4.0 out of 5 stars
Much like the movie...,
By
This review is from: Miami Vice Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (U.S. Version) (Audio CD)
As fans of his movies will know, Michael Mann treats music as a fundamental tool in his movies to enhance and (at times) subvert the atmosphere of each scene. As such, those who liked the movie (and I count myself as one) will like this album. Smooth electronica mingles at times with heavily distorted power chords and at others soulful vocals. Taken together with the gentle but insistent beats of the soundtrack comprising the last four tracks, it is like listening to an audiobook of some of the more memorable scenes.
Stand outs are the mesmeric "One of These Mornings", "Anthem" and "Sinnerman", the evocative "Pennies in my Pocket" and (for me the highlight) "A-500", the slick groove that accompanied the flight to the Domenican Republic - the chord progression sounds like a homage to "Crockett's Theme". Those of you who like electronica and ambient music generally will also find things to like about the album, though perhaps the less said about the nu-metal cover of "In the Air Tonight" the better... One warning - the two Audioslave tracks that stand out in the movie do not appear on this soundtrack, on account of the band's impending new album. Nor does "Numb/Encore"...but to be honest if you can't find a copy of that somewhere, you're not trying hard enough.

2.0 out of 5 stars
missing most of the key songs from the film,
By la_pretzel (Cambridge) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Miami Vice Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (U.S. Version) (Audio CD)
This album is okay as far as it goes... but, alas, that's not very far at all. As with the Jarhead OST, this is a soundtrack album that fails to include the key track featured in the trailer, in this case the Jay-Z/Linkin Park collaboration from the opening scene. The new stuff from Audioslave is also sadly lacking. You do get a fair bit of Moby (I think there may be an official quota for obligatory Moby content in film soundtracks), a decent Nina Simone remix, and an okay nu-metal cover of In The Air Tonight, but that's about it. Which is, frankly, a bit cheeky.
4.0 out of 5 stars
Very solid soundtrack,

This review is from: Miami Vice Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (MP3 Download)
A good collection of tracks, the only thing missing is that it doesn't feature the title track which is a shame.
