I first got this on LP and listened to it often. I later got it on CD because it is a classic soundtrack and an essential piece for an 80's music collection.
Almost half the tracks on here are instrumental, but all of them are great. Most people probably bought this CD for the first track (The Original Miami Vice Theme). "Miami Vice" is an extended remix of the original theme and is also good. "Evan" and "Flashback" are softer tunes, which are also enjoyable. But so that one doesn't get to relaxed, "Chase" is set between them and this tune really moves.
The vocal tracks are some classic tunes, as a number of them can be found on other CD's. "In the Air Tonight" is one of Phil Collins' best tunes. It was even remade for the new Miami Vice Move soundtrack. "Smuggler's Blues" & "You Belong to the City" speak clearly about the life portrayed in the Miami Vice series.
"Vice" is rap song, which can teach you one of two things. It's either a prerequisite on what you will deal with as a cop or a it's crash-course for the aspiring gangsta. "Own The Night" is a decent song, but not my favorite. I'm not a big fan of Better Be Good To Me, but liking all but 1 track on a CD is probably a rarity for most people, as I know it is for me.
Few soundtracks have lasted the way this one has. It is a must for the 80's music fan.

I thought this CD was only Jan Hammer themes but find out there are more musics of other people, I would be more happy if this CD were only Jan Hammer musics.

The only problem I have with album is the mastering. I don't know how to explain it, but the CD quality is just low, with low volume compared to new CD's.
But good tunes if you remember when MTV was still cool.

Oh, BlueCross Boss "Blue", your need to appear cutting-edge and "alternative" is more shallow than anything you could ever say about this groundbreaking show and its music. Phil Collins writes for Disney and Pixar now? So-effing-what. The man's in his fifties. What do you want him to do? Slice his chest with glass and sing "I Wanna be your Dog"? What does Glenn Frey know about smuggling? Oh, I don't know - how `bout the metric tons of blow he did in the 70s and 80s? Street cred enough for ya? You are a culture snob. Ain't nothing wrong with left-of-the-dial, but you've got to have balance. So "Vice" isn't up your alley - that doesn't mean you have to take a p--- all over it.
Oh, and by the way, I'll tell you where U2 is. In the episode "Lombard," which wraps up season one, where "Wire" from "The Unforgettable Fire" is featured.

This is the cheesiest music ever. Phil Collins, Glenn Frey, Chaka Khan? Are you kidding me? These were the worst artists of the 80's. Where's U2, REM, the Pixies, X, the Pretenders, Tom Petty, Prince, Springsteen, the Replacements, Husker Du? Does anyone like Rock and Roll? Phil Collins writes songs for Disney and Pixar now! What did Glenn Frey know about 'Smugglers Blues'? Do you think he was writing from the experience or from the heart? These are the worst artists, songwriters and performers of the 80's. Enjoy the nostalgia, but the art which is song is seriously missing on this CD.
