Rating:  - Second Great Miami Vice Album
I first bought Miami Vice and Miami Vice II albums as cassettes when I was driving over the road and only later went to CDs. Like the first Miami Vice collection, this one is not perfect, and many quality songs are missing, like Foreigner's "I want to know what love is", and Ted Nugent's fabulous and still hard-to-get "Little Miss Dangerous". Still, this album provides a wide array of great and rarely heard performances: Steve Jones' haunting "Mercy", Gladys Knight's "Send it to me", Phil Collins' "Take me Home", Patti LaBelle with Bill Champlin singing their powerful duet, "The Last Unbroken Heart", Roxy Music's rare and soulful "Lover", Andy Taylor's equally infrequent but hard-driving "When The Rain Comes Down", and Jackson Browne's protest song over American involvement in Central America, "Lives in the Balance" (which I find wrong-headed, but a wonderful song nonetheless. Even Marx said one could not take the politics of artists seriously.). The range of sentiments covered in this album makes it perhaps better than the first Miami Vice album, but more offbeat. The best strategy in any case is to listen to the two one after the other. Other collections exist, but none have the concentration of standout performances that one finds in Miami Vice and Miami Vice II.
Rating:  - Great collection of tunes from the show, but...........
It's missing "Voices" by Russ Ballard and "Ship of Fools" by Robert Plant. The first album disappointed me by not including "Girls with Guns" by Tommy Shaw and "I've Got a New Girl Now" by Honeymoon Suite.
Rating: - Style is also great to listen to
NOTE: Though this may appear to be a long review, keep in mind it is designed for those who want to know nearly everything about this product. Thank you.
Miami Vice II: New Music From The Television series "Miami Vice" was the second of its kind. Rather confusingly, Miami Vice II covers songs from both the show's second and third season, not just the second, as the title seems to suggest. Rather, the "II" designates it as the second soundtrack. Complicating matters more is the fact that the VHS for the second season opener is also called "Miami Vice II", and this album would seem to be the accompanying soundtrack. It actually does include some songs from the two-hour second season premiere episode, but it goes beyond that as well.
Miami Vice II opens perfectly with the whispery, shadowy "Mercy" by former Sex Pistols(!) guitarist Steve Jones. Serious and moody, the song is the musical equivalent of the visual shift to darker colors in the show at the time of this album's release. It's a great opener for the album and a great song as well. It appeared in the third season episode "Stone's War".
The next track is "Send It To Me" by Gladys Knight and the Pips. Unlike "Mercy", which appeared on another additional album apart from Vice II (Jones's 1987 solo debut), "Send It To Me" is unique to this album. Interestingly, it is never heard in the series. "Send It To Me" is a bit brighter than the first song and eases you into the album more. But it is no less ... Read More
Rating: - Nice
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.
Rating: - A CD That Outlasted The T.V. Series
Seeing Miami Vice in re-runs really made me wonder what I saw in the T.V. show in the first place. The music from the T.V. show is a different story. I originally bought this sound track for Andy Taylor's "When The Rain Comes Down". After hearing the entire CD I was quite surprised that it transcended my expectations. A nice merge of divergent music styles.
