The graphics and the music work together perfectly, I think--love how the music builds from nothing, adding ingenious textures here and there and then stepping away from them, and that vocalized "hoo!" at the beginning...that's an ingenious composer, or group of composers (actually I believe it is a group). This was the theme from the first couple of seasons of the show circa what, 2002 or so?; they diluted the lean-ness of the theme later on (in my estimation) even as the show itself began to lose its edge.dougRnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19336675.post-34252289941206240792010-08-16T04:42:45.523-07:002010-08-16T04:42:45.523-07:00And in fact, HUSTLE aired on MAD MEN's home ba...And in fact, HUSTLE aired on MAD MEN's home base, AMC.
