Sounds of the Grid


This Friday, epicness will happen.  Tron: Legacy is released in theatres and it has been quite a wait.  I remember reading about the movie a couple of years ago when there were only rumors exciting the many of us online.  One of the exciting features of the movie was that Daft Punk was in charge of the entire soundtrack.  I have always been a fan of Daft Punk since I first heard them over a decade ago.  Just getting back into the Techno and Electro scene, especially that of the Euro scene, I had not heard much from the French duo in years.  But hearing the bits on Youtube months ago got me amped up.  I knew it was an album I had to have.  It had been years since I last bought a cd.... at least five.  And with the release of TRON: Legacy's OST, I knew I had to have it.  So I purchased it and am quite pleased.  The music is great and am very much in love with the Electro/orchestra mash-up done.  I highly suggest it.  A great way leading to the movie this weekend.


The CD came in a cardboard-like case instead of full plastic.  The front has this finish that has a reflective metallic feel to it.  The disc itself is quite interesting.  On the onset, it looks like the printed side is just a light-disc but when turned over, it is entirely black.  Then the booklet has some information on the history of Joseph Kosinski's collaboration with Daft Punk and some words by Steven Lisberger, the person in charge of the original TRON OST.


The above is the music video Derezzed, which is #13 on the soundtrack.
