My Musical Evolution – Part 359 21st Century Wake Up Neo

The Matrix SoundtrackHave you ever had a dream, Neo, that you were so sure was real? What if you were unable to wake from that dream? How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?

In the 21st Century, I bought a lot of movie soundtracks. I have always been fond of soundtracks but I preferred the symphonic scores that were typically attached to movies like Star Wars or Star Trek. In the 21st Century, I was buying a more soundtracks that featured contemporary music.

Films often had good mixes of music and were good introductory points for artist that I had yet to experience. Sometimes there would be a theme. Sometimes it would just be a good collection of songs.

I liked the movie The Matrix. It was an interesting concept and was rather ground breaking visually at the time. The music was beat driven club stuff.  This was inline with my move toward techno and dubstep. This album also featured a dash of metal. I’m fairly certain that Spybreak! was the song that prompted my purchase of this album. Again if I had downloaded that one song I’d have missed out on so many other cool tracks here.
