From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Corner Stone Cues (CSC) is a label and music production house based in Los Angeles. It is best known for the debut release and the title song "Requiem for a Tower" featured in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers trailer. "Requiem for a Tower" is the re-orchestration and arrangement by Daniel J. Nielsen, Simone Benyacar, and Veigar Margeirsson of Clint Mansell’s "Lux Aeterna", written for the film Requiem for a Dream.

In 2006 CSC collaborated with electro rock band Kinky from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. The 5 song E.P. titled "Sassy" included Kinky's cover of Wall of Voodoo's "Mexican Radio". Kinky later included a remastered version of Mexican Radio on the re-release of Reina. Both Reina and Sassy were originally distributed by Nettwerk.

In 2008 "Eton Path" was released, including the London Studio Orchestra, Purcell Singers, Azam Ali, Dierdre Dubois, Riffat Salamatt, Bryan "Brain" Mantia, Buckethead, and Damian Marley. Eton Path includes adaptations of the Led Zeppelin songs "Ten Years Gone" and "Kashmir". CSC re-orchestrated two movements titled "Ten Years Kashmir Mvt I& II".[dubious – discuss]

"In Situ" the most recent release, features songs mainly composed by Daniel Law Heath.

There are tentative plans to record a future hybrid orchestral/Epic Music album in the "Eton Path" style.[1][2][3][4]
