Music from the film that does not appear on the soundtrack
[edit]- The music playing on Neo's headphones ("Dissolved Girl" by Massive Attack) when he is contacted by Trinity.
- "Plasticity" by Plastikman aka Richie Hawtin, when Neo meets Trinity at the night club.
- The background music when Neo fights Morpheus in the sparring program (Don Davis' "Bow Whisk Orchestra" [an anagram of "Wachowski Brothers"], combining semi-improvisational drumming, Lunatic Calm's mix of "Leave You Far Behind", and Davis' "Switch or Break Show" [also an anagram of "Wachowski Brothers"]. The version of "Leave You Far Behind" found in the soundtrack is the original album one, not the movie mix.).
- The music from Night of the Lepus that can be heard from the television set in the Oracle's living room is "Begin the Run" written by Jimmie Haskell.
- The faint music that can be heard when Neo meets the Oracle is of 1930s jazz origin - "Minor Swing" by guitarist Django Reinhardt is followed by composer Duke Ellington's "I'm Beginning to See the Light".
- A track from "The Eyes of Truth", by the musical project Enigma, was used for the movie's worldwide trailer.
- A track similar to "The Eyes of Truth" titled "The Conquest of Truth" composed and recorded by Paul Hanson for Music Junkies was used for the DVD main menu.
- A track titled "(Can't You) Trip Like I Do", a collaboration between the groups Filter and The Crystal Method, was used for the theatrical trailer of the movie. This track can be found on the Spawn soundtrack album.
- None of the orchestral score in the movie was used in the original soundtrack (OST); parts of it received a separate release as The Matrix: Original Motion Picture Score.
