"' date=' I believe, is the most "Miami Vice" album ever.[/quote']i just got "security" today. wow! i wish i had this all along. GREAT. thanks for the tip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadrian Posted September 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2009 here's one that could have worked on many scenes of "el viejo": the verses remind me of "white stuff" from "prodigal son". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundstory Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 'Give me tonight' by Shannon would have been a good track to fit in somewhere in an episode' date=' I find.[/quote']A great tune overshadowed by Let The Music Play Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundstory Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 here's a should-have-been from 1983:Robert Plant - "In The Mood" (click)this gets really miami vice at about 3:07 (the song' date=' not the video). check it out.[/quote']You could add Big Log or Tall Cool One too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EasyED Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I also like Tears for Fears and would suggest these from them.Everybody wants to rule the world: Shout: Mad world: I agree with you...Shout would definitely fit in...especially the solo at 4:44...either the daytona or testarossa at night accelerating...C&T in a hurry to save somebody from getting wacked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cigarette Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Feel The HeatGreat 80s song, the sound and lyrics! Should have been on Miami Vice!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VH8kl-RqcM&feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EasyED Posted December 12, 2009 Report Share Posted December 12, 2009 Even though this track is made 2009 I think it would fit in good...funny thing, I read about from what/where Fever Ray gets their artistic inspiration and they named Miami Vice! among many others...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iBVkq-V3jg0especially from 3:08... It would fit great into a teaser and at 3:36 for an south american episode Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
