TRON LEGACY SOUNDTRACK HIT FULL

It is easily one of the highlights of 2010 and shows what a little creativity can do. Daft Punk managed to create a large orchestral/electronic soundscape that sounds amazing. There has also been a re-release of the soundtrack, which is mostly remixes.Īside from the corrupt marketing strategy that has caused controversy surrounding the release, Tron Legacy is an impressive effort as far as techno goes. It's a pretty bad marketing strategy, as you need to keep dishing out money to get ahold of all of the additional songs.

Fourth and last is the limited edition of the score, which features an additional disk with 5 new tracks ('Encom Part 1', 'Encom Part 2', 'Round One', 'Castor', 'Reflections').

It is a bold, brassy, heroic motif representing the character of Kevin Flynn. The main theme for the film is heard right away in the Overture. The influences spread everywhere but the music manages to stay original throughout. There are some subtle references to Wendy Carlos's score for the original Tron, and there are even interenting nods to composers like Beethoven, Mozart, and even (slightly) Hans Zimmer. One interesting thing about Tron Legacy is that it doesn't just focus on the techno style it represent, but rather looks towards classical and contemporary music for inspiration. Techno beats combine with full orchestra (synthetic and otherwise) to explore sweeping themes. At times, it runs like a techno rave party CD. The soundscape of Tron Legacy is fairly unique. Unfortunately the release for Tron Legacy also managed to cause some controversy on Disney's part (more on that later). Surprisingly, Tron Legacy's score became quite popular.
