Free Music Notes for Miami Vice Album
Free Music Review: Nothing memorable, doesn't have the movie's opening song
Hit: 2 Stars
Considering how much of a perfectionist and realist Michael Mann supposedly is, I was quite surprised in the first 5 minutes of the film when (a) the volume as Numb/Encore immediately hits you doesn't make you jump out of your seat; (b) the DJ in the club does an absolutely awful job of mixing one song to the next (I'm a mobile/party DJ in my spare time).
Now it turns out that the Linkin Park/Jay Z tune, the one ALL OVER the trailers and ads, isn't even ON the soundtrack (of course, those taglines about being afraid of violence and foreboding and badness happening right now didn't make the flick either).
Jan Hammer wasn't asked to provide any music for the movie, but composer Murphy attempts (feebly) to acknowledge the 80's icon's legacy (one piece lifts a couple of chords from "Crockett's Theme").
Mann abandons the success he had in marrying familiar songs to dialog-free vistas in the TV show (and in his movies - remember In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida), instead choosing fairly anonymous/generic (c)rap metal that adds little to the atmosphere of the film. This is summed up less by the inclusion of a bludgeoned cover of the series' most famous accompaniment ("In The Air Tonight") than by the name of the hack band performing it. Was there a POINT to the choice of this music? NON!
