Matrix fans can now pick up the sweet score to the original 1999 film on a limited edition vinyl picture disc. One side features the iconic green code so associated with the Matrix film series, while the flip side features Neo in a familiar action pose seen over the years. The vinyl is available now for order from Varèse Sarabande Records. Check out the packaging, pictures disc, and all of the other info, including the tracklisting for the release, down below!

"Unfortunately, no one can be told what The Matrix is. You'll have to see it for yourself." – Morpheus (Laurence Fishburne). Join Neo (Keanu Reeves) on his journey exploring the Matrix, accompanied by Don Davis' adrenaline-fueled score, now available on picture disc vinyl for the very first time, from Varèse Sarabande Records. Side A of this this exciting collectors' edition features an image of the Matrix's green code, while Side B shows Neo (Keanu Reeves) in full action mode. The soundtrack album weds Davis' mastery of musical detail and coloration to a largely atonal postmodern concerto that's complex, dark and unrelenting.

After the success of the first film, The Matrix, directed by The Wachowski Brothers, went on to become a billion-dollar franchise, and Don Davis' epic scores propelled the story forward across the trilogy, in which Keanu Reeves plays Neo, a computer hacker who learns from mysterious rebels about the true nature of his reality and his role in the war against its controllers. With news that The Matrix will be returning for a fourth installment in 2021, new and original fans are revisiting the film that started it all.
