Music from the film that does not appear on the soundtrack
 The music playing on Neo's headphones ("Dissolved Girl" by Massive Attack) when he is contacted by Trinity.
 "Plasticity" by Plastikman aka Richie Hawtin, when Neo meets Trinity at the night club.
 The background music when Neo fights Morpheus in the sparring program (Don Davis' "Bow Whisk Orchestra" [an anagram of "Wachowski Brothers"], combining semi-improvisational drumming, Lunatic Calm's mix of "Leave You Far Behind", and Davis' "Switch or Break Show" [also an anagram of "Wachowski Brothers"]. The version of "Leave You Far Behind" found in the soundtrack is the original album one, not the movie mix.).
 The music from Night of the Lepus that can be heard from the television set in the Oracle's living room is "Begin the Run" written by Jimmie Haskell.
 The faint music that can be heard when Neo meets the Oracle is of 1930s 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 original soundtrack (OST); parts of it received a separate release as The Matrix: Original Motion Picture Score.
