Very disappointed the Matrix Deluxe edition is not available for download. Having missed out on the CD one can only hope that Varese reissues the CD or eventually makes it available to download in all regions.
The Matrix needs a real deluxe edition, sans micro-edits and featuring everything written for the movie.
Star Trek 2009 needs a proper Deluxe Edition as well. No micro-edits and everything included that was written for the film. It would also be good for the score to be topped off with the percussion overdubs by Chris Tilton as heard in the movie as well.
This so called "Deluxe Edition" for Star Trek 2009 feels like a personal edit that Townson did.
Bobby T. did nothing with the Star Trek Deluxe in regards to the music. He received the track list and files from the composer and that was that.

iTunes and Tidal are the only platforms available in my territory offering downloads, and neither of them have The Matrix, Star Trek and Star Trek Beyond.
7digital has The Matrix for download in 16-bit FLAC.

Qobuz is terrific, I have bought several lossless and high-res albums there (they don't have lossy files, which I wouldn't buy anyway), they have excellent customer service as well if anything ever goes wrong.
I can say I already have on CD most of the stuff Varèse is now releasing as Digital Dowload, but I welcome the step if future releases will be available as lossless or high-res downloads.
I still buy CDs, in case of deluxe film scores because there is often no other option, and because of the nice booklets, but if Varèse or Intrada now release stuff as digital downloads, it's great. I mean, the postage for a single CD from the US costs as much as the CD itself, so I'd definitely switch to lossless/high-res downloads only in cases where the CD would be considerably more expensive. I'm running out of physical shelf space anyway. :-)
