I furiously hunted this down after I saw Requiem for a Dream and it has all the tracks featured in the film. I'd question the longevity of the whole album though, I mean there's no doubt you're only looking at the soundtrack because it contains 'that track' which always seems to be spammed across lots of adverts and such. Well there are three different versions of that song here, though each is a little short.

Towards the end the music is almost unlistenable for me, as nobody does awkward string movements like the Kronos Quartet. Once it gets to the incredibly jarring song in which Sarah Goldfarb was undergoing her shock torture, I just have to turn it off. Testament to just how good the soundtrack was if my association between film and soundtrack is so strong. I recommend it if you loved the film, but I predict you'll go off it after a while.

7/10
