TRON LEGACY SOUNDTRACK FULL HD MOVIE
Daft Punk's score plays a vital role in making this poorly scripted mega movie seem bigger and more important than it actually is.Įven so, it hems frustratingly close to the sweeping classical film music style pioneered by John Williams ( Star Wars) and picked up by Howard Shore ( The Lord of the Rings) and Hans Zimmer ( The Dark Knight). Naturally, the music synchs a hell of a lot better when you're watching the stunning images it was made to accompany. And the music follows suit with endless crescendos of pounding timpani drums and monolithic strings. Almost all of the post-Han Solo humor that buoyed the original Tron is replaced by a thunderous seriousness (and blue-black color scheme) more akin to The Dark Knight. Most of the movie takes place in a virtual world that doesn't know sunlight- it's like a futuristic version of Tolkien's Mordor. When I watched it in IMAX 3D it was easy to revert back to my younger self and just gawk at the exquisite whiz-bang of it all. Tron: Legacy is rated PG and aimed at igniting the imaginations of 10-year-old boys. Dick-worthy, and they're oftentimes a huge bummer to boot. Most of the robot doomsaying can't compare with their ebullient side their apocalyptic visions are hardly Philip K. Electroma's two metal-machine leads commit harrowing self-destruct suicides. But their mechanized fantasies have gotten continually darker since then- consider the much more sinister robo effects on Human After All's "The Brainwasher" and "Television Rules the Nation". And Discovery's accompanying animated movie, Interstella 5555, was a bright and fun technicolor cartoon. On Discovery tracks like "Digital Love", "Something About Us", and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger", they employed robotic voice effects to bring out the childlike naïveté of artificial intelligence.

Bangalter and de Homem-Christo have flexed their robot obsession for years, but its nature has changed. The score keeps another trend going, too. Daft Punk haven't even attempted a can't-miss song in at least five years, and the Tron: Legacy soundtrack keeps that unfortunate streak alive. Their 2006 art-house indulgence Electroma went even further as it was directed by the twosome yet featured no new music. The pyramid, the gleaming helmets, and the lite-bright leather jackets brought Daft Punk's greatest hits to a holy, undiscovered realm. Since their last proper LP, 2005's Human After All, the pair staged the greatest dance music tour of all time- one that blasted its audience with enough visual stimuli to leave them blinking stars for hours. Over the course of the last decade, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter have increasingly relied on images to complement- and sometimes justify- their music. We’re also pretty sure a certain judgemental AI won’t roast you for listening to the album.Daft Punk aren't the same two guys who made Homework and Discovery. Typically, remix albums aren’t worth anyone’s time, but with appearances from heavyweights like Moby, Com Truise, Kaskade and Avicii, this one slays. Once you finish listening to the Complete Edition, it’s also well worth checking out Tron: Legacy Reconfigured.

The French duo hadn’t released a new studio album since 2005’s Human After All and it would be another three years after Tron: Legacy before they came out with Random Access Memories in 2013. However, this is the first time you can listen to them all in one place.īesides being a standout album on its own, the Tron: Legacy soundtrack came at a time when Daft Punk fans were hungry to hear something new from the group. It features the original score in its entirety and nine additional songs.Īs Polygon points out, those tracks aren’t new songs per se they’ve been available previously scattered about in vinyl editions and the like. Disney and Daft Punk have uploaded an extended edition of the score called Tron: Legacy - The Complete Edition to Spotify and Apple Music. And now you can listen to it in a fresh new way. Say what you will be about the film (which you can rewatch on Disney Plus), there’s no denying Daft Punk’s accompanying score was killer. Earlier this month, it was the 10th anniversary of Tron: Legacy.
