Thank you for your reply!

[SoKoFLiKo11]

@SoKoFLiKo11

It's #15 (BONUS TRACK) in "Escape from Television" Album, which includes 13 basic tracks... I found and downloaded it! MANY MANY THAKS man!

[spin467]

That's definitely not a VFX-SD. The display is too small and where are the buttons?

[starbearry]

Is that Madonna doing the voice over?

[WalterB72]

great version .....like it

[The096757]

drumming ruins song.

[viciouswhips]

SO you didn't listen to the track then,but still want an argument?

However you are not intelligent enough for me to argue with, so I suggest you listen to this music track ... and .. chill ..... ahhhh

[PDTchannel]

@viciouswhips Brilliant Discussion!

[viciouswhips]

@PDTchannel

Shame it was a 1 way brilliant discussion, however you couldn't make this stuff up, literally.

[TheKipmetappelmoes]

the best version of the best music ever made...

[damzen]

Never heard the vocals for it before, very nice! =)

[queggy1]

Most of the sounds you hear when listening to "Crockett's Theme" are not from the Fairlight, but from the Jupiter-8, the MemoryMoog and the LinnDrum. The Fairlight doesn't play a big role in this particular piece of music.

[sneakytraxx2010]

culte !!

[nostra2]

when MTV was still MTV :)

[viciouswhips]

@nostra2

when MTV *WAS* MTV (i.e. when it showed brilliant music vids and not the celebrity riddled reality shows you see these days)

love the mix, full respect to the Hammer

[OropherThranduil]

@viciouswhips

WHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHAT

you want to tell me

MusicTeleVision

once showed Music Videos????

[viciouswhips]

@OropherThranduil

"MusicTeleVision once showed Music Videos???"

Yes, the irony.

I get headaches if I watch it now, it makes me angry, like I wanna kill a goldfish or two or set fire to my sofa, or launch bricks at innocent passing pedestrians, stuff like that....

[OropherThranduil]

@viciouswhips

only good thing airing there anymore is south park.

[viciouswhips]

@OropherThranduil

nonsense, you forgot about Malcolm in the middle and popcorn.

[OropherThranduil]

@viciouswhips

i'm from germany, so i'm talking german MTV.

but malcolm sucks.

[viciouswhips]

@OropherThranduil

Germany has MTV??? What???

WHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHAT?

Germany actually broadcasts MTV, are you serious?

[OropherThranduil]

@viciouswhips

yeah, we got MTV since 1997.

and we got our own shitty hosts talking german, we got dubbed versions of family guy, south park and more.

about 50 countrys got their own mtv.

together with sattelites they reach about half a billion households worldwide.

[viciouswhips]

@OropherThranduil

WHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHATWHAT?

are you crazy? 1997?

dubbed versions? satellites? half a billion?

what is going on?

[OropherThranduil]

@viciouswhips

you know, video games are also in 3d since 1996.

and you had 2 bushes on top of the state.

and your dad is darn old now.

[viciouswhips]

@OropherThranduil

Wow! You are so full of information which is sporadic and generalised even though it is concise. However the main supreme factor is that your information is utterly useless, pointless but I'm sure is shreddable.

[OropherThranduil]

@viciouswhips

dude, i was only telling you i was talking about the program of german MTV.

so you're the fucking asshole who thinks he's so S M R T, i mean S M A R T.

[viciouswhips]

@OropherThranduil

Well that didn't take long for you to show your frustrated rage, explode in a fury and advertise yourself to be an idiot by pressing your keys so damn hard they actually hurt.

But what has that got to do with this video : "Jan Hammer - Crockett´s Theme (RARE)" ?

I'm listening to it now, superb track, maybe you should listen too?

[OropherThranduil]

@viciouswhips

you talked about malcolm in the middle and popcorn, which don't air on mtv over here.

so again, i was only telling.

so gu on, shitpickle.

[inbetweentics]

@nostra2

yes! when it still played MUSIC and what's more, COOL music!

[lengchai27]

@nostra2 Yeah...agree. Before it's turned to "pimp TV" and "devilrock TV". In the time of Paul King and the other "old" VJ's.

[Jamiejetsun]

I remember wanting that keyboard stand.

[senorverde09]

He's like, "Look at my bad-ass pony tail."

[TalosIIII]

Wow thats rare!

[myjanuary151987]

An Impeccable song

[PETSH0PB0YS1]

@myjanuary151987 ...this version is last track on Jan Hammer Album...

[SoKoFLiKo11]

@PETSH0PB0YS1

Which Album...? I have "Miami Vice the complete collection" but isn't there...

[dusan0021]

tell me where i can find it!

[thunderbirdsdog]

Thats a DX7 not an VFX.

[tfal23]

You're right.. the small display gave it away.

[tfal23]

The melody line (from the original which is in D-minor):

..DCA.FG..FG....G.FG...FG.FD..­..

[curseme86]

just incredible!!!! looks like an enigma tune too!!!but jan hammer made it nicely!!!

[pexi24]

Finally found this one <3

[BeardyAirways]

The track is available on the UK release of "Escape from TV" and is known as "Crockett's Theme (9mm Mix)". It was remixed back in the day by Il Nitro.

[InstantMix]

Wait , what? Jan appears to be using a different key. Last time I checked , it was DCA , FA ,FA, F FA , FA , F D (low). Where does he get it from?

[lamaneuker2]

yea..

but this is a higher tone..

the official is still the DCA, FA and so on...

I was freaked too...

the chords are also higher played..

if U have a pitch bend, put it on high..

then play the DCA and you'll get this tone

[residentevilgoddess]

where can i get an mp3 of this??? please tell me if u can i NEED it

[thunderbirdsdog]

Does anyone know if it is the DX7 what name of the patch on the lead part.

[tfal23]

He's playing an Ensoniq VFX

[Tittlekopf]

No its a DX7 Mark I

[Tittlekopf]

@Tittlekopf Yes.... you can clearly see the display and voice selection buttons

[MikeTuinstra]

The other music video for this song, remember seeing this version air later on. Haven't seen it ever since, nice one indeed!

[Huskerz007]

First (and only, so far) vid of this I've ever seen with any sort of vocals! :)  Kick ass tune though! (first heard it on GTA: Vice City)

[Ligerpride]

Try the 2006 remix with TQ.

[hecrpd]

jan hammer is always serious about his work.

[jurassicmarcmarc]

Wow, look at how seriously he plays that synth. He's pouring his heart and soul into this song! Or he's looking around to make sure no one is watching...

[fischek]

I think it's Yamaha DX7

[kaledeo]

nice m8!
