Daily Jam - Oceans and Continents

Years before becoming a part of the cultural lexicon with the "Miami Vice" theme, electronic composer Jan Hammer was making far out synth weirdness for the proverbial masses.  Here's a track from his 1975 concept album "The First Seven Days."  Listen to "Oceans and Continents" below, our Daily Jam.

Found Vinyl: Jan Hammer - The First Seven Days

Long before there were mountains of cocaine and the "Miami Vice" theme song, composer and musician Jan Hammer used his considerable talents...and probably a little cocaine...to write and record the 1975 album "The First Seven Days."  The record is a grand mix of old school synthesizers, guitar wankery, and overt new age mumbo jumbo.  It's the perfect blend of cheese and awesome.  Needless to say, i love it.  But enough with the formalities, here's some music.  Album opener "Darkness/Earth in Search of a Sun"...



"Oceans and Continents"...



And finally, here's "The Animals"...



Enjoy your cheese for the evening.
