The Matrix Reloaded: Limited Edition (2-CD Set) is a score album to the 2003 film The Matrix Reloaded . [1] It was officially released on August 27, 2013. Unlike the first soundtrack, which featured songs from the film, this release includes almost the entire film's score on two discs. Owing to licensing issues, the soundtrack does not include the film versions of two cues, Free Flight and Double Trouble.
Prior to the La-La Land release, a bootleg version had surfaced containing much the same material as the official release. However, despite being billed as the complete score, that album did not include a number of cues from the film, such as the extended version of the track "The Bane Transformation" and the cue directly after it, "The Bane Voyage".
