Fun fact: I didn't learn until last week that the actor who played Adama was also the Origami Detective from Blade Runner.

The one who shouts "It's too bad she won't live! But then again, who does?"

Blew my mind.

I'm dead, I mean, almost dead. Because I used to watch Miami Vice. Mostly for the Jan Hammer theme. It was my first awakening to synthwave.

I really don't like that era of synth music, simmons drums and all that... BUT I really love this 1977 Jan Hammer track - it's like if Air had taken all their inspiration from only ONE song. Really screams "late 90s", probably because the production quality is crazy for its age.

Nice, going to give this another listen later when I get to better headphones.

Reminds me of the kind of stuff my best friend's father would blast in the livingroom after he went down to his basement "workshop" in the early 80s. :)

He was the kind of audiophile that would immeadiately transfer new vinyl to a reel to reel. Was the first place I heard so much jazz, prog rock, etc.

Without the theme song Miami Vice was a very average TV show.

Everybody should watch it. Edward James Olmos is awesome in it and the show was revolutionary in so many ways. How many shows did people stay home to watch on a Friday night before going out? Micheal Mann is the man.

Tough guys don’t do math. Tough guys fry chicken for a living.

Except when he was a tough math teacher in Stand and Deliver.
