Clint Mansell attained indie credibility with Pop Will Eat Itself in the ‘80s and ‘90s, before his subsequent film scores made him one of cinema’s most sought-after composers. The story of how the Stourbridge musician became a Hollywood maestro is almost worthy of a film itself, with spellbinding cuts like Moon’s “Welcome to Lunar Industries” and Requiem For A Dream’s “Lux Aeterna” transcending their respective movies. Mansell also has a gift for collaboration, whether he’s working with the Kronos Quartet or teasing a brilliantly understated performance out of Slash for Darren Aronofsky’s The Wrestler.
