Stream Daft Punk’s ‘Tron Legacy’
It’s hard to remember a movie soundtrack that’s generated as much heated enthusiasm as ‘Tron Legacy’. The soundtrack has been produced by Daft Punk – the French robot duo that pretty much single handedly catalysed popular music’s current obsession with ‘80’s influenced electro sounds. Already there have been several hoax tracks leaked on the web claiming to be from the film, such is the clamour of excitement surrounding all things Daft Punk. With bloggers furiously speculating on what the tracks may sound like and potential remix packages, the levels of anticipation that the soundtrack for ‘Tron Legacy’ has produced could probably out way the actual movie.
Well now the wait is over… You can now stream tracks from Daft Punk’s score direct from the Tron Legacy official site. However, those expecting something akin to Daft Punk’s more tuneful moments (‘One More Time’ / ‘Harder Better Faster’) may be disappointed. What we’re presented with, so far, is a more orthodox sci-fi soundtrack awash with moody synth action a la Vangelis or Tangerine Dream.
Those feeling nostalgic for the party rocking, robot helmet wearing Daft Punk should check out the above video that shows how to make that signature head gear from scratch. All you need is a spare 17 months and a mastery of complex injection moulding techniques.
