Clint Mansell and the Sonus Quartet (Union Chapel) 20/07/09

What an incredible gig this was. Clint Mansell, with an exquisite band, performing his transcendental scores in an intimate chapel, before a rapturous and receptive crowd of music and film lovers. And as if that wasn't enough, film-maker Darren Aronofsky turned up to introduce the evening!

Some great highlights, but Requiem's "Meltdown" was a hair-raising, heart-quickening tour de force, and easily my pick for best of the evening, despite other songs being my personal favourites...
