Tron Legacy is getting closer, and I’m so fired up about it! My very nice GF (who happens to work for a movie company), was nice enough to bring home a promo poster for me last night. Growing up as an 80′s child, I can remember watching this over and over again, eventually wearing out the tape. I LOVE me some Tron.
Apparently Daft Punk do also, as they are responsible for the soundtrack to the upcoming Tron Legacy movie. Today I find myself in the possession of 6 songs they did for the soundtrack. Dark, heavily syncopated, and yet somehow lush is the only way I have to describe the material. If you are expecting fluffy “Around the World” type stuff here, you may be disappointed. This isn’t electro pop, this is true movie sound track material and I think it’s pretty solid. As with any movie, sound-tracks are closely tied with the scenes they are trying to convey, and I can only hope that dark, lush, and heavily syncopated will be the theme for the movie in general.
Best Wishes!
