Product Description

From Amazon.com
Musically avant-garde elements have been utilized in film scores for decades, usually as shock elements to denote horror or the otherworldly. In recent times, modern composer Philip Glass has enjoyed varying degrees of success adapting his minimalist techniques to film scoring. Given that background, Don Davis's powerful, innovative score to the Wachowski brothers' 1999 sci-fi hit The Matrix has all the makings of a landmark. Utilizing his extensive interest and training in the avant-garde, Davis has composed what's been touted as the first "New York school postmodern" film score, a jarring departure from his hugely successful work as an orchestrator of such populist fare as Titanic, Pleasantville, A Bug's Life, and Toy Story. The Matrix weds Davis's mastery of musical detail and coloration to a largely atonal postmodern concerto that's complex, dark, and unrelenting. Many film scores have driven tonal writing and heroic motifs into the ground; Davis's deft, sparing use of them here places them in stark, effective relief. The Matrix offers up a rewarding orchestral challenge that may just be a decade--or two--ahead of its time. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars Matrix soundtack, 14 May 2003
This soundtrack is the first in the line of matrix soundtracks and is great this soundtrack has inspired some artists such as ramminstein, deftones and also taken tracks from the film like marlion manson, rage against the machine, rob zombie it is a must have.

3.0 out of 5 stars more evocative of the film than the rock version, 27 Nov 2000
By khoddy@lineone.net (Bournemouth, England) - See all my reviews
originals scores are often scorned for the more popular version that features known musicians, but this score that is more evocative than the 'soundtrack'. this music is the stage on which the Matrix is set, and is intrinsic to the tension and action during the film. I recognise more of this music than i do of the other soundtrack, and some of the lovliest melodies are part of this score. Admittedly i only gave it three stars, as it does lose some appeal out of the film environment, but not enough to stop it from being a most enjoyable cd to listen to whilst surfing the net!!
