SUMMARY: RUNNING TIME: 3:53 Min.
Initially released in 1986 for the Miami Vice II soundtrack album, Andy Taylor’s up-tempo, hard rock tune would resurface on the Miami Vice: The Ultimate Collection CD in 2004. “When the Rain Comes Down” is also now available as a single.
Note: Another option is Taylor’s extended-format version (running time: 4:55 min.) from his 1987 Thunder solo album. This song’s hard-charging instrumentals get even more emphasis.
REVIEW:
With Duran Duran’s Taylor in top form, it’s hard not to visualize a flashy Miami Vice speedboat chase hearing this mid-80s hard rock tune. Aging surprisingly well, it makes a great download option for ‘80s dance-rock playlists and most certainly for workouts. This Andy Taylor gem is well worth re-discovery.
BRIAN’S ODD MOON RATING: 8 Stars
