// Daft Punk - Tron: Legacy OST //
Rating: 3.8 out of 5
As nostalgic 80s-babies will soon flock to movie theatres in droves to catch the new update of the iconic sci-fi flick, fans of the film's audio have been treated to its monstrous soundtrack a little early. Orchestrated by electronic gods Daft Punk, the film's score is comprised of short-ish tracks that are intense and moody.
Well known for their plethora of party jams, the French duo display a drastically different kind of range with their work on this soundtrack. Sinister horns and white-knuckle string arrangements are featured throughout most of the album - a far cry from the dance anthems that got Daft Punk to the big show. Uppn reaching the end credits, my sense is that there's a bit of a sameness to each song. But that's kind of expected given the relatively limited scope of the project. Despite this small issue, each song is an absolute treat to listen to. Pick any one of the main tracks and turn it up as loud as your speakers will allow:
Summary: it's tricky comparing this to a normal album release because the of the narrow focus of the project. It's expected that there won't be a huge variety from song to song, but the entire thing is so masterfully put-together that it's impossible to not appreciate what they've done. The Tron: Legacy soundtrack is no doubt the work of polished professionals; add this to an already-impressive resume for the godfathers of electronica.
