c'mon for chrissakes, haven't you guys realized now that it's hollywood, and that's what they belive (and it's part, it's true) that that is what the public wants to see... what would you think if you heard "good" music with the matrix...? part of the fun of that horrible film is that it's so typical of 90's bad filmmaking... -joshua...

Horrible? Hardly. Visually stunning, which can make up for a lot of other flaws (my eyes hurt from visual overload when I got home). I have to think that the director(s?) did LOTS of acid & nitrous at some point in their life, because they perfectly captured that incredibly altered sense of time which occurs when (ab)using those drugs in combination - the casings hitting the marble especially. And I'm always a sucker for a phildickian storyline. But the music sucked, and sucked hard. The cliched overblown faux classical during the helicopter scene was annoying to the point of distraction. I actually had to stick my fingers in my ears during the end credits - it was that bad. I can't help but compare this movie with The Fifth Element, which had a much less thought-provoking storyline, but much much better music, which interacted w/ the visuals. I actually bought that soundtrack, and I still listen to it. I wound up seeing 5th Element something like 5 or 6 times, but because of the music I'm much less inclined to repeat on The Matrix.

I think Carl Craig must be a Goblin fan - there's a track named "Suspiria" on his latest. Seems like I have the original soundtrack on vinyl somewher - a masterpiece. Che NP: Five Millenia Later (5th Element Soundtrack) picturing Milla on the ledge about to leap...
