Clint Mansell & The Kronos Quartet - Summer OvertureAlbum: Requiem for a Dream [2000]
darren aronofsky's second film, requiem for a dream, features a score from his "pi" collaborator, vocalist/guitarist clint mansell. this time, mansell blends his usual electronic/industrial leanings with brooding, evocative performances from the kronos quartet. as with pi, mansell's compositions play a large part in the movie, with is an adaptation of hubert selby's 1978 novel about the harrowing lives of four drug addicts. truly, it's one of the most mind and mood-altering films of the past 20 years, and mansell's score impressively manages to be appropriately dark and disturbing. as well as listenable. it's the furthest thing from a "summer song", but the song name fits. hellllllo summer!
