#THE GRID TRON LEGACY SOUNDTRACK CRACK#
While the Academy Awards overlooked the duo's hybrid electronic/orchestral score, it became the first soundtrack in five years to crack Billboard's pop Top 10, and sold over 70,000 copies in its first week of release, which is none too shabby a number these days. The novice film composers deftly paid homage to Wendy Carlos' score to the original TRON, judiciously incorporating it into their work while carving out their own territory with a mix of ambient sounds, techno-style synthpop and traditional orchestral motifs. But that's just the case of Daft Punk's acclaimed score to Tron: Legacy. Retrieved on November 19, 2010.It's not often here at The Second Disc that we get to report on a reissue project devoted to a release that's only three months old.
As a pre-order bonus for the album on the iTunes Store, "Derezzed" was released as a promotional single on November 9, 2010. A deluxe edition of the album will be released that includes a poster of the duo from the film.
A "special presentation" trailer featuring Daft Punk and their track " Derezzed" was released online on October 26, 2010. The first theatrical trailer for TRON: Legacy featured the track "The Game Has Changed". "Maybe I only saw it two or three times in my entire life, but the feel of it is strong even now, that I think the imprint of the first will not be erased by the new one. Guy-Manuel de Homem Christo also stated that the original TRON film was a strong influence on him as a child. Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk had previously produced the Irréversible soundtrack and served as sound effects director for the film Enter the Void.Ĭommenting on the TRON: Legacy score, Bangalter noted that "We knew from the start that there was no way we were going to do this film score with two synthesizers and a drum machine.” Daft Punk cited Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, John Carpenter, Vangelis and Maurice Jarre as inspiration for the soundtrack.
Daft Punk's score was arranged and orchestrated by Joseph Trapanese. Kosinski referred to the score as being a mixture of orchestral and electronic elements. When asked why he wished to work with the duo, Kosinski replied, "How could you not at least go to those guys?" The score features an 85-piece orchestra, recorded at AIR Lyndhurst Studios in London. TRON: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski and music supervisor Jason Bentley approached Daft Punk and requested that the duo compose the film score.
