Wow, what a great site. First, the NOVA track from Snapshots 1.2 is brilliant, and reason enough to get the CD. The music videos were terrific, I hadn't seen most of that stuff before. Miami Vice Theme, with Jan himself acting in the video, Crockett's Theme (although I was surprised the video had non MV-actors in it), Crockett's Theme Live, Tubbs And Valerie with Jan playing, Too Much To Lose with David Gilmour, Jeff Beck and Ringo Starr!!!, and the Drive video from 1994. This stuff isn't even on youtube.
The video interviews were very good too, most of them from around the Miami Vice time, but also a great 11 minute clip from the Beyond The Mind's Eye movie premiere, and one from the Drive release.
The only irritating thing was in the archive section, all those printed interviews which are placed inside small frames that must constantly be moved around to be able to read it all.
Lots of music mp3's too, I haven't been able to listen to it all yet.
Btw, here is Hammer's newest one. Is this originally a theme from Miami Vice?
