Record Store Day is coming up April 16, 2016 and I'm very excited to acquire the stunning soundtrack to the film Requiem For A Dream (2000) featuring the music of Clint Mansell with our friends the Kronos Quartet! The double 180-gram vinyl includes two never-before-released bonus tracks, a digital download card, and is limited to 5,000 copies. Above, the stunning track "Lux Aeterna."

If you have the opportunity to see Kronos live, don't miss out. Their performances are always sublime. They perform tomorrow (March 11) in San Francisco, March 18-19 in Cincinnati as part of the New Music Now Festival hosted by Bryce Dessner (The National), and then April 1 at New York City's Radio City Music Hall in a musical celebration of (gasp!) David Bowie! Oh, how I wish I could be there.
