i agree. i just saw the matrix and the soundtrack was absolutely
apalling. it seems they're willing to put big $ in special effects/etc
in movies these days, but these futuristic types of movies always
have the same crap music: noisey beats with plenty of guitar
a la ministry, rammstein, rage against the machine, marilyn manson,
etc, etc, etc. dammnit, how can they be so clueless when it comes
to putting together soundtracks these days? it's hard to appreciate
a movie's visuals when they're accompanied by formulaic pap
like that. andrew
