Clint Mansell

This man is utterly amazing. He is an English musician who was the lead singer and guitarist for Pop Will Eat Itself. The band broke up in 1996, but, thankfully, Clint was a friend of Darren Aronofsky who hired him to score the movie, Pi. Since then, he has scored all of Aronofsky's movies, but this may not seem that amazing. It's just movie scores, right? Well, he has some of the most amazing music I've ever heard. Don't believe me?

Here are some examples.

Listen and be awed.
