I for one do and in MY honest opinion I think they are underappreciated, underrated. Well most people like the first score...but Reloaded and Revolutions' scores are good. In my opinion The Matrix Revolutions is by far the best Matrix score that Davis did. That one is definitely one that doesn't get much appreciation. So how about it, how many here like all the music?

Edit: BTW I know Davis used a piledriver in the Matrix scores....question, what the hell does a piledriver look like?

Not to be rude or anything but for you to say that he went into "Horner territory" is utter bull crap.

The first score is fantastic. If anything, Varese should release a deluxe edition CD of the original Matrix score. A club release? A SACD hybrid? Yeah, whatever... the format doesn't matter. As long as it's under $20 and runs 70 minutes.

Not every time I write the name "Horner" do I refer to his copying of themes. Of course the Matrix scores have to be consistent; if anything, I find them not consistent enough, as should be obvious if you read my first post.

What I was talking about is a certain "bombast sound" which is similar to Horner's *style*. If I'm not mistaken, Davis did some orchestrations for Horner, so it isn't surprising that even the first Matrix score shows some clear Horner influences - the sentinel motif sounds very reminiscent of some Aliens stuff to me.

IMHO fo cuores,

I can see what you mean though by Horner territory and I fully agree with your description of the trilogy. On the other hand, the generic bombast gives Revolution a more consistent and less experimental sound, so that has its advantages as well.

Edit: Like I said there's definitely NO sentinel motif in the Ripley's Rescue cue and the spot you mentioned DOES NOT even sound close to the sentinel theme.

Ok, I am miss the point.

Next.

Has anyone been petitioning Varese about this?<HR size=1></BLOCKQUOTE>

Yeah I hear ya on that one! The one that Varese originally released was a joke! As one of my friends pointed out it was nothing more than a "sampler" CD and he was right. I don't think there's a petition going for that. I also don't think that it would be under $20.00...it might who knows, but it would be nice if Varese released the full score for The Matrix. Actually I wished all 3 would get a proper full release.

We got screweed over on Matrix Reloaded...the 2-disc album was a joke...The 2nd disc had very little Davis cues on it less than the first Matrix score CD if I remember correctly. It's stuff like that when music companies can release these 2-disc "album" sets to a score they should release the full score right then and there instead of just these stupid meesly OST "sampler" CD's.

Trent

Edit: Just checked, the Davis cues on the Reloaded 2-disc "Album" are only 7 in total...3 less than the first Matrix score. The Matrix Revolutions had the most which was 16 cues.
