Score of the Month #1 - Black Mirror: San Junipero by Clint Mansell (2016)
Some of you may have guessed it already, but score of the month has to be “Black Mirror: San Junipero” by Clint Mansell. Firstly, I thought the episode was absolutely brilliant, the story really gripped me and the music relaxed me enough to loose track of time… I remember wondering, “who on earth scored this, it works so well”…
When the credits rolled and I saw Mansell’s name, I was pleasantly surprised… I’m not used to hearing him score a TV show and the recent scores I’ve heard from him were just totally different to this. The entire score is full of lush pads, rich textures, catchy melodies and trance inducing atmospheres which I’ve been addicted to all week! I highly recommend it…
