The quirky sci-fi TV series HEROES is full of rich characters, and its soundtrack is accordingly filled with memorable musical personalities. Prince's old bandmates Wendy & Lisa's instrumental pieces provide atmospheric interludes between tracks by the hottest contemporary artists (Panic at the Disco, Death Cab For Cutie) and some old masters (David Bowie, Bob Dylan). The album also provides the opportunity for some interesting collaborations, like the Chemical Brothers' team-up with Spank Rock on "Keeping My Composure," and Brighton Port Authority (Fatboy Slim and David Byrne) with Iggy Pop on "He's Frank."
Tracklist
Iggy Pop
James Osterberg began his musical career in 1964, playing in various Detroit bands but most famously in the Iguanas, where he acquired the nickname Iggy Pop. Inspired by the dirty sound of Chicago blues, a Doors live performance, and garage-band aesthetics, Pop formed the hugely influential proto-punk band the Stooges, combining primal rock power with an explosive, often violent stage show. Splitting up the band in 1974, Pop relocated to Berlin, and with the help of admirer David Bowie, kickstarted his long, successful solo career. Remaining an icon of the old-school punk-rock guard, Iggy Pop continues to record, and has also acted in films such as Jim Jarmusch's DEAD MAN and John Waters's CRY BABY.
