Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Like the film itself, the soundtrack to Miami Vice is no 1980s retro-ride. Sure, it opens with "In the Air Tonight," but it's a cover by nĂ¼ metal band Nonpoint taken from their 2004 album Recoil. Director Michael Mann's slick revisionist aesthetics are confirmed on two types of tracks. First, there are the dancefloor-friendly ones like "One of These Mornings" (a collaboration between Moby and Patti Labelle) and a house remix of Nina Simone's "Sinnerman" by Felix da Housecat. Then there are the more atmospheric offerings, such as a couple instrumentals by Scottish band Mogwai and the last four tracks, that suggest the kind of steel-blue ambiance Mann is so good at creating (especially John Murphy's "Mercado Nueva" and Klaus Badelt & Mark Batson's "A-500"). Odder is the lack of local flavor: there's only a pair of Latin-flavored tracks, Arranca and Emilio Estefan, for instance. Not to mention that if ever there was a soundtrack that should have included at least one Miami bass song, it's this one. As for those who still associate Miami Vice with pastel colors and the 1980s, they're better off checking out the soundtrack to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City--a video game that's actually more faithful to the spirit of the TV series than the movie that bears its name. --Elisabeth Vincentelli

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Tracks missing from soundtrack album ?
Enjoyed the flick, just dissapointed that some tracks heard througout the movie are ommitted and others added.

Can anyone tell me the name /title of the track playing after patti labelle's song during the credits at the end of the film ? Please !!!!! Its an instrumental track. And a haunting sounding melody.

I would appreciate it.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Miami Vice Soundtrack
This is the first time I have ordered a conpact disk from Amazon.com.
I must say, I was extremely disappointed in the quality of the music on this CD. I originally had this sound track on tape and enjoyed it very much. However when I placed this CD in the player, I thought I had the wrong CD. The music was over-run with background noise. The quality and frequency range was the lowest I have ever heard on a compact disc. I am still looking for this, but will try to purchase it from a retail ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Miami Vice
Excellent tracks, the CD totally gets the feeling of the movie. If you liked the movie, you will like this OST, too.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Drop the techno beats and you have a winner!
I loved the movie and true to Michael Mann directed films, there was great music. The problem is that while the movie has instrumentals of some hauntingly great music, the CD always has some kind of techno/electronic beat and/or bass line that takes away from the music in the film. "One of these mornings," "The anthem," and another song I can't remember suffer from this mishap. Don't get me wrong, I still love the songs and listen to them often, but the change from movie to soundtrack is kind of...well...not ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great
If you liked the movie, you will like this. But even people that haven't seen the movie, hearing it at my place, appreciate it. As with (almost all) albums not 100% is great but I'd say a good 85% is. I have been listening to it for weeks on end now and am not bored with the creative rythms, melodies and jazzy vocals yet.
