Clint Mansell - The Fountain (Music from the Motion Picture)
In a word: Yes.
This soundtrack is everything I loved about Requiem for a Dream, but one you can listen to without feeling the need to slit your wrists immediately afterward. The Fountain is a much "bigger" movie in scope than Requiem, and as such the score is much more expansive. Mansell re-ups Kronos Quartet this time, so the strings are still there and still incredibly haunting.
The fact that you don't need Aronofsky's visuals for The Fountain to be a visceral experience shows how good this stuff is. Released: November 10, 2006. ARRESTING.

Nice. Didn't know Mansell/Kronos were doing The Fountain. Will have to pick up. How was the film?
not as good as requiem.
Got a rodeo bar margarita-to-go for the screening, which helped. that fact alone should tell you everything you need to know.
