This is some seriously good shit. Fear Factory, Gravity Kills, Type O, KMFDM, Orbital, Sister Machine Gun, and Psykosonik all on one disc. You couldn't ask for a better overall soundtrack. I never knew that there was a censored version and an uncensored version of this disc.There is no "Goa Trance" on this CD though. I don't know why the hell that's included as a descriptor. Industrial, Industrial Metal/Gothic Metal, and Electronica are what this disc has to offer and boy does it offer.Buy this one before you get the other ones.

i'll also point out the numbering typo on the back cover art, where the Type O Negative track is misnumbered as track 13 and not track 11.

So only 828697.2, 828697-2, are not censored? What about other CD version?

Talk about an album that needs to be released on vinyl!!

This album introduced me to many kinds of music I like to listen now, it is very sentimental to me.

Just got a copy with matrix code "4R TVT 6110-2 RE-1 SRC##04." Tracks 2 & 4 are censored on this version as well.

I have created Various - Mortal Kombat (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) for the version with explicit lyrics, including matrix code and other identifying characteristics. (I own a copy of each version.)I suspect the censored variant was the "sanitized" release for Wal-mart. The missing lyrics are (track 2 @ 1:34) "I'm [fucking] tired and I'm saying goodbye", (track 14 @ 0:54, 2:10, 3:25) "she's a [fucking bitch]", and (track 14 @ 1:20, 2:36, 3:51) "slam my face in the [fucking] door". (Not 100% that this list is exhaustive.)

[Original message obsolete, see update.]

Don't be too sure... I've heard that there are copies that ARE clean but mine does not appear to be clean. I've read lyrics on the Internet that leave 'bitch' intact but replace 'fucking' with 'loving.' That doesn't happen on my copy either.

My copy of the explicit lyrics release has matrix code "4R TVT 6110-2 SRC##01". Censored release is "4R TVT 6110-2 RE-1 SRC@@01".

Can you post the matrix code around the inner hub of your CD? I am looking for the unedited version you have. If there is a difference between your copy and the matrix above, we can update the entry also.

Be careful, track 14 - What You See is cleaned out of 'bitch' words. UK release is not rated.

A landmark soundtrack of sorts, this was the one that got all the studio execs thinking "Hey, this techno and metal thing seems to go good together, and sells pretty nicely too. Let's do more." The soundtracks for Spawn and perhaps even The Matrix may owe something to Mortal Kombat's success. While many claim this was the one to get them into 'techno' (c'mon, that Immortals theme is irresistible!), for those who were already in the scene it may not have been much cop. Ironically, this release turned me onto some of the metal acts like Fear Factory and Type O Negative, stuff I'd never care about in those days. I guess it can work both ways, eh?
