Product Description

Amazon.ca

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 thrillseekers 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 & 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, grindcore and heavy metal is energising enough to make fans of these genres feel the same unity as a clandestine community of hackers. --Kristy Ojala

3.0 out of 5 stars Not impressive! Jan 9 2004
Format:Audio CD
This CD soundtrack is not as good as the movie! I liked only few songs. u will need ear plugs if u wanna listen to these songs! Yeah, it has lots of techno-metal songs, but in my opinion, few of them are good. Those which will energize u are:
1. Clubbed to Death.
2. Dragula.
3. Leave you far behind.
4. Prime Audio Soup.
5. Spybreak: very appropriate for the lobby scene & kinda makes u feel the moment.
6. Mindfields.

(The Matrix: Original Motion Picture Score soundtrack) is much better than this CD. The soundtracks of the Matrix Reloaded & Revolutions are way much better too.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sorry about the confusion July 16 2004
Format:Audio CD
yipeeeeeeeeee!!!!!!! this was good. I espesially liked that one song by Rammstein. I also liked that one by Rage. the others are crap exept Club to death which has kind of a morbid title but it rocks your socks. oooooooooooooooooooo mayralin manson is a he/she. when i was listning to Club to death I tried to do t. the matrix sound track was good. i thought the matrix soundtrak was totally rad. just kidding. but not really.

5.0 out of 5 stars Almost perfect July 4 2004
Format:Audio CD
I dont hate ANY song on this album. In fact I love just about every single song, most of my favorite bands from the electronica/metal scene are on this album. From Ministry's "Bad Blood" (which will wake you up, I can assure you) to Rob Dougan's modern masterpiece "Clubbed to Death" this soundtrack will give you engery!

1. Rock Is Dead, Marilyn Manson- (metal) Not his best song by far, still not bad, we know what he sounds like... 8/10
2. Spybreak, Propellerheads- (electronica) the music from the goverment lobby scene, very upbeat with a bit of spy thrown in... 9/10
3. Bad Blood - Ministry (metal) takes some getting used to, but once you get used to the noise its good... 8/10
4. Clubbed to Death [Kurayamino Mix], Rob Dougan- (classical, electronica) Beautiful, a masterpiece, i have never tired of this song, one of my favorite songs of all time, Rob Dougan is a god, check out his CD and you can hear him sing! also known as 'The woman in the read dress song'... 11/10
5. Prime Audio Soup, Meat Beat Manifesto- (elcetronica) just the name of the band rocks, good example of early 90's dance scene... 10/10
6. Leave You Far Behind, Lunatic Calm- (electronica/ techno) this song is used in many soundtracks, energizing and fast... 10/10
7. Mindfields, The Prodigy- (electronica) awesome song, awesome band to be sure to check out there CD, The Fat of the Land, perfect example of late 90's British dance music... 10/10
8. Dragula [Hot Rod Herman Remix], Rob Zombie- (metal/ industrial electronica) PURE ENERGY, this song packs quite a punch, insanly good... 10/10
9. My Own Summer (Shove It), Deftones- (electronica i guess) I never really liked Deftones, the song sorta drags, with no real structure, not my favorite... 7/10
10. Ultrasonic Sound, Hive- (industrial electronica) another song with bite, can really lose yourself in this song... 9/10
11. Look to Your Orb for the Warning, Monster Magnet- (electronica (?)) strange song, very dark, grundgy, me like! 8.5/10
12. Du Hast, Rammstein- (Metal/Elecetronica) wow, another one of my all time favorite songs, its in German of course, first time i heard it the voice made me jump, this will really get the heart pumping!... 10/10
13. Wake Up, Rage Against the Machine- (metal) not a big fan of rage, but I do like this song, the guitar of this band is amazing, but i dont like the singer very much, its a great ending to the movie and soundtrack! ... 8/10

all in all it gets alot of my favorite artists, but it's a shame bands like Crystal Method (who really deseveres to be on this album (if u like this album be sure to check out Vegas)) and Chemical Brothers arent on here...and of course a dozen metal bands...

its worth the money, almost every song is worth the price of the album!
