requiem for a ring

just caught this lotr trailer on tv, and was sure i'd recognized the music i'd heard in the background. sure enough, i soon discovered it was in fact a remix of clint mansell's theme from requiem for a dream.

formerly of the uk's pop will eat itself, mansell, a brilliant electronic composer, was also responsible for much of the soundtrack for the film pi and is signed to trent reznor's nothing label.

he also, incidentally, backed out of doing rushkoff's spoken word cd of ecstasy club (which i was to produce) right after he landed the gig for the requiem soundtrack. sigh.
