Matrix

Editorial Reviews
Album Description
John Burks 'Dizzy' Gillespie was a demi-God of 20th Century jazz, pioneering the revolution that was be-bop. And he was still pushing out the boundaries at Perception Records in 1970-71, fusing jazz and funk in the breathtaking style. Named after an oft-sampled dancefloor classic, "Matrix" boasts three Dizzy Albums: the in-demand "The Real Thing," the more contemplative "Portrait Of Jenny," and the in-concert recording "Giants."

If you're going to pitch a movie about cyber-revolutionaries to plugged-in audiences, you'd best mind your MP3s and BPMs when choosing soundtrack selections. The cynical wireheads who flock to such high-tech conspiracy flicks as Brazil and Hackers are thrillseekers of the highest caliber, and The Matrix soundtrack meets this challenge faster than a speeding cyborg. The opener, Marilyn Manson's anti-consumerism rant "Rock Is Dead," paints an aural portrait of urban decay. Ominous sirens permeate the Propellerheads' drum 'n' bass track "Spybreak!"; mournful piano alternates with hard shiny beats on Rob D's "Clubbed to Death"; and Meat Beat Manifesto fills "Prime Audio Soup" with enough bleeps to make one imagine being trapped inside a motherboard in Hell. It may sound dismal, but the friction permeating this compilation of techno, grindcore, and heavy metal is energizing enough to make fans of these genres feel the same unity as a clandestine community of hackers. --Kristy Ojala

if you liked the matrix - then you will love at least one or two of the tracks on this CD, course like most soundtracks you will likely think a couple of the tracks are complete rubbish.

5 out of 5 stars A perfect compliment..........2006-12-30

Coupling angry rock anthems and brutal techno melodies, `The Matrix Soundtrack' is one of the greatest compilation discs around. With great tracks by rock gods The Deftones (My Own Summer being one of the greatest rock songs ever), the devil himself Marilyn Manson (Rock is Dead is a brutal way to open this soundtrack) and German masochists Rammstein (Du Hast will never get old), this soundtrack is sure to please just about every fan of heavy rock. Rob Zombie gives us a great remix to a great song, Prodigy always pleases and Lunatic Calm gives us `Leave You Far Behind', which is like the essential action movie song. The greatest track here though has to be Rob. D's `Clubbed to Death' which is just fantastic, and who can forget the feeling they felt when Rage came on the stereo as the credits for this fantastic film began to roll (Wake Up is a great way to close the soundtrack as well as the movie). This is an impressive album that is sure to satisfy you hunger for good music!

Well, if you CAN'T find the 6-CD complete Matrix set described elsewhere, this is a fine taste indeed. Great sound quality and great ambiance, and a focused, confident Doors with effortlessly "on" vocals from Jim. Nice "Summertime" interlude in the middle of a "Light My Fire" jam. Classic stand, only a scoop's worth, but the coins are still gold.

What a waste, I have 6 CD's of these performances on a collector CD box set which blows this away. Even the editorial beginning says it was recorded in L.A(SF idiots, LOL). Anyway, if you can find the 6 CD version, far better collection. Search "Judemac forever" on msn.

It would be impossible--and unfair--to expect The Matrix Reloaded to surpass the dizzying special effects, philosophical mind-twisters, and wicked sci-fi mayhem of the first Matrix movie. The same holds true for its soundtrack sequel which, like the original, sets an ominous atmosphere with industrial beats, in-your-face metal riffs, and supersonic computerized techno. Highlights include Linkin Park's swirling morass of scratches, stutters and keyboards; the grooves thrown down by Oakenfold and Fluke that party with the gloom of a burned-out factory; and Rob Zombie, P.O.D., and Marilyn Manson's explosive, brain-bending digi-rock. Unfortunately, for the most part, the dark patches of Reloaded plod rather than soar (the Deftones' murky "Lucky You"), and rehash tired ideas instead of creating new frontiers (an Oakenfold remix of Dave Matthews Band that sticks out like khaki pants at a goth club). Surprisingly monotonous, Reloaded is unfortunately yet another second act that pales in comparison to its predecessor. --Annie Zaleski

Bought this for my husband and my son, they both love it. Said it's a must have.

5 out of 5 stars Music to kick@$$ to!.......2007-01-04

Arguably better than the first soundtrack, the second films music is straight in your face and that's how we like it. The perfect compliment to any high octane action flick, tracks by metal giants like Manson and Zombie get the disc kicked off but it's Chino who steals the whole show with offerings from both his bands. The Deftones offer us their softer side with `Lucky You' which is personally my favorite track here, and one of my favorite songs period. Chino's side band Team Sleep also offers one of the CD's best tracks. Chino is god, he knows this! Songs from techno giants like Fluke, Oakenfold (awesome track) and Rob Dougan litter the remainder of disc one (and Linkin Park delivers a disc highlight), and disc two settles down with a brilliant score for the film. Great compliment to the movie...in fact I'm tempted to say that this collection of rock and techno tracks may even be BETTER than the movie...tempted!

4 out of 5 stars A Great Bunch of Songs.......2005-12-23

This CD rocks, and includes a great variety of songs that go great together. Except Rage. Why include another Rage song? By this time they weren't even a band anymore. Also includes the best Linkin Park song ever. Why, I say that? Because there's no singing. If they put out an album of their instrumental stuff, I'd buy it. Ever LP song is a Japanese dude rapping with an annoying white guy screaming over him. Anyways, the Zombie, Manson, Dougan songs are all great. Wish they included another Rammstein song, though.

3 out of 5 stars Needs to be Reloaded again........2005-07-04

With the Success of the Matrix back in 99, it was only a matter of time before the sequel would arrive. Now along with the original Matrix came a hard-hitting soundtrack from today's top rock/metal bands. So with Reloaded also came the music soundtrack. And to put it bluntly the music surpasses the movie itself, but not by much. What we get for Reloaded is a two disc set with mixed results.

Disc one of Reloaded follows in the same footsteps of the first movie by bringing out the hard rock. The disc opens with a snooze from Linkin Park with "session" and only manages to get a little better after that. The tracks range from good, RATM's "Calm like a Bomb". To really poor, Team Sleep "pass portal". To the downright ugly, why in the world is the Dave Matthews band on here? The standout track is the ever good Rob Dougan's "Furious Angels". An epic combination of symphony and techno. Overall, a big letdown. 1 star.

Luckily we get a second disc that tries to redeem the first. Disc two encompasses Don Davis's score from the first movie carried over for the second, and in my opinion one of the best techno bands ever, Juno Reactor. With the combination of their two talents we get some excellent pulse pounding music in the "Mona Lisa Overdrive" and "the burly brawl." This music really helps you get into the action scenes. Disc two really helps the movie experience and is fun to listen to. 4 ½ stars.

As a bonus this cd comes enhanced with a couple trailers and a short making of the videogame for Enter the Matrix. Its not very insightful but they are still cool additions, which boosts this cd's score by ½ a star.

In closing, after the huge bar set by the Matrix its sequel just couldn't live up to the hype of the first. The film was bad but the soundtrack only manages to squeak by because of Davis's score and the nice addition with Juno Reactor. I only recommend this for the second cd and the extras, but even then I'd only buy it dirt cheap. 3 stars in the end.

The fist time I listened to disk 1 I thought I was trapped in a nightmare. If I were you I would buy it and stomp on disk 1 till it cracked or blow it up with explosives

5 out of 5 stars Rounds out the edges..........2007-01-05

Wow, a lot of reviewers have had a lot to say about this one. Well, I'm not going to say a lot because so much has already been said, just know that as far as scores go, this is one of the best, and even though I really wanted another hard rock/techno infused powerhouse of an album, the few songs provided by Pale 3 and Juno Reactor are enough to satisfy me (In My Head is just freaking awesome). Don Davis is genius here and provides a beautifully written piece of work that will burrow itself inside your head and stay with you. The final track Navras is reason enough to own this perfect compliment to a highly regarded franchise and serves as a nice way to round out this trilogy, not only of film but of music.

5 out of 5 stars Unique, Original, Definitive!.......2006-08-18

There is a lot to rave about regarding Don Davis' work on the Matrix scores, but the clearest and most appropriate compliment would be to attest to their uniqueness. He did not find the right sound for the film; he invented a completely new sound. That this new sound was also the right sound--the only right sound--is what beckons the listener to pay attention. This is not music for every occasion; it want lull your baby to sleep. But when the moment is right, and you are in the right mood, it is an experience like no other.

Whereas the score to Reloaded was a techno-feat that was pure fun, this score establishes deeper orchestral roots that take it to a more refined, emotional level. Listen to the many places to which the listener travels: the frenetic chaos of the action cues, the solemnity of the elegies, the operatic tidal wave of the full chorus, and the sublimity of the film's denouement. Each is united into a unique and altogether representative symphony that has come not just to underline the Matrix universe but to utterly define it.

Three cheers for Don Davis, with the unavoidable question: why don't you score more films?

5 out of 5 stars Perfection!.......2006-04-02

This score is absolutely astounding in every way. To say that it's musically complex is an understatement - it's often difficult and intricate to such a level that hasn't been seen much before or to such an extent - but unlike a lot of other complex and dissonant works, Revolutions is also so enjoyable and exciting thanks to it's ongoing energy and the sheer perfection of the music itself. Davis' tone for this movie and for the whole franchise has been spot on, which in itself is difficult to achieve, however, whereas the previous two scores incorporated a lot of techno riffs and beats, Revolutions thankfully allocates far more time to the orchestral elements, with only a few cues incorporating techno. I think this was wise; whereas in the first two movies, the techno element helped to contribute to that overall `cool' and `stylish' feel, by the time of the third movie, I feel the whole shiny black leather and cool shades image was quickly becoming cheesy and satirised and a back to basics, orchestral approach was far more appropriate.

Not that Davis delivered anything basic, far from it! As already mentioned the level of musical complexity is impressive and as it is, sounds unlike scores you may have heard before, a perfect and distinct sound for a distinct franchise. The tone here is generally dissonant and harsh with two predominant choirs in the music, strings and brass, with warm woodwinds pushed right into the background except for a few choice moments. This, along with the actual nature of the music, helps to create a sense of conflict between the two, which obviously suits the movie.

Despite its atonality, Revolutions is also often surprisingly melodic and unexpectedly produces some of the finest examples in film music of beautiful, uplifting and majestic moments. The love theme hinted at in Matrix Reloaded is given the full treatment here in Trinity Definitely and it is stunning - it's simple but achingly beautiful and effective and it's hard to imagine anything else fitting the scene so perfectly. Revolutions also gives the best rendition of the Main Titles so far with the now famous brass crescendo, wave effect perfectly complimented by the orchestration and leading into an exciting rhythm and chord progression. This alternating brass effect is such a neat and clever little motif and perfectly encapsulates the dreamy, warped sense of reality theme of the movie(s) - we're so used to the idea of a memorable melody or hook defining a franchise or representing the main themes and characters that I find it refreshing that such a simple technique can have exactly the same effect.

However, it is the action cues that impress the most and there are lots of them. It's very rare that you can say music is genuinely thrilling and exhilarating but from the exciting going to war cue Men in Metal right through to the score's epic highlight Neodammerung, the score never lets up in its energy, excitement and invention - the only other score I can think of that contains so many action cues but manages to keep them all fresh and exhilarating is Shearmur's Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and it must be so difficult to achieve but Davis manages it here seemingly effortlessly. Niobe's Run is exciting and frightening and gives the sense of being chased; Moribund Mifune is great `race against time' music; Saw Bitch Workhorse is un-relentlessly dissonant building to an almighty crescendo and Neodammerung is operatic and very classical sounding, with the truly immense choir singing over a simple chord progression and layered with timpani, constantly swirling strings and high woodwinds and the rest of the orchestra playing at top volume - it's breathless, absolutely perfect for the movie's big showdown and gives way to some great moments of the brass motif. It all ends with the glorious Spirit of the Universe, a wonderfully pastoral and uplifting contrast to all that's preceded it and gives a wonderful sense of a new dawn in utopia.

It's surprising just how good this score is, every cue perfectly compliments and augments the scenes they are accompanying whilst still being so enjoyable to listen to away from the movie - Davis manages to maintain this superior level of writing at all times with hardly any dull moments (at least in the fully orchestral cues anyway). The Matrix Revolutions is certainly an important achievement in film scoring not to mention Davis' career and is one of the best examples of modern action scoring if not one of the best in the genre, it's thrilling and always impressive, a master class in counterpoint, orchestration and musical development and above all, a highly enjoyable listen. Perfection.

5 out of 5 stars Breathtaking.......2005-01-12

While opinions on the movie of the same name are all over the map, one thing everyone agrees on is the incredible musical score to "The Matrix Revolutions" (warning: This review contains spoilers to the movie, so read with caution)

The Matrix Revolutions main title: The always haunting musical opening to the movie. Very good

The trainman cometh: Starts off gentle and happy, with Neo talking to Sati and her family. Calm, relaxing music plays while they talk, before beats start to come in, transfering to a frantic chase that goes along at breakneck speed in a fast beat.

Tetsujin: A quiet start with a foreboding Asian beat hints that its not all fun and games here. After a quick Asian beat down, we get some quiet harp and bean shakers. And then it's an all out war as electronic beats pulse while our heroes blast the oposition to smithereens.

In my Head: The only song on this track (thank goodness), this is actually quite catchy. I'll never be a fan of rock n roll, but this track is quite fun. Heavy on electronic insturments and only mild vocals, its a memorable song.

The road to sourceville: A quiet start shattered by a fast vocal, followed by quiet happy music as Neo is reunited with Trinity, then slow atmosphere while they visit the oracle for the last time.

Men in Metal: As the battle draws ever nearer, the war insturments (drums and such) begin to play as the soldiers prepare for the inevitable battle. A rousing speach gives them strength. This track is heavy on preparation music, and uses it well.

Niobies run: Quiet and atmospheric as Niobie and the others head closer to the tunnel, the music indicating the uneasiness as they try to slip past the sentinels. But of course they get spotted. Then its an all out frantic race as they zoom deep into the earth to try and escape with thier lives. In the Zion dock there's a few seconds of final preparation before the grim fighting begins. This track is heavy on "race for your life!" music.

Woman can drive: Things get desperate as the battle to save Zion continues. Niobie struggles to pilot the hammer to safety while being attacked non-stop. This track features more frantic racing and fighting music with drum beats.

Morbid Mifune: Pure war. This track excellently captures the horror and the hopelessness of the dock battle. The humans are doomed, but they keep fighting. With quick military beats and haunting vocals, this is a standout track. My favorite moment begins when the music is loud and filled with military beats as we see Mifune fighting for his life. As the kid tries to get ammo to him, the music truly shows how hopeless everything is, while also showing the will to keep fighting and not give up. A quiet military beat follows with the death of Mifune.

Kidfried: Thundering blasts as the Hammer closes in on Zion, followed by haunting vocals, and a standout moment where the Hammer zooms into Zion, where the music is heavy and quick and the vocals compete with quick beats as the end of the frantic race is in sight. Then all is quiet and calm as the first battle is won.

Saw B***h workhorse (what an odd name): The gloom of the real world shows itself as Neo and Trinity head towards the machine city. When they reach it's borders, heavy beats and ominous vocals give the feeling on huge bemoths guarding its borders. Yet hope remains among the chaos as we witness the wonder of Neo's power. A strong and gloomy (yet hopeful) track.

Trinity definitly: Out of all the tracks in all the matrix movies, this one stands out among the others. Its a pure musical track, with no electronic enhancments, no fancy beats, nothing. It's simply sad, quiet orchestra music. As Trinity lies dying within the Logos, Don Davis does a standout job of conveying the sadness of her death. I actually cried a little when I first heard this one because it's so sad, yet at the same time, dignified. It has an identity all its own because its so different from the music we've heard before. A standout track.

Neodammerung: If there was ever a contest to determine the best one on one fight music ever made, this would be in the top three. It's the apacolypse mixed in with heavy dramatic beats as two foes fight to the death, each carrying incredible power. You can really feel the dramatic wieght contanined within each beat as Neo and Smith face each other for the final time. The haunting vocals adds so much to the experience that its impossible to imagine the music withought them. When the two take to the skies, the music increases in drama and epic scope as the two fight high above the ground. Then theres the final moment where the two head straight towards each other, readying for the final blow that will determine the fight. I get goosebumps every time I hear it.

Why Mr. Anderson?: As Smith stands over the beaten Neo, he asks him why he does it. The music is sad and curious. The end is near. We can feel that Neo is beaten and how exhausted he is. A final brief fight commences before Smiths raw power and fury shows itself through quick and hard beats. Then the music swells in triumph as Smith is finally defeated before quietly drifting into nothing as "it is done"

Spirit of the universe: Happiness is mingled with sadness in this track. Everything is happy, yet the sad vocals appear when Neo's body is taken away. Then the music slowly swells upwards as the end arrives. Everything is over and finished. Then the music finally swells one last time as the sun rises in a big happy moment.

Navras: Fantastic vocals (male and female) really define this track as just about every insturment comes into play here. Drums, australian digery doos, pianos, electronic beats, and flute music comes into play for one grand finale of music. Truley stunning, and tied with Neodammerung as best track on the CD.

In my humble opinion, the third matrix movie has the best music of the entire trilogy. It's hard edgy no-nonsense action music, untainted by unnecessary songs. It's all insturmental and hard hitting, making it a truley magnificant soundtrack that I listen to almost everyday. A truly worthy buy.

5 out of 5 stars MIND BLOWING.......2004-12-12

I have not bought this CD yet... and I am not really a matrix fan however, my boyfriend is. On this cd, the song Navras made my boyfriend cry because of all the emotion that song brings. It is truely a good sound track and I cant wait to get it for him for christmas. If you love hard beats and soft strings this is the CD for you!

Call it an aggregation of some of the best contemporary percussionists: Trilok Gurtu, Zakir Hussain, and Asian Underground star Talvin Singh combine under the sonic washes of producer Bill Laswell to show the possibilities of Indian percussion. It's definitely a beatfest, but one of subtlety, where what is being said isn't as important as the way it's being stated, and the dialogue between hands includes a lot of silences. Gurtu comes from a more jazz tradition, Hussein a classical background, and Singh represents the brash young things of the dance floor. Mostly Laswell leaves it to them to provide the sonic entertainment, which is as it should be with delicate swathes of sound barely intruding, just coloring the proceedings. While it's not for everyone, those who love Indian percussion in all its forms will find this album a complete joy. --Chris Nickson

5 out of 5 stars Buy this now..........2006-10-24

It's interesting how the negative reviewer below can speak of "delving" into so many styles of music, yet evidently came into this album with a pre-conceived notion of what it should be. This album makes no claim or attempt to be "classical" Indian music, except for maybe the last track. This album IS a fresh collaboration among some of the world's most talented performers (Indian and otherwise) that had my jaw firmly planted on the ground from the moment I hit "play". Hearing traditional Indian instrumentation combined with western production proved to me that nirvana or a great album of any style can only be obtained with an open mind. Absolutely amazing. 10 stars...

5 out of 5 stars Still one of my favorites..........2006-05-07

I'd been a fan of Bill Laswell and Talvin Singh before, but this album introduced me to Tabla and the skill of Zakir Hussain. Years later, I own more classical tabla albums from Hussain and others, but I still come back to this one. I love it so much I started playing tabla this year.

Favorite tracks: "Palmistry" and "Alla."

1 out of 5 stars ?!.......2004-09-29

I really don't want to be mean, but I find this album very shallow. Classical Indian music is a very complex, subtle and beautiful thing. Comibining it in this way may help to get these wonderful tabla players to a wider audience, but the true energy has been tainted and lowered to make it palatable to simple-minded people who need westernized electronic and wishy-washy "world music" cliches. I don't find this music to be uplifting or enlightening or interesting. And this is not coming from a strict old fundamentalist of anything, I have delved deep into the avante guard, minimalism, "new music", eastern and western music theory, microtonal, etc. I would recomend jsut being a non-westernized album and getting the full benefit of tabla playing. However if your mainstay is jungle/drum&bass, then this would be a step up for you, so go for it, it is worth the pruchase in that case.

5 out of 5 stars oh,that Billy-boy!.......2004-07-15

mr laswell has done many things,but this was quite a suprise!it consists of both chilled and upbeat tala(a middle eastern hand drum)drumming mixed with laz's trademark electronica that gradually fades in and out of the songs.it's a real trip-an-a-half for anyone not ignorant enough to dismiss it as "boring".

5 out of 5 stars YOU CAN NEVER ESCAPE...THE HUNGER!! .......2007-04-26

If you are already wrecking your gray matter in trying to find the most skele-twisted, pumpkin-carving tunes for October, look no further fiends! Zombie Girl's "Back from the Dead EP" is a fresh, pulsating package of underground industrial-techno, a worm-caked dance with the demons. Containing four original tracks and three unique remixes, "Back From" occasionally exhibits a retro-psychedelic horror movie groove, which is more than suitable for any fan of Rob Zombie or the Electric Hellfire Club. Renee's morbid and sultry vocals are not once overshadowed by the stomping matrix rhythms produced by her spouse and DJ, Sebastian Komor. Both grisly and romantic underneath the strobe moonlight, the seemingly simple lyrics playfully link zombification with sexual fulfillment, embracing the most instinctual cravings while remaining tongue-in-cheek. I definitely recommend this record to all Goth fans (living or deceased) as well as Zombie Girl's 2007 debut LP. So what's left to say? Join us! Flesh and blood never tasted so good!

    Musically avant-garde elements have been utilized in film scores for decades, usually as shock elements to denote horror or the otherworldly. In recent times, modern composer Philip Glass has enjoyed varying degrees of success adapting his minimalist techniques to film scoring. Given that background, Don Davis's powerful, innovative score to the Wachowski brothers' 1999 sci-fi hit The Matrix has all the makings of a landmark. Utilizing his extensive interest and training in the avant-garde, Davis has composed what's been touted as the first "New York school postmodern" film score, a jarring departure from his hugely successful work as an orchestrator of such populist fare as Titanic, Pleasantville, A Bug's Life, and Toy Story. The Matrix weds Davis's mastery of musical detail and coloration to a largely atonal postmodern concerto that's complex, dark, and unrelenting. Many film scores have driven tonal writing and heroic motifs into the ground; Davis's deft, sparing use of them here places them in stark, effective relief. The Matrix offers up a rewarding orchestral challenge that may just be a decade--or two--ahead of its time. --Jerry McCulley

    I heard the score to the Matrix Revolutions film and was impressed... Therefore I decided to take a shot at the unforgettable Original Matrix; which was a mistake. This score doesn't move the emotional nerve nearly as much as the third counterpart. Don't bother if you can help it

    3 out of 5 stars Well, it's cool. Partially........2004-09-29

    This Don Davis score is not really a blown opportunity in my humble opinion, but indeed it is a bit messy.
    Don Davis has chosen an atonal approach with fluctuating volumes and busy motives underlining the orchestral pulsating. The atonal cues resemble Davis' work on "House on Haunted Hill" (which I prefer).
    If only he had spent a bit more score time on tonal action, I think the soundtrack could have been better.
    The first, the last and the "Hotel Ambush" cues stand out.

    This album is worth picking up if you are a score fan and if it is not too pricy.
    If you are a huge fan of tonal orchestral scores, this album is not recommended.
    This Matrix certainly is not a Jacobian.

    4 out of 5 stars I waited too long to get this soundtrack.......2003-11-18

    The Matrix is more than a movie to many people, especially my generation: young, defiant, and computer literate.

    I knew what I was getting with the soundtrack, having seen the movie itself a million times, and have listened to the following sequel's soundtracks.

    Don Davis, at his eerily best.

    There is no spoon.

    3 out of 5 stars THIS CD KICKS FOR WHAT'S THERE.......2003-10-16

    This score is awesome, and it totally sets the mood of the film. To answer an earlier question, on the music commentary on the Matrix dvd, Don Davis called the track "EXIT MR. HAT" because it's an anagram of "THE MATRIX." Anywho, this score is quite dark, and has a kind of thing going where the music echoes and sounds pretty bizarre, but cool. The only reason this cd isn't perfect is that there are too few tracks. I also have to recommend the Matrix Reloaded soundtrack, which totally owns this cd. I suggest buying both.

    Infinite Voice is one of my favorite albums to pop into the player after a long and difficult day at work. Its soothing lightly classical pieces with Koldenhoven's angelic vocals do much to sooth an agitated spirit and sing peace to the soul. Wonderful Darlene! We need more like this.

    4 out of 5 stars A beautiful voice.......2007-04-23

    A classically trained vocalist with a Master's Degree in music from the Chicago Conservatory College, the golden voiced Darlene Koldenhoven has participated in a number of high profile pop culture products. In the 1980's she appeared on jazz composer Clare Fisher's Brazilian jazz vocal project, Freefall, which was awarded a Grammy in 1986 for Best Jazz Vocal Performance by a Group. In the 90's she appeared in and served as choir director for both Sister Act films, and in 1994 sung with Yanni Live at the Acropolis, a concert film reportedly seen by nearly 500 million people worldwide. She has also sung on recordings with Celine Dion, Barbra Streisand, Pink Floyd, Rod Stewart, David Byrne, and Ramsey Lewis, among others, and has authored a set of musical instruction books and CDs entitled Train Your Voice.

    In the late 90's Koldenhoven began writing and producing her own solo recordings, including the adult contemporary Keys to the World, a gospel album called Free to Serve, and the Christmas album Heavenly Peace. This year she's back with an all new recording, entitled Infinite Voice, a collection of classically inspired compositions and new age arrangements of classics. Ms Koldenhoven's 5-ocatve voice is the only one featured on this recording, in some places layered to give a choral effect. Most of the instrumentation is synthetic, though several songs include acoustic instrumental performances from guitar, English Horn, oboe, flue, didgeridoo, and percussion.

    Infinite Voice is a delicate and beautiful recording that will appeal to fans of light classical vocals from the voices of equally talented singers such as Filippa Giordano, Hayley Westerna, or Sissel.
