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.
