Inventions from the Blue Line
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inventions from the Blue Line is a 1994 music CD containing some of the best known TV cop-show themes written by Mike Post as of that point.
The album features several themes from the TV series NYPD Blue. It also includes themes from the series' Law & Order, Silk Stalkings and Renegade.
In the liner notes, Post discusses his late father, Sam Postil, and the admiration for law enforcement officers that Sam instilled in Mike. He also refers to police in the traditional nickname of "blues", as in "The Thin Blue Line" which refers to the police in general and to police camaraderie (one of the tracks is called "The Blue Line", which Post calls 'the comradery [sic][1] theme').
