Not to be blunt, or brutal, or unfair, but rather to be succint: this record sucks. It's filled by music of third-rate wannabes and does not live up to the standard of quality set by other Matrix media. I threw it away.

The production quality is almost as bad as the depressingly awful music. Don't be fooled folks. The "artistic" hacks may love it, but beauty is TRUELY in the eye of the beholder. If you enjoyed the awesome first 3 soundtracks; don't waste your money on this one expecting more of the same.

Instead you will receive a CD chocked full of unimaginative (i.e. high-schoolers without talent playing on their home computers) techno and "spoken word" type lyrics that are laughably bad (but only if you didn't shell out $13.99 to listen to them).

I'm now the proud owner of a $14.00 coaster, b/c that's about all it's good for

The songs on this CD are nothing like the Matrix soundtracks. Their relatively slow beats and word-heavy songs make them more like listening to someone read poetry to the beat of a bongo than the fast-paced music from the movie. If you liked the movie soundtracks because of their fast-paced techno themes and (sometimes) operatic choruses, don't buy this CD.

This cd is awesome, a musical journey that stays true to the religious and philosophical concepts of the movie. electronica, techno, trip hop, its all on this cd.
Well thought out! Killer!

I'm fine with music soundtracks that are "inspired by...", or their musical score, but this is neither. It's a random collection of songs that doesn't fit any themes/moods of the Matrix movies. The songs aren't even done very well. I wasted at least 10 minutes of my life downloading this from Limewire. It was deleted soon after. I'd give it no stars if I could.

First of all, this album's sound is more like the Animatrix than the other Matrix music. A lot more down-tempo breakbeat weird ambient electronica and stuff. Though when I was listening to it first the album that really came to mind was 2 Days or Die by Atlas Plug. There is alot of good instrumental music on this album, but it's ruined by obnoxious voice samples and people talking over the music. Is it just me or do people not want to be babbled at while they're trying to listen to the music? I don't see how the talking and voice samples add to it at all, infact they really took away from my enjoyment. The music itself is great for what it is, so I guess if you're not bothered by people talking over your music you'll probably enjoy it.

This is the best I have ever heard in this genre of CD music. The music is out of this world....very intense. Very different in a great way! I hope Zednanreh will be releasing more stuff like this. He captures the feeling of the movie very well. He is more unique than the soundtracks are. They just give the standard run of the mill "artists of the month" to sell the CD's.

It helped me to understand the content of the movie even better.
I highly recommend this not only to matrix fans, but fans of 2012 prophecy and global conspiracy theorists as well. Lovers of chill out, techno, and house - even industrial will also praise this cd.

Very deep concepts that seem to be inspired by the writings of David Icke as much as the matrix! David icke himself expands on the matrix concepts. check out his web site davidicke.com and see the interwoven themes between icke, zednanreh and the Matrix trilogy. Well done... The song titles and artists even carry the theme....ingenious!

I thought this was a great record. It has more dimension than the soundtrack. A record "inspired" by a movie is not supposed be a carbon copy.....for that by the original. I am assuming if you are matrix fan, you already have the original soundtracks. Why would you need two? I feel the point of this record was to explore the THEMES of the films, not be a rip off of the music already done. IT did just that...However if you lack the depth; a philosophical piece like this is not for you. GREAT CD!!!!

This is one of the best cd's released in its category! The songs blend together in a virtual journey through space and time!!!This cd will take you where you've never been before...like the Matrix, it is deep, philosophical and with concepts that really open your eyes...and of course your ears :) Listen to it more then once--get into it; you'll see the truth and the powerful message behind it. A MUST HAVE!!!don't skip this one--great blend of tunes--original, unique--you will not regret it, I PROMISE!
