Spoon boy: Do not hope for a CD release. That's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth. Neo: What truth? Spoon boy: There will be no CD. Neo: There will be no CD? Spoon boy: Then you will see it is not the CD that sells, it is only...vinyl. Neo: *flings spoon* I don't believe it! I want out! Operator!

"Expanded to 44 tracks." The Varèse cd deluxe from 2008 had 30 tracks. I guess that one was incomplete then. Let's hope this new edition gets a cd release. Yes, and it never claimed to be complete, though I don't remember anything substantial missing.

Yes, and it never claimed to be complete, though I don't remember anything substantial missing. For me the most glaring omission was the clanking, metallic music that plays when Neo and Trinity enter the lobby, right before the shoot-out. Other than that I agree.

There was also some micro-editing. For example in "Ontological Shock", just before the helicopter's tank is hit by a bullet : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9JZ1L1cD80. It has always annoyed me, because I find the film version better, more dramatic. The missing "fermata" added tension before the big "John Adams" moment.

No MC cassette tape = No sale.

No MC cassette tape = No sale. 5 bucks says the CD will be announced in the next batch of club titles, given the roughly 2.5 months between Club drops since early last year, the timing would put itself sometime around the Record Store Day. it's a no brainer that Varese would Deluxe this. Also, outside of the incomplete, micro-edited previous Deluxe edition, it was also flawed with a few digital errors (Pops) AND the album was mixed down from a 5.1 source which made the sound tinny and crummy compared to the first album. I'm trying to pull up the source that documents the mixing thing as I'm going from questionable memory. I think it was on Wikipedia at some point, but no longer. Either way, what's coming should satisfy those who wanted more and no one else. LOL

It's ridiculous - one of the most important movie scores of all time, and no CD release...

This was a Record Store Day announcement (bundled with a half dozen other LP editions, by the way). Why people would *assume* this means no corresponding CD edition is coming, I have no idea. The CD Club is a separate thing with separate announcement protocol. No offense...but why don’t folks at least wait for the next CD Club announcement before throwing a fit? Do you really imagine Varese thinks a complete THE MATRIX has sales potential on LP, but not CD? I don’t think we are at that point yet, or the CD Club itself would have already been discontinued.

IT's not a bad assumption to make. Here is what we know: MV has said it takes way way longer to make LP's than CD's. It costs a lot of money to produce a CD, which is just sitting there waiting to make a profit off of, so it's not like the Cd is being held back for who knows how long. CD's have to be signed off on in multiple ways, which can take time, even years. There's zero way to time it so the CD comes out right after the LP. It would be PURELY COINCIDENTAL if it happened.

Yavar This protocol is just highly irregular. Their LPs typically follow CD releases. To have it premiere on LP is a strange move. Given the current climate of music releases (re: Unsolved Mysteries, Young Guns, and A Nightmare Reimagined) it's a knee-jerk reaction to a trend that's adding nothing, but robbed us of those three releases on CD. Varese hasn't done anything like that, but this backward order was... interesting. Them killing the Encore series and switching to cheap cardboard boxes definitely shows them leaning in a different direction than years prior. Also, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was only supposed to be an LP release before the fan frenzy took off, so that latent fear (of an admitted First World problem) remains.

What's wrong with saying 'CD Release Coming Soon', 'Other formats in the works', or anything else that leaves fans with the impression that this LP release isn't the end-all be-all of the complete Matrix score? The thinking is probably that the die hard Matrix fans are going to want the music regardless of the format. If they said "CD coming soon" that would likely impact the sales of the LP. Is it sneaky? Yeah. But I can understand why they do it. If you're releasing the same music in two different formats at two different times, why would you announce the second release, potentially dissuading buyers who might have otherwise ended up buying BOTH releases (in what the labels probably consider the "ideal" situation aka the famed "double dipper")?
