Music 2 listen too...





While watching the Oscars the other night I still couldn't believe that the soundtrack to "Tron Legacy" hadn't at least been nominated...

I personally think it was the best score of the year. No matter what anyone thought about the film, there has been almost universal praise for the soundtrack. And it got shafted. Hollyw00d is filled with strange folk, I guess.

Well, now the Mouse is about to release (April 5th) a second album with the film's music. This time a remix of all the Daft Punk tracks done by various artist. I can't wait to get this. Nothing like driving along the coast at night with the cool wind blowing through your window and this awesome soundtrack to enhance the ride.

Now, there's more for you programs to 3njoy...

Ten Weeks, 10 Peeks...

Come on, Flynn...





It's hard to believe there are only ten weeks between now and the release of "Tron Legacy" from Walt Disney Pictures...

Over the next ten weeks the Mouse will have what is known as Tron Tuesday in which they will release clips/surprises from the upcoming film. This week the first is a clip from Daft Punk's score with the track: "The Game has Changed." Enjoy it and await each week until you can purchase that ticket. What a difference twenty-eight years makes.

The game really has changed...

Music 2 My Ears...

Yeah, mmmmmm mmmmmm...




Everything for "Tron Legacy" seems to be building very positively for the Mouse...

It's now been announced that the soundtrack to the sequel to the cult classic will be released almost a month before the film. November 22 will see Tron fans everywhere getting a preview of the film by being able to hear the music from it. Check out the official website for the soundtrack.

The official press release:

The highly anticipated original motion picture score for TRON: Legacy, composed and produced by the iconic and critically acclaimed Grammy® Award–winning French duo Daft Punk, will be released by Walt Disney Records on Monday, November 22, 2010. Presented in Disney Digital 3D™, Walt Disney Pictures’ “TRON: Legacy” hits U.S. theaters on December 17, 2010, in Disney Digital 3D™ and IMAX® 3D.

Having grown up with admiration of Disney’s groundbreaking original 1982 film “TRON,” Daft Punk took on the scoring of the next chapter of the story with extraordinary thought and precision. The duo assembled a symphony of one hundred world class musicians in London and recorded the orchestra at AIR Lyndhurst Studios, Britain’s premier scoring facility.

From Daft Punk’s first single release in 1993, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter were hailed as a new breed of electronic music innovators. Following their seminal debut in 1997 (Homework), the band went on to release two more studio albums (Discovery-2001, Human After All-2005) and two live albums (Alive 1997, Alive 2007), winning them both critical and popular acclaim throughout the world. Daft Punk are known as much for their music and technical innovation as their groundbreaking and elaborate visual universe, which centers around their irrepressible and mysterious Robot personas. In 2006, their directorial art house film debut, “Daft Punk’s Electroma,” premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and in 2007 they toured internationally with a jaw-dropping live show that was an awe-inspiring combination of their musical and visual prowess. Their collaboration with Kanye West on his #1 hit single “Stronger” was hailed as “The Song of the Year” by SPIN Magazine (January 2008 issue), which also saw Daft sharing the cover with Kanye, having been awarded “Tour of the Year” by the magazine. Daft Punk performed with West on the Grammy Awards in 2008, marking the mercurial duo’s first and only television appearance anywhere in the world. “TRON: Legacy” will mark Daft Punk’s first film score.

Looking forward to everything associated with this film: the movie, the music, the merchandise...

Punks Are Doing the Score...

The website Upcoming Film Scores is reporting that Daft Punk is recording the score for "Tron 2" and has gotten confirmation of this apparently...

This will be their first film score. Interesting move. Things are coming into play. People are starting to fit in the missing pieces of the puzzle. The story is being revealed to us, page by page... or maybe that should be webpage by webpage? This film has gone from almost zero to white hot in a little more than half a year.

Developing...
