WTF? :x

Who the hell would spend that much?
I've seen this many times on Amazon on various items, where some prices sold by sellers are FAR higher than the others. Completely ridiculous.

And what further takes the kick with the pricing is the added delivery:

£828.26
+ £1.24delivery

:roll: :roll: :roll:

You'd think for that insane price, they would personally deliver it to your door (they certainly could afford it...). But what's £1.24 deliver anyway compared to £828 :lol: :lol: :lol:

I read alot of interviews from Edgar about the Miami Vice Tv serie and how he was upset to not score it. I always think that Michael Mann asked Jan Hammer to sound like TD. It is so similar. It's impossible that Jan Hammer didn't even listened to TD before scoring that TV serie. Maybe he only use the same gear as TD and it's a coincidence, but he cannot release so similar stuff without listening to TD before scoring. Even the chords structure is similar from Logos (the The Keep track (side 1, segment 4) on "Crockett's Theme".

What do you think about it ?

He, a "classic" from Jan Hammer "Crockett's Theme". :

I don't see there's an question that there was at the very least some suggestion if not to copy TD , to get the TD "vibe" going. I only watched the first season of MV, maybe part of season 2, but, back then I distinctly remember shaking my head slowly several times , hearing the score reaching for TD but falling short.
