Clint Mansell's haunting score to director Darren Aronofsky's 2000 film Requiem for a Dream, performed by Kronos Quartet, returns to vinyl for the film's 20th anniversary year, on December 4, 2020. The soundtrack was originally released on Nonesuch in 2000; the first vinyl edition was released for Record Store Day in 2016 with new artwork and two previously unreleased bonus tracks.

The new 2LP vinyl edition, which also includes the bonus tracks, features the original 2000 soundtrack cover art for the anniversary. Requiem for a Dream, which stars Ellen Burstyn, Jared Leto, Jennifer Connelly, and Marlon Wayans, was the second collaboration between Mansell and Aronofsky, following the director's 1997 feature debut, pi. The two would go on to collaborate on The Fountain (2006) and Noah (2014) — both of which also feature Kronos Quartet on the soundtrack — The Wrestler (2008) and Black Swan (2010). Mansell's score for Requiem for a Dream serves to intensify the wide range of emotions that permeate the film. "Brilliant stuff," exclaimed ClassicFM.

"In a homogenized world of brand names and mass production," Mansell said in 2000, "a world where art is always at odds with commerce, it is unbelievably gratifying to work with artists such as Darren Aronofsky and the Kronos Quartet, whose desire to go beyond the norm, beyond the expected, is not tempered by the desire to be commercially palatable."

Clint Mansell, a musician, composer, and founding member of the band Pop Will Eat Itself, first worked with filmmaker Darren Aronofsky on the score for his 1998 film Pi. In 2000, Mansell worked with Kronos Quartet to record his acclaimed and best-selling score for Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream (Nonesuch), and in 2006 he scored the filmmaker's The Fountain (Nonesuch), which included performances by Mogwai and Kronos.

For 40 years, the Kronos Quartet - David Harrington, John Sherba (violins), Hank Dutt (viola), and Sunny Yang (cello) - has pursued a singular artistic vision, combining a spirit of fearless exploration with a commitment to continually re-imagining the string quartet experience. In the process, Kronos has become one of the most celebrated and influential groups of our time, performing thousands of concerts worldwide, releasing more than 50 recordings of extraordinary breadth and creativity, collaborating with many of the world's most intriguing and accomplished composers and performers, and commissioning more than 800 works and arrangements for string quartet.
