Read on for the news release from NBCUMV about the new special deluxe edition of the “Heroes” Soundtrack!

UNIVERSAL CITY, Calif. - September 4, 2008 - A Special Deluxe Edition “Heroes” Soundtrack will be available in wide release starting September 9, 2008, it was announced today by Shelli Hill, Vice President NBC Universal Television, DVD, Music and Consumer Products Group. Released by NBC Universal through its NBC Records label, the Deluxe Edition album will now be available wherever music is sold and will feature a multi-panel foldout package that includes over 20 powerful illustrations from graphic artists Tim Sale and Steven Parke. NBC’s Emmy and Golden Globe nominated drama “Heroes” returns for its third season on September 22nd.

The “Heroes” Soundtrack was executive produced by independent music veteran Errol Kolosine (”Six Feet Under”) in collaboration with “Heroes” creator & executive producer Tim Kring and “Heroes” executive producer & director Allan Arkush (”Crossing Jordan,” “The Temptations” and classic cult film “Rock ‘n Roll High School!”). Offering an eclectic mix of artists from Bob Dylan and Panic! At The Disco to the show’s music composers Wendy & Lisa, the album also offers a number exclusive tracks including a duo with Brighton Port Authority and Iggy Pop and Wilco’s “Glad It’s Over,” as well as The Jesus & Mary Chain’s first new studio recording in more than a decade, “All Things Must Pass.”

The new Deluxe Edition “Heroes” Soundtrack features a collectible multi-panel foldout package with nine vivid show renderings from acclaimed graphic novel artist Tim Sale and 15 commissioned illustrations of the “Heroes” Soundtrack bands from comic book icon Steven Parke.

“We were so happy to be able to put together such a tremendous compilation of artists and sounds to reflect the power of the show,” said Hill. “Several of the tracks will be featured in the third season and we know that ‘Heroes’ fans will love how these songs have been integrated into the series.”

“The ‘Heroes’ soundtrack has been really fun to work on,” said Arkush, “Getting all the demos of the songs by some of my favorite bands and following those songs through the recording process and final mix gave me a tremendous sense of accomplishment. This is the perfect time for the soundtrack to appear with the complete artwork,” Arkush continued. “Steven Parke captured the visual style of the show and applied it perfectly to our artists. How great to have that famous Bowie photo rendered like a ‘Heroes’ painting! Music and Art heaven!”

The 18-track compilation opens with the show’s composers, Wendy & Lisa’s “Heroes” theme song and also includes Wilco’s “Glad It’s Over” and the recently released track by Panic! At The Disco, “Nine in the Afternoon.” Other performers on the album include Nada Surf (”Weightless”), Death Cab For Cutie (”Jealousy Rides With Me”), Cucu Diamantes & Yerba Buena (”Maya’s Theme”), Sheila Chandra (”ABoneConeDrone 3″) and My Morning Jacket (”Chills”).

As we posted last week, Microsofts’ Zune.net is exclusively featuring five music videos with five artists from the upcoming Heroes Original Soundtrack [or should that be "soundtrack"?] on their Heroes site. Video number two has been posted.

Heroes executive producer/director Allan Arkush has created five music video montage podcasts that feature show footage from the set and select tracks from the album.

The videos will revolve around several themes that are relevant to each song. For instance, Nada Surf’s “Weightless,” which is now available for downloading or streaming, contains footage of the characters who can fly and who are experiencing the “weightlessness of real emotions.” The video for Bob Dylan’s “Man in the Long Black Coat,” meanwhile, will focus on one of Heroes’ central villains, Sylar (Zachary Quinto). — BuddyTV

Imogen Heap’s Not Now but Soon is a beautiful song by one of my favorite musicians. Although, I do like Hide and Seek better.

You can check out the video here if you have the Zune software installed on your computer.

We’ll try to locate a version that doesn’t require this software. Thanks to Patrick for finding and commenting that the video is on YouTube! Continue reading to see it.

BuddyTV has posted a track listing of the soon-to-be-released Heroes soundtrack. Many of these songs have never been featured on the actual series, but the album’s producers are hoping the tunes will remind viewers of their favorite Heroes moments.

The 18-track compilation will be released on March 18, exclusively at Best Buy stores or available for download at Zune Marketplace and other online outlets.
