Editorial Review:
The latest release from Academy Award-winning filmmakers Ismail Merchant and James Ivory ("A Room With A View", "Howard's End", "The Remains Of The Day", etc.) stars Glenn Close, James Marsden, Jesse Bradford, and Elizabeth Banks. Spanning 24 hours, "The Heights" follows five New Yorkers challenged to choose their destiny before the sun comes up the next day. The eclectic music on this CD includes tracks by Norah Jones and Wax Poetic, Jeff Buckley, Marc Ribot, Alice Hanley, Los Amigos Invisibles, and more.
Heights Reviews:
An Almost Brilliant Mix Tape 
2007-06-06 - The songs here range from smart, if overly familiar, electro-pop to a few Latin rockers; however, the flow comes to a grinding halt whenever the bits of soundtrack score are played. I'm sure they were perfectly evocative and moody for the images they were meant to accompany, but standing alone they are crushingly boring. My recommendation is to buy the CD (or borrow if you can) and just rip the songs by the contributing artists - making the near brilliant mix tape to chill out to.
Subtle and Delicate 
2006-08-06 - Intricacy (Master Class) evolves into a mystery as electronica pulsates from your headphones in a sexy melancholy (Honey) and then dissipates into a haunting acoustic mystery (Super-Dooper). Until Angels, this becomes very relaxing. Norah Jones is hardly recognizable. The music then turns very moody and slowly slips away into a subtle soundtrack background ambience. The mood setting elements are very apparent throughout the selections.
