Who remembers Miami Vice

Back in college, there was a period
when my roommate and I
regularly watched Miami Vice.

The best episode ever,
unlike the more typical fast-paced,
flashy MTV-stylized episodes,
was a haunting, striking hour of television
in which Don Johnson went slowly crazy
by trying to get into the head
of a freaky home burglar.

And the episode („Shadow in the Dark“)
opened with the burglar stalking a home
backed by „Two Rapid Formations“.

This had a huge impact on me,
haunting me ever since,
as I was listening to Brian Eno‘s Music For Films
a lot back then, and hearing one of its pieces
behind this scene was profoundly disturbing and thrilling.
