Anyone played Vice City? Yeah? And you figured maybe you'd watch some TV in your virtual luxury flat? Yeah? Then maybe you came across the in-game show called Angel and the Knight about the crimefighting couple living on a speedboat, named Chris Van Angel and Bonnie Knight... Yeah? Well, Chris works as a "hot dog" helicopter pilot and is a Vietnam veteran. Bonnie is a recovering alcoholic ninja who will sleep her way to the truth. Together they create a formiddable crimefighting team, whilst also battling their inner demons. They also ride a helicopter that can go underwater. If that's not the concept for a successful and longrunning TV-classic I don't know what is!
It so happens that someone thought it'd be a great idea to release a soundtrack with songs that had nothing to do with the show itself, but rather with the era and mentality of he show. It's the soundtrack the show would've had, had it been aired on real television. Now the only reason I'm aware of this thing is that "Murder One" is featured in a colab with "Girl is Toügh" on the track titled This is Love which is an allright disco-thumper but acctually one of my least favorite tracks on the album. Instead "Palm Highway Chase" takes the podium with his track titled Space Again. It's a great trip to the nightly colors and sounds of 80's downtown Miami, suckin it all in through the pores of your skin while watching the neon flash by from the seat of your car. Now I am aware I was not born in the 80's nor have I ever been to Miami, but all you gotta do is believe, Johnny boy! The album is available for free download right here.
