I thought I'd take this opportunity to express my
profound shock and disgust at the soundtrack used for
the new Matrix movie. Juno Reactor? Oakenfold?
Oakenfold remixing Dave Matthews? Geez. I thought
this was a movie about technology, future,
possibilities, etc. Jason Bentley managed to put
together a soundtrack that ranks up there with Mortal
Kombat's in the bad-factor, IMO. I left the theatre
thinking about how Blade Runner continues to be
unmatched when it comes to future dystopias *and*
marvelling at how Vangelis' score to Blade Runner
continues to be timeless and futuristic after 15+
years. Here's to hoping that Madonna either gives up
her association with Jason Bentley (the SDTK is
released on Maverick, which at least would explain the
Oakenfold connection; Don Davis scored again, but
Bentley is the one we can "thank" for the rest) or that
Bentley works a bit harder on coming up with something
futuristic. Again, I say: Juno Reactor? Dave
Matthews? Urgh. End of rant. Andrew
