Leigh Burne Posted September 9, 2021 Report Share Posted September 9, 2021 I went to Phoenix and Las Vegas about ten years ago and it was pushing 100, but it was so bone dry it honestly wasn't that bad. You could just sweat the heat off. If it ever got to 100 here in the UK people would be dying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought some people have meant that in a sardonic way, but I also think there's some truth to it. I was in Las Vegas 20 years ago, but it was a few days past Christmas, so no such heat like that. Now Arizona I'd avoid, but I'd take my chances (and like it!) with a summer in Vegas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eillio Martin Imbasciati Posted September 13, 2021 Report Share Posted September 13, 2021 YouTube offered me "Candy" on a mix list (I always accept candy when it's offered), and now I have it on a playlist. I've never heard this super Jan Hammer instrumental outside the show, so this is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took a vacation back to my home state of Michigan in July and I had forgotten about "humidity". My clothing felt like they were stuck to my body the whole time I was there. I was much more comfortable when I got back to Nevada. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I think Nevada's nice, I'd like to try it out at its most extreme someday (my mother thought back in the day that I couldn't handle a place like Florida, but I've discovered that I can take the heat). I'm still not keen on Arizona though, but I do like their stance on Daylight Savings Time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eillio Martin Imbasciati Posted September 15, 2021 Report Share Posted September 15, 2021 A couple more of Jan Hammer's that I've added to a YouTube playlist (still on #21; I'll have a Blackjack! Once I reach 100, I create a new playlist) are "Runaround" (I'm preparing myself for some of life's hard falls) and "Out for Thai" (I like Thai, skinny tie, and like Homer Simpson once asked, I also like shirt). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to ask, because, you know...), but I hope they're still together, as they seem like a good couple). From this song, I ended talking to her about the song "Masquerade" by Berlin (I like both the offbeat & mainstream music of Berlin, from "A Matter of Time" to "Heartstrings" ("Spaceballs"!), so I did enjoy sharing that bit of info with her back in the day. But this song (and its remaster) I find excellent in its own right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDragon86 Posted November 24, 2021 Report Share Posted November 24, 2021 (edited) @Dadrian I have always wondered when they pick a pop/rock song for a particular scene is it Jan who fit's it into place, the timing etc or somebody else? This particular song fit's perfectly at the end of "Heart of Darkness" like a glove. Edited November 24, 2021 by RedDragon86 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you all the way RedDragon86, perfect fit (are these gloves by any chance Isotoner gloves, because those gloves take care of the hands that take care of us!); like how I feel "Closer to Heaven" works so well for the climax of 'Red Tape', this song does the same for the bar scene in 'Heart of Darkness'. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not sure “who” was responsible in the editing process, but I do know those songs (chosen by Fred Lyle) were already in place when Jan received the reels awaiting his contribution—hence, Jan’s obvious inspiration for the score sometimes (like his drums in No Exit and his shakuhachi in Better Living). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, the reggae music really worked for me; I wouldn't have minded at all if they kept on going with it (not much of it after Season 2 except for "What is Life", and I feel that 'The Big Thaw' episode as a whole has a sound reggae vibe). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheisenburg Posted December 5, 2021 Report Share Posted December 5, 2021 Been listening to some some DeBarge, a song called "You Wear It Well" that was featured in the episode "Bought And Paid For" during the Second Season.

Up until now, I thought that piece was Jan's scoring. Similarly I thought this from Golden Triangle was Jan: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
