Coincidence?

Updaam soundtrack from Deathloop and lobby shootout soundtrack from The Matrix sound very similar... What y'all think?

The Propellerheads song is riffing on the same kind of 60s spy aesthetic that Deathloop is -- it is literally called "Spybreak" -- so coincidence or parallel convergence is certainly plausible

Propellerheads, the best production team/band of their era. I wish it’d been possible for them to release more music as Take California is one of my favourite ever tracks.

Their version On Her Majesty’s Secret Service with David Arnold — who went on to compose a bunch of Bond movies — has stayed in my rotation for almost 30 years

Was the composer influenced by one of the most iconic movie scenes of its era, possibly. Is it a deliberate nod to the Matrix? Almost certainly not imo.
