Album Review

There was so much happening visually in the Wachowski Brothers' instant sci-fi classic The Matrix that it was easy to overlook Don Davis' score. It is true that Davis' music is the most conventional element of the film, often following familiar action film patterns, but that's not to say that it's predictable. There are long quiet stretches that are quite eerie, even without the film to support the music, and he employs dissonance and quick, powerful staccatos quite effectively. And when he turns to grand, sweeping themes, such as on the closing "Anything Is Possible," it's hard not get caught up in the momentum of the piece. It still works better with the film, but The Matrix is the rare score that is nearly as effective as a stand-alone work as it is in the film.

Customer Reviews

Dissapointed

I bought this album for only one piece of music, from when Neo and Trinity are getting "Lots of Guns" through the machine gun assault in the lobby to save Morpheus. In my opinion it is the best part of the movie and the most exiting piece of music. But to my shock ITS NOT IN THE SOUNDTRACK. Why????? It's the most memorable music from the Matrix, and one of the most important scenes in the movie. Why isn't it there???? I just wasted ten bucks, the rest of the songs aren't worth it. This is very dissapointing, doesn't anyone else agree?!

Very Good--But WHERE'S THE OTHER ONE?!

This perfectly accompanies the magnum opus of the Waikowski Bros, but where's the other album, the one with Rammstein, Marilyn Manson, Ministry, Propellerheads, and Meat Beat Manifesto on it? This one doesn't hold a candle to its counterpart!
