I received an advance copy of the anticipated Tron Legacy soundtrack (thanks KT!), which was composed and produced by Daft Punk. On first listen, it's much more "soundtrack-y" and dark than I imagined it would be, with lots of orchestration and variation in pace. It's not your typical electronic dance music soundtrack that many may have expected. But then again, when does Daft Punk do anything typical? They skillfully manage to interlace the score of a full symphony with the electronic synth sounds they are known for. It's a masterfully crafted soundtrack that really showcases the intelligence and maturity of Daft Punk, taking the music of Tron to a whole new level.
Pumping this through my headphones as I go for a midnight ride on my bike, I find myself now stealthily floating through the darkness.. Suddenly, going to the corner store to buy something to drink has turned into an epic journey through The Grid to quench my thirst..
The CD drops December 7th.
