Heroes Soundtrack

Just like all great TV shows the music plays a big part of the show. Heroes is no exception so I was real excited to find there would be a soundtrack release. However, the soundtrack isn't a score release of the music by the shows composers Wendy Melvoin & Lisa Coleman but instead features mostly pop songs that I don't even remember being in the show. In my opinion it is just another 'music from and inspired by' soundtrack that studios use to make money because of their larger target audience.

Sadly the few Wendy & Lisa tracks that there are only reach a total duration of 3 minutes 33 seconds, excluding the Heroes Mega Mix, and they aren't even the best ones from the show. Natural Selection is by far the best although it is way too short only lasting 24 seconds.

If you are going to get the Heroes Soundtrack I'd go for the iTunes version with the Heroes Mega Mix which is by far the best track on the album and features a lot of the music that really helps make the show what it is. I only hope there will be a score release some time in the future because if Michael Giacchino's music for Lost and Bear McCreary's music for Battlestar Galactica can get releases then why can't Wendy & Lisa's music for Heroes.
