Amazon.co.uk Review
If you're going to pitch a movie about cyber-revolutionaries to plugged-in audiences, you'd best mind your MP3s and BPMs when choosing soundtrack selections. The cynical wireheads who flock to such high-tech conspiracy flicks as Brazil and Hackers are thrill0seekers of the highest calibre, and The Matrix soundtrack meets this challenge faster than a speeding cyborg. The opener, Marilyn Manson's anti-consumerism rant "Rock Is Dead", paints an aural portrait of urban decay. Ominous sirens permeate the Propellerheads' drum 'n' bass track "Spybreak!"; mournful piano alternates with hard shiny beats on Rob D's "Clubbed to Death"; and Meat Beat Manifesto fills "Prime Audio Soup" with enough bleeps to make one imagine being trapped inside a motherboard in Hell. It may sound dismal, but the friction permeating this compilation of techno, grind-core, and heavy metal is energising enough to make fans of these genres feel the same unity as a clandestine community of hackers. --Kristy Ojala

Customer Reviews

Nothing without the film
As the first album I ever bought, you would think I would have some kind of nostalgic connection to this soundtrack, if only I hadn't listened to it again recently...

Where once "Rock is Dead" was a thrill, and a song that I used to listen to endlessly. It is laughable now, inexplicably at the start of the soundtrack where as it was the second song on the closing credits in the film. If only Rob D's Clubbed to Death had been the template for most of the music on the film, instead of the tedious dance-rock and metal sludge that the film inspired. Also, for pure comedy value, Rammstein make an appearance. I dare you to keep a straight face.

Matrix Soundtrack
The soundtrack has an excellent disc full of rock songs from the movie and some extra's which are not included in the movie. My favourite track is Rob D: Clubbed to death. All the soundtracks and music from the movie is included and this is an excellent album for the Matrix fan.

Clubbed To Death
Clubbed to Death is the only song on it for which I panted and raved to get that CD. I love the film, and the soundtrack is A-OK!
