Album Description:
From trip-hop to Britpop, downbeat to Latin metal, "CSI: Miami The Soundtrack" is as edgy and evocative as the TV series from which it has been spawned. Not surprisingly then, the CBS show won the 2003 BMI TV Music Award.
Along with one immortal rock band, The Who--whose "Won't Get Fooled Again" is the series theme song opening each episode--the album's most familiar artists are Oasis and Massive Attack. Lamb, one of electronica's most innovative groups, is a downtempo vocals-oriented drum'n'bass duo from Manchester ("Gabriel" is a radio edit of the track on 2001's "What Sound"). Baxter, from Sweden, also combines pop song structures with drum'n'bass, as on "Gonna Make It There" from their 2002 "About This album." Again from Manchester is epic pop trio Doves, whose cheery 2002 album "Last Broadcast" featured "Satellites." Martina Topley Bird is the long-time Tricky diva who made her solo debut on 2003's chill-out "Quixotic," which included "Need One." FC Kahuna elevated the Big Beat in the London club scene and scored with 2002's "Machine Says Yes" and its chill-out hit "Hayling." Bent, much respected in England but unknown beyond dance circles elsewhere, traffics in mid-tempo beats and chilled atmospheres on their 2000 "Programmed To Love debut," which includes "Invisible Pedestrian." Lemon Jelly's downtempo for the new acid generation was heard on 2000's"LemonJelly.KY with "A Tune For Jack." Nitin Sawhney fuses electronica with Indian culture throughout his 2003 album Human, including "Say Hello."
In fact, there are only two American artists on CSI: Miami The Soundtrack: New Jersey-based Latin metal sextet Ill Niño, whose "I Am Loco" graced their 2001 debut "Revolution Revolucíon," and Citizen Cope, whose hypnotic street music, exemplified by "Let The Drummer Kick It," defined its self-titled 2002 album. The "CSI: Miami" characters take pride in thinking outside the box. "CSI: Miami The Soundtrack" is music outside the box.

I liked the CD fairly well, but it was more like listening to a radio station than a soundtrack. I liked the songs, but it wasn't really too special, not something I would run and tell my friends about. If you like the show, or CD's of mixed music types, you'll probably enjoy it.

I had heard only one track fromt his album before buying and I can say with certainty after only a few days, it's already my favourite. A real 5* album that's well worth buying !

Every Monday week night the last regular show before the late news is "CSI:MIAMI", featuring the characters dreamed up by producer Jerry Bruckheimer ~ this review is about the music that brings everything together on the Emmy Award winning CBS Broadcasting Network new hot series "CSI:Miami", with an outstanding cast of actors and their characters ~ but the music is the topping we've come to hear.
To start this collections is the opening theme to the series "WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN", performed by The Who, an extended version of eight minutes and thirty two seconds of pure energy that grabs you right from the start ~ "GABRIEL", performed by Lamb is a 2001 hit with all the ingredients for a drifting soul experience ~ "THE MASTERPLAN", with Oasis from 1995 gives the listener the same thrill it had in the late '90s ~ "HAYLING", performed by FC Kahuna in 2002 gives the pulse sating beat that gets completely in your head and stays there ~ "INVISIBLE PEDESTRIAN", performed by Bent from 1999 lays all the evidence before you ~ "SATELLITES", performed by Doves from 2002 is a haunting theme with arrangements of pure delight ~ "FOREVER AND A DAY", with Ian Brown from 2001 mixed with a group from the U.K. ~ "GONNA MAKE IT THERE", performed by Baxter from 2002 on a Warner Music Sweden label, flows very well with electronic mixes that give it more flavor to the listener.
So there you have it, the score that gives the fan just what they wanted and more ~ this is a must have ... Read More
