Interesting observations. I noted the shift between atonality and dissonance to consonance and tonal centred music content as the trilogy unfolded. It's a great example of high art colliding with pop art. The level of writing for this series was just next level.
The expanded CDs are a true gift. And for those who enjoy analyzing scores, the Omni Music Publishing full score to The Matrix is outstanding.
Yeah, I have the two La La Land expansions of the second and third scores, but I never picked up the first one. Always figured an expansion has to come eventually, and I hate double-dipping.
