Varèse Sarabande Records have announced a huge new Matrix reissue consisting of the entire, unforgettable original score on vinyl.

Composed by Don Davis, this new three-LP release – which will ship on June 3, 2022, no doubt also affected by the current vinyl shortage – will feature the entire soundtrack of 44 songs, as well as a new interview with Don in the liner notes conducted by Kaya Savas.

Of the legendary music contained within, a statement from Varèse Sarabande reads: "From the clashing-brass 'reflections', to the racing strings, pounding percussion and flittering, repeating musical 'cells', the Matrix score fits hand-in-glove with the film’s concept of a computer-controlled reality – and offers a unique musical thumbprint that is recognisable sometimes only from a single note or chord. It is the rare commercial triumph that is also an artistic landmark."
