Anyone who’s seen The Matrix has been exposed to Massive Attack in one of the most famous scenes from the movie:

In fact, I recall many songs from The Matrix being played nonstop back in my teenage gamer IRC days. Maybe even by others than just me

As a note, that version is a pre-release version that was used in the movie before the album released. The album version is different.

My Massive Attack is a bit rusty. What song is that?

  • Dissolved Girl from the album Mezzanine, though as another commenter mentioned elsewhere, a different version of the track is used in the film

Or indeed the TV series House, albeit in the US.

  • Some people in Europe have Televisions, too.

    • The show 'House' has used three different opening tracks depending on territory and medium.

      Massive Attack's Teardrop was used in the original US air (although as a Brit I've somehow heard all three on tv re-runs and Amazon Prime)
