THE MATRIX - Motion Picture Soundtrack

This groundbreaking film went a similar direction as soundtracks like
Spawn did, combining an electronic and metal sound by picking some choice acts. How else can you represent an audio reflection of the onscreen scenes' impact, created by the Wachowski Bros. and bigtime producer Joel Silver? The 13 tracks kick off with shocker Marilyn Manson's Rock Is Dead. From there the list doesn't get weaker: electro-metallers Ministry, monster rocker Rob Zombie, big-ass beat-blasters Prodigy, intense Deftones, German beasts Rammstein, conscious hard rockers Rage Against The Machine and stoner rock group Monster Magnet. Hive's Ultrasonic Sound is an absolute classic. Rob D's cinematic Clubbed To Death gets a Kurayamino mix. Propellerheads, Lunatic Calm and Meat Beat Manifesto completes this killer soundtrack. Unfortunately the disc holds none of Don Davis' orchestral music, but is still one hell of a disc nonetheless.
