The fourth instalment's soundtrack is also now available and features Marcel Dettmann

With the highly anticipated release of the new blockbuster movie The Matrix Resurrections, it seemed perfect timing for the original trilogy’s 44 tracks to get remastered and pressed for all those diehard Neo fans.

Currently available for pre-order, The Matrix: The Complete Edition, is set to be released on June 3rd 2022 and will also be available in CD format.

Coming packaged in the distinctive Matrix neon green, the collectable item will feature a fold out case which includes an interview with the original composer Don Davis. Titled ‘Making the Matrix’, the interview offers a behind the scenes look at how the American composer pieced together this iconic soundtrack.

Can’t wait until June? Well, there’s more good news for fans of the franchise, as the fourth instalment’s soundtrack was released last week on December 17th. Created by the Oscar nominated pairing of Johnny Kilmek and Tom Tykwer, the musician and composer duo have been working together for almost 25 years.

Complementing the original score of 24 tracks, sees an additional 11 remixes to complete the 35 strong tracklist. The likes of German techno artists Marcel Dettmann, Gudrun Gut and System 01 all feature on the new soundtrack. Check out Dettman’s remix of “My Dream Ended Here” below.

The Matrix Resurrections is set to hit cinemas on December 22nd. Until then you can stream/download The Matrix Resurrections soundtrack here and pre-order the remastered original soundtrack on vinyl here.
