Purchase: Mondo
Price: 25 USD

Note: Debut at MondoCon with a special release of 500 copies, Web exclusive pressing on 180 Gram Xibalba Vinyl (Gold and Yellow Swirl with Black & White and Amber Splatter). Artwork by Nicole Gustafsson. Featuring liner notes and interview with Clint Mansell, Artwork by Nicole Gustafsson

Spoiler: Description & Tracklist

A longtime collaborator with filmmaker Darren Aronofsky, Clint Mansell has produced some of the century’s most iconic scores for movies like Aronfsky’s Requiem for a Dream, Black Swan, The Wrestler and Duncan Jones’ Moon. The score for The Fountain is an absolute modern day masterpiece.

The score is the result of a composer firing on all cylinders, collaborating with both the Kronos Quartet and Scottish post rock band Mogwai. It’s assured, mournful, desolate, yet strikingly beautiful and offers a real warmth and depth not many composers can achieve. The penultimate track “Death is the Road to Awe” displays just how well The Kronos Quartet and Mogwai work together under the watchful eye of Mansell. It’s a staggering piece of chamber music ramped up due to the power of Mogwai that is as intense as it is spectacular. When it finally dissipates after its 9-minute runtime, there is no doubt that Mansell has earned his right to sit next to masters such as Ennio Morricone, Bernard Herrmann and Phillip Glass.

The score for The Fountain was remastered for vinyl at AIR Studios London and features all new liner notes and an interview with composer Clint Mansell. The collectible packaging features mind meltingly gorgeous artwork from Nicole Gustafsson.

Seems like it was first sold at the screening (250 seats) and the rest at the booth. It was 1 per customer and sold out yesterday.

But it's just this color variant. Mondo will do another run available for everybody online after MondoCon and it's surely equally beautiful.
To me personally, I'm also fine with "just" a regular black. I'm just happy to get all OSTs by Clint Mansell on Vinyl

Not my pictures:

[will519]

I seriously hope this release isn't too too limited. I really want one. I'm tempted to buy two. One to open, one unopen.




Updated: Scored two of these. Definitely opening one and saving the other. Can't wait.

 

[Black Sunshine]

Scored Mine!!

same here

 

[soreandcrucified]

Ordered mine thank you. Postage nearly as much as the vinyl- crazy. First time in a while I've splashed out this kind of money. Dare I say it this version looks even better than the limited screening one...feel bad for the people paying crazy money on eBay and more so for the sellers. Can't wait to give this its first spin (waited years)!!

 

[Chacha]

Got one
Can't wait to have this !

So happy !

 

[dan8885]

Congrats to all of you

It's live guys
