The Matrix: Music from the Motion Picture is one of the two 1999 soundtrack albums from the blockbuster film, The Matrix (the other being The Matrix: Original Motion Picture Score).

It also included a number of songs that were not present in the film.

Tracks missing from the OST

• The music playing on Neo's headphones ("Dissolved Girl" by Massive Attack) when he is contacted by Trinity.
• The background music when Neo fights Morpheus in the sparring program (Don Davis' "Bow Whisk Orchestra", combining semi-improvisational drumming, "Lunatic Calm's" mix of "Leave You Far Behind", and Davis' "Switch or Break Show" [an anagram of "Wachowski brothers"]).
• The music from Night of the Lepus that can be heard from the television set in the Oracles living room is "Begin the Run" written by Jimmie Haskell.
• The faint music that can be heard when Neo meets the Oracle is of 1930's 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 OST; parts of it received a separate release as The Matrix: Original Motion Picture Score, and low-quality MP3s of much of the remainder is available at Davis' website.
