Don Davis Matrix Revolutions: Music From The Motion Picture (2 LPs)

First Time On Vinyl. A suitably spooky, high-tech sonic backdrop to the third, final, and most visually stunning episode in the MATRIX trilogy, MATRIX REVOLUTIONS combines Don Davis's action-packed Star Wars-esque orchestral score with Juno Reactor's modernistic trance and hard-house dance music. The two seemingly disparate sides of the soundtrack actually work quite well together. Davis's score explores the movie's dark, medieval undercurrents with touches of Arvo Part-like, early-music-influenced dissonance, and Juno Reactor's hyper-mechanical beats and ethereal, disembodied vocalizing echo the frightening inhumanity of the robot bad guys. The artists' contributions combine nicely to provide a simultaneously chilling and invigorating listening experience.
