Featured Highlight - Seahawks @ Dolphins, 1990If you liked the ridiculously bright synth from last week's post, Overall Winner, then you'll love this one. "Future Champs," by longtime library synth group Orange Power, sounds like the kinda song you'd expect to accompany a team's coronation—perhaps an easy win that clinches a division title or something. That's not what you're going to see with this highlight, unfortunately, but it still has some entertainment value. The Seahawks, who had managed to reach a winning record despite an 0-3 start, went down to what was then known as Joe Robbie Stadium to face a 10-3 Dolphins squad. Miami, though they didn't play real well, took advantage of constant errors by Seattle to register a close victory.
Oh, and stay tuned… Starting next week, I'm going to post a series of songs composed by then-ESPN-music-director John Colby. At least a few should be quite familiar to fans of NFL Primetime.
