Before the film’s release, it was a mystery whether or not Daft Punk would attempt a typical orchestral score or stick to the comfort of their electronic and dance wheelhouse, but “Overture” and “The Grid” demonstrated exactly what makes this film score so unique: they were going to do both. The contrast between these tracks’ instrumentation within their identical compositions helped create contrasting themes as well the orchestral evokes an epic adventure while the electronic conveys the scale and aesthetic of the world “TRON: Legacy” built. “The Grid” follows with a short expositional verse from Jeff Bridges’s character, Kevin Flynn, before exploding into the main theme’s melody, this time with an expansive, heavily synthesized piano over distant and echoing percussion. The soaring strings and commanding brass create the now classic and infectious main theme of the “TRON: Legacy” soundtrack with immense energy. However, the duo was also coming off their least impressive studio effort (the acquired-taste jams of Human After All) and had no prior experience in film scoring, so the doubt surrounding whether they could pull it off was understandable.īut the powerful and domineering album opener “Overture” erased those doubts. Their fame stemmed from the massive successes of their albums Homework and Discovery, and taking the helm of a sci-fi movie’s score seemed to be a perfect fit. The group was undoubtedly one of the most iconic electronic music acts of the 2000s. When it was announced that Daft Punk members Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo were scoring “TRON: Legacy,” the public’s response seemed to be equal parts excitement and healthy skepticism. But perhaps the biggest reason why “TRON: Legacy” endures today has little to do with anything on screen: the credit for that lies with its now classic film score, composed by French electronic legends Daft Punk.

Even the film’s most ardent fans would concede that its character building and plot leave quite a bit on the table. It sits at a meager 50% Tomatometer score, with many critics dismissing it as little more than sci-fi IMAX eye candy. How a digital creation can translate into an analogue body.As a movie, “TRON: Legacy” is, well … fine. Instead this album is about how music can make you feel. Ranging from fast paced and aggressive to slower and more contemplative this is not about genre, nor is it about style.

The album is comprised of 24 tracks, with each track name giving a slight/blatant hint at what part of the story each is meant to represent. Taking inspiration from the elements and instruments that were used in the original score but with a few modern techniques, styles, effects and my own spin on implementation. In my head this is what I would have done with the soundtrack to the second film in the Tron series. This album acts as a direct continuation to my album ‘The Grid’ from 2016, however it also acts as a spiritual replacement soundtrack to Tron Legacy.

It seems we will need every scrap of help to traverse this cyber universe, find the creator of The Grid and escape alive. With corrupted creations and unique beings born inside this digital world it is hard to decipher friend from foe. This cyber frontier is filled with unknown dangers that must be fought to survive.
