Corner Stone Cues (CSC) is a label and music production house based in Los Angeles. They are best known for their debut release and title song “Requiem for a Tower” featured in the trailer for Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. “Requiem for a Tower” is the re-orchestration and arrangement of Clint Mansell’s “Requiem for a Dream” by Daniel J. Nielsen, Simone Benyacar, and Veigar Margeirsson.

Since its release, the "Requiem for a Tower" track was licensed by British broadcasting company Sky TV as the theme for "Gillette Soccer Saturday. Other licenses included Wimbledon, 2006 & 2008 Olympics, 2007 Super Bowl, 2007 Rose Bowl, 2007 NASCAR Championship, and the 2008 & 2009 NBA Finals.

In 2006 CSC collaborated with electro rock band Kinky from Monterrey, Nuevo Leon, Mexico. The result was a 5 song E.P. titled Sassy. It included Kinky's 2nd radio hit with a cover of Wall of Voodoo's hit, "Mexican Radio.". Heavy college radio rotation led to a video that featured a cameo of Wall Of Voodoo frontman Stan Ridgway playing a border patrolman. Kinky later included a remastered version of Mexican Radio on the re-release of Reina. Both Reina and Sassy were originally distributed by Nettwerk Music Group based in Canada.

CSC released five more offerings in quick succession focusing on a hybrid style of cinematic orchestra and modern instrumentation. This experience lead to the popular release titled "Eton Path" which included the London Studio Orchestra, Purcell Singers, Azam Ali, Dierdre Dubois, Riffat Salamatt, Bryan "Brain" Mantia, Buckethead, and Damian Marley. The centerpiece of the collection is the adaptation of Led Zeppelin songs "Ten Years Gone” and "Kashmir." CSC re-orchestrated two movements titled "Ten Years Kashmir Mvt I& II.” "Ten Years Kashmir Mvt II" was placed in the "John Carter (film)" trailer, "Top Gear (2002 TV series)", and "So You Think You Can Dance (UK)". Eton Path was recorded at Sir George Martin's famed AIR Studios in London with engineering team Nick Wollage and Olga Fitzroy.

"In Situ" is the latest CSC release featuring songs mainly composed by Daniel Law Heath. "Take Down" was licensed as the back end cue for the Spartacus: War of the Damned teaser trailer that debuted at Comic Con 2012.
