"Music In High Places," a Tall Pony Production, in association with TBA Entertainment and Innovative Media Productions, Inc. for Earth Escapes, L.L.C., has been called a "National Geographic for the VH1 and MTV generation." These programs, a mix of music and travel adventure, take top recording artists to exotic locations around the globe.

The pilgrimages are recorded with state-of-the-art technology and include acoustic performances by the artists at each site.

"Music In High Places" has already gained vast consumer recognition through broadcast airings on DirecTV and MTV, a Web presence at http://musicinhighplaces.msn.com/ and corporate sponsorships from MSN Internet service, RCA electronics and RadioShack.

Image will launch the series with Grammy Award-winning Boyz II Men's visit to Korea and Platinum-selling music artist, Collective Soul, in Morocco. Upcoming "Music In High Places" titles from Image include Brian McKnight in Brazil, Sugar Ray in Australia, BBMak in Vietnam, Mya in Sicily, Deftones in Hawaii, Alanis Morissette at the Navajo Nation, Wynonna in Italy and LeAnn Rimes in Mexico. Each DVD will feature Dolby Digital 5.1 sound and a variety of bonus materials ranging from behind-the-scenes featurettes and artist interviews to biographies and exclusive location footage.

International video sales of the title will be handled through Image's joint venture partner, Aviva International, LLC.
