Daft Punk scores Tron – Legacy

Can you imagine a score of epic proportion from an House band? Well, while watching the movie, there was a feeling as if you are in hands of a good DJ on a kamikaze arena. The pace of the movie was set by the music effectively from the beginning.

Daft Punk n Sydney (time-line - sometime before Tron release)

Any fan of Tron would not have any doubt in understanding the logic behind going by Daft Punk. The duo has long been staging elaborate live shows with visual elements as much as part of their music. Their emphasis on visual and story components associated with their musical productions, as well as for wearing ornate robot costumes while performing make them a perfect fit in the scheme of things. It is even more fitting that they play the DJ on the house when Kevin Flynn enters into the club, and sets the pace for the fight so superbly.

The overture is one classic example of old school Hollywood movie soundtrack mixed with elements of House. The grid voiced by Jeff Bridges also has enough punch in it to send through the images through the brain. The best thing about their music is the way they end things and switch between the tempos.

Adagio for Tron is a smooth music, filled with soft strings and hard interlaces. The fight scene where Sam is betrayed by Zuse is a medley of Daft Punk earlier hit Derezzed, Castor etc. The entire scene has

The best songs in the lot will be Son of Flynn and End of Line. Son of Flynn strikes as if you are in some 60's video game/sci-fi movie, but if you see the visual splendor associated with the music, it is awesome. End of Line is another very Housey music, but not much heavy drum beats, only nice synth music.

The entire soundtrack is worth buying if you are a hardcore House fan. Else it is better to download some few from iTunes :)

A few notes about Daft Punk

1. Their songs that were considered essential in the French house scene.
2. Won Grammy for Alive 2007 (Best Electronic/Dance Album)
3. Daft Punk is Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter.

Rest from Wiki:

Early in the group's career, the band members were strongly influenced by classic rock groups such as The Beach Boys and The Rolling Stones. Bangalter and de Homem-Christo were originally in an indie rock trio called Darlin', which disbanded after a short period of time, leaving the two to experiment musically on their own. The duo became Daft Punk, and released their critically acclaimed debut album Homework in 1997. The 2001 release Discovery was even more successful, driven by the club singles "One More Time", "Digital Love" and "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger". In March 2005, the duo released the album Human After All to mixed reviews. However, the singles "Robot Rock" and "Technologic" achieved success in the United Kingdom. Daft Punk toured throughout 2006 and 2007 and released the live album Alive 2007, which won a Grammy award for Best Electronic/Dance Album. The duo composed the score of the film Tron: Legacy and in 2010 released the soundtrack album of the film.
