Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Writer/director Darren Aronofsky follows up his critically-acclaimed feature debut "Pi", with REQUIEM FOR A DREAM, adapted from the 1978 novel by celebrated author Hubert Selby, Jr. (Last Exit to Brooklyn). Set in the rusted mean streets of Coney Island, Brooklyn, the film is a harrowing journey into the psyches of four human beings addicted to their visions of a happier life. The delusions fostered by drug use cause them to deny reality until they are eye to eye with their worst nightmares. The film stars Academy Award-winner Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Marlon Wayans and Jennifer Connally, and is released by Artisan Entertainment (Blair Witch Project, Buena Vista Social Club).

The music for REQUIEM is by Clint Mansell - originally the front man for the pioneering English band Pop Will Eat Itself - who composed the noted original score for Pi. Mainly electronic, it includes string quartet performances by the Kronos Quartet.

Amazon.com

Composer Clint Mansell made his impact as a soundtrack composer known with his production of the Pi soundtrack. On that disc, the former vocalist for UK group Pop Will Eat Itself melded an abstract 20th-century classical sensibility to electronica with great (and eerie) results. On Requiem for a Dream--the follow-up film from Pi director Darren Aronofsky--Mansell repeats his magic. Here, teamed with the Kronos Quartet--one of the world's foremost (and most progressive) string quartets--Mansell fuses big-beat, ambient, and driving chamber music. The result is a mesmerizing aural complement to an already mesmerizing film. Dark, unpredictable, and thoroughly engrossing. --Jason Verlinde

Not the orchestral version used in the "Two Towers" trailer

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 14, 2006

Verified Purchase

Ok, so don't bash this review. I've never seen the movie, and based on its depressing themes, doubt that I ever will. And I'm not a big fan of this CD either.

I bought this CD ONLY because I heard this thrilling soundtrack for a Ronaldinho soccer video that I had downloaded off the Internet, which some people thought was the Overture from Requiem for a Dream.

Unfortunately, as the Amazon website for this movie soundtrack CD does not have song samples from the CD, I had to actually BUY the CD to see if it contained that soundtrack. The closest track to the song that I was looking for was "Lux Aeternum". The rest of this CD, those tracks that did not repeat the main theme from the movie, I found pretty disappointing.

So I did a vigorous search through the Internet, and finally discovered that the track that I had heard was an orchestral remix of "Lux Aeternum", done especially for the first movie trailer for "The Two Towers". A Google search turned up a post on [...] by someone with the screenname of Fatboy Roberts who described how two MP3 versions of this orchestral re-mix came into being.

As far as I can tell, this gorgeous bit of music does not exist in a commercially released form. It is certainly not one of the tracks on the "Requiem for a Dream: Remixed" CD. And so although I would actually like to BUY this music, I was able to find it only on Internet file sharing networks.

Use various combination of keywords such as "Lux Aeternum, "Requiem Overture", "Two Towers", "orchestral remix", "Fatboy Roberts" when searching for this piece.

Addendum: As per the comment by Derek LeLash, a CD with the orchestral remix of Lux Aeternum, the one used in the "Two Towers" trailer is now available - "Requiem For A Tower" by Corner Stone Cues

This soundtrack is astounding

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on May 18, 2005

Verified Purchase

I bought the soundtrack right after seeing the movie and years later, listening to it still makes my heart thump the way it did the first time I heard "Le Sacre du Printemps" when the strings suddenly start coming in nonstop assault (my musical terminology is not the best, but people who know that work will hopefully know the part I mean). I have never been affected so much by a soundtrack, and it's not entirely a pleasant experience, but it's an unforgettable one. See the movie first.

I have read complaints here about the shortness of some of the pieces, but they all hang together, and to be honest, I don't

know if I could take them any longer.

This is the aural equivalent of something you just can't look away from, as frightening as it is. The Kronos Quartet does an excellent job. The orchestration is amazing.

Does anyone else here the hissed "happy tappy" in a couple of the pieces? Brrrrrrrrr.

Incredible

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 11, 2001

Verified Purchase

This is one of the most incredible CD's I have ever listened to. The music is captivating, exciting, sad, tense and enjoyable all at the same time. I can't get it out of my head. If you saw the movie, you should definetly buy this, I don't know how you couldn't. If you haven't seen the movie, buy it and you will be in the movie theater a week afterwards. The Kronos Quartet adds the incredibly volatile sound of violins to Clint Mansell's incredible blend of tweaked out beats. This is one of the best CD's I have ever purchased, the movie was probably the best I have ever seen, and I bought the book and hope to have a chance to read it soon. If you liked the movie or if you just want to hear some incredible instrumental music, buy this CD. It has no lyrics, the only lyrics are the ones that you hear in your head if you've already seen the movie, because it causes a vivid picture of each scene to rise up within your mind. It progress from foreshadowing, lighter music(Summer) to very heavy, powerful music( fall, winter, etc.). Definetly worth the money, go for it.

review of "Requiem For A Dream".

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 5, 2012

Verified Purchase

Not a bad CD but not my preference in music. I was trying to buy "Lux Aeterna", the same one that was used in the movie "2001", but I got instead a piece of the same name but by a totally different composer. Interesting piece but not really what I wanted. Not the seller's fault, only mine. I should have researched the composer's name (of the piece I actually wanted) which was Gyorgy Ligeti, but I didn't. Turns out the woods are seemingly full of pieces by that same name... The CD arrived as advertised, in good condition. BTW the 5 star rating is for the seller's performance, not what I'd rate the CD as, musically, even though a lot of others seem to like it a lot, I found. If you like that composer's work don't let me put you off!

Vinyl as art

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is one of the best scores ever written. Take a listen and you'll know it immediately: Clint Mansell has written one of the most beautiful and disturbing film scores ever put on tape. Not only that, you'll recognize that main theme hook of "Lux Aeterna", which since its use here has been re-arranged and used in numerous trailers for other films. Nonesuch's vinyl re-issue for RSD 2016 is a real beauty. Not only is this an amazing soundtrack, this reissue is a work of art.

This is the only full soundtrack I have ever purchased.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 19, 2014

Verified Purchase

Sure I have gotten the occasional track here and there from various movies and video games but this is the only one I have ever felt I needed to get the entire album for. In the movie, the soundtrack is the perfect sort of "powerful" - it really emphasizes the scenes without distracting or being too obvious (see Upside Down for a soundtrack which was so big that it downplayed the meaningfulness of the scenes which it tried to score). I listen to this often and like I would any regular collection of music, i.e. to enjoy the music, not just to reminisce of the movie.

Really great.

Very good music.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on February 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

Like many vinyl nowadays the recorded volume is rather low, and means one can't hear it in other rooms when doing something else. Also not 180 gram. Anyway I am pleased it was available on vinyl which is more fun to enjoy and listen to. I would like the remixes on vinyl. They should have used 1/2 speed mastering and the original master copy. ( Coloured vinyl is more exciting and pretty, and suited to 180 gram issues ). This is an all time top 20 album of mine. The main theme should have been produced to be longer. ( Actually my blue-ray movie of the film also has very low volume ). I think the CD is better sound. I first heard the main theme music on You Tube when it had been used for a lamentation I suppose, as a dub for a video of the extra-ordinary disintegration into the foot-print of the WTC towers on 911. The movie's story is like "the story of my life" for some. There was a good Clint Mansell You Tube version of the main theme also. A good job by Amazon to make it available on this reissue at an average retail price.

Repetitive but haunting

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on August 8, 2015

Verified Purchase

Anyone overly familiar with the central Kronos Quartet played musical motif - as heard on every single sports trailer going back to before the before times - might be a little shocked at the industrial techno side of this album.

As befitting the style and themes of Darren Aronofsky's hugely impressive movie, it's wilfully repetitive and scouringly abrasive, Mansell using almost cheap sounding synth-sounds to offset the haunting beauty of the Kronos Quartet's strings and, I guess, remind us drugs are bad or something.

It's often an ugly soundtrack, and can get a LITTLE too over-familiar even on the first listen. But it's not made to be easy-listening, and as soundtracks go it's unusual, striking, and very dark.

I love the film and its score, and was hoping to hear full length versions of some of the clips in the movie, so was a little disappointed to hear that the snippets in the movie comprise the entire soundtrack. Still, great cd
