Dec 7, 2010Encompassing the past, present, and future of sci-fi scores, Tron: Legacy feels like it grew and mutated from its origins the same way the film's world did. Without a doubt, it's a game-changer for Daft Punk.
-
Dec 7, 2010Although not musically revolutionary, Tron: Legacy suggests the adrenaline rush of a black panther roaming nearby in the darkness, heard but not yet seen.
-
Jan 11, 2011After listening to Legacy it seems difficult to imagine anyone else achieving what they have whilst working with Disney studios.
-
Dec 7, 2010The artists' masks are designed precisely to keep us guessing about what's going on in their heads, but who knew it was this?
-
Dec 13, 2010For all of its familiar traces, this soundtrack offers little more than 22 pleasant teasers to distract die-hards until the duo undergo a proper reboot.
-
Dec 7, 2010It's a hint of what may come, a bridge to something greater than this first, tentative attempt at a more ornate sound.
-
Dec 8, 2010As a stand-alone album, what Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter have created won't sate the disco heads screaming for more club material, however as an accomplished score it can only make a legendary film yet more cherished.
-
Jan 11, 2011By blending past and present (and future), Daft Punk has created an album that speaks not only to the movie it scores, but also to the evolution of music that has allowed them to create the album in the first place.
-
Jan 10, 2011The Tron: Legacy Soundtrack is quality, but it's easy to ignore, wholly capable of disappearing into the background--which is ultimately how soundtracks are supposed to be, is it not?
-
Dec 7, 2010Tron: Legacy is a remarkable reminder of how electronic music can equal the emotional nuance and resonance of any ballad, torch song or symphonic pop track.
-
Dec 7, 2010On TRON: Legacy, they lead an orchestra through incidental cues that must sound awfully dramatic inside a multiplex.
-
Dec 7, 2010In a genre all about timbre, there's no production duo that sounds as good. This system works just as well out of the club and in the concert hall with the Tron: Legacy score.
-
Dec 7, 2010One of the most eagerly awaited soundtrack albums for years is a laudable success, provided you approach it in the right way. It might not give up its treasures immediately, but if you provide widescreen sound or a pair of expensive headphones, the sonic treats are considerable and mighty.
-
Dec 7, 2010On the evidence of this stunning piece of music, we'd all do well to give a bit more of ourselves over to the machine.
-
Dec 7, 2010That Daft Punk achieved this career highlight with Tron Legacy is yet another example of the duo's adaptable form, and a sign that there is still uncharted territory beneath those helmets.
-
Dec 7, 2010That Daft Punk's Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter would score Tron: Legacy seems destined.
-
Dec 7, 2010It all functions fine as mood music, but that interchangeability-especially combined with the incredibly brief run times of its tracks--makes for a listening experience probably best appreciated on the big screen.
-
Dec 7, 2010We'll never know what goes on behind the helmets, but who cares? The sheer audacity of this action-movie-reboot soundtrack is its own reward.
