"The Matrix soundtrack amazing?"

The soundtrack to 'The Matrix’ is what gave the movie the feeling of action and adventure. Don Davis was the man behind 'The Matrix' soundtrack, this was Don's big break into the film scoring business. Don picked out the best people to help the recording for the music to be in The Matrix. He best choice I think was 'Rage against the machine'. I think that Don Davis has a great career ahead of him, I am not sure but I think that he is also making the soundtrack for the sequel to 'The Matrix', called 'The Matrix Reloaded'.

The album is one of the best ever to be released. The album includes recordings by Marilyn Manson, Prodigy, Rob Zombie, Rage against the machine, Rammstein and Deftones. The best on the album is 'Mindfields' by Prodigy. Each track has a beat to match the scene. This great collection of musical recordings from all of the latest singers is why 'The Matrix' has been such a worldwide success. Many people say that classical music is the main source used in modern movies, I don’t agree with this. Hans Zimmer was the composed of the Gladiator soundtrack, this was very successful and noticed all the time. I think that classical is best for the movies set back in time:
e.g. Gladiator
But The Matrix was more successful with the young gender, as Warner Bro's thought, this is why The Matrix has modern music such as rave init. 'Rage against the machine' have been successful because they try to create the right type of music to benefit what the music is for. This is the best band I know for movie or game recordings. They also have recordings for the 'Tony Hawks 1 + 2' games.

Gladiator - This had a very successful soundtrack, I think this is mainly because of how good a composer Hans Zimmer is. Ridley Scott had already worked with Hans in previous movies. This movie was to be his most successful achievement in his musical career. As I had already explained, 'Gladiator' was given the classical music to fit the mood of the film that is epic and action pilled into one.

What is your favourite movie soundtrack, and why?

Thanks Goatboy - I know it shouldn't annoy me but it has been playing on my mind while I've been working. Even more annoyed now because he accused me in public (mud sticks and all that) yet couldn't be bothered to follow up with the proof he claims to have or an appology.

CJC - I hope you're joking.

Anyway - only came on to check out this thread. Off to watch Survivor and get some dinner. Back later :)

asrogktjusaetg - you cheat!

I give it about 10 mins and then Dan comes here and starts screaming.
Don't worry about it, this happens every day mate, just close your ears and click your heels three times.

Go for it - what's the proof? As I know I didn't cheat I'm not particularly worried, but am interested to see what this proof is.

The only thing I can think of is that the first review I did (Pokemon Gold/Silver) is adapted from one I did for VGJ. However, being a reworking of my own work I don't think that's even cheating. The MSR review was used as a test piece when I was setting up GAMERS UK - but as that site never launched properly, and again, the review was a re-edit of my own work, I don't think that's cheating either.

The KKK review that I won game of the day for was an original piece I worte on Saturday afternoon when I got home from work. Please feel free to post the proof here - I'd be interested to see what you've came up with.

asrogktjusaetg is deeply shattered and here is the speech he gave me to annouce to the nation -

I had a dream, that when my four little children grew up that they would be playing Kuru Kuru Kururin but now that could be jepodised by er-no and you forum users. I feel ashamed for what I have done not only to Gameaday but to you people and esspically my children so I have decided that I am going to give Monkey_With_Attitude aka MWA my prize as he is expected to be paid for writing this but I was joking so I gotta give him something now :-D

(i wish i don't even know the bloke)

You cheated to win your gameaday, and I have proof!!

HA HA!!

What do you have to say for yourself?

You made that exact same post at the weekend in the "what's the best movie soundtrack ?" thread. Which I read, hence deja vu... or am I missing a hidden question?

What are you talking about?

The Matrix soundtrack is just a whole load of popular, 'cool' bands cobbled together for the purpose of selling a few records. I agree that some of the tracks are quite good (Rammstein, Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson) but ultimatly it's nothing more than a marketing exercise.

Deja Vu...
