Tron: Legacy director Joseph Kosinski and music supervisor Jason Bentley approached Daft Punk and requested that the duo compose the film score.[4][5] When asked why he wished to work with the duo, Kosinski replied, "How could you not at least go to those guys?"[5] The producers initially attempted to reach Daft Punk in 2007, but the duo had been unavailable due to their Alive 2006/2007 tour.[6] Thomas Bangalter of Daft Punk had previously produced the soundtrack to Gaspar Noé's 2002 film Irréversible. Noé had asked Bangalter to compose the soundtrack to the film Enter the Void, but Bangalter was working on Tron: Legacy at the time and instead served as sound effects director.[7]
The score of Tron: Legacy features an 85-piece orchestra, recorded at AIR Lyndhurst Studios in London.[8] Kosinski stated that the score is intended to be a mixture of orchestral and electronic music. Daft Punk's score was arranged and orchestrated by Joseph Trapanese,[9] who stated he is a fan of Daft Punk as a duo and as solo artists. The band collaborated with him for two years on the score, from pre-production to completion. The orchestra was conducted by Gavin Greenaway. Trapanese cited the collaboration between the different genres to work out well in the end, stating:
In an interview regarding the Tron: Legacy score, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo noted that "Synths are a very low level of artificial intelligence, whereas you have a Stradivarius that will live for a thousand years. We knew from the start that there was no way we were going to do this film score with two synthesizers and a drum machine."[6] Daft Punk cited Wendy Carlos, the composer of the original Tron film, as well as Max Steiner, Bernard Herrmann, John Carpenter, Vangelis, Philip Glass, and Maurice Jarre as inspirations for the soundtrack.[11][12] De Homem-Christo also stated that Tron was a strong influence on him as a child. "Maybe I only saw it two or three times in my entire life, but the feel of it is strong even now, that I think the imprint of the first [film] will not be erased by the new one. It has a real visionary quality to it."[12] Bangalter recalled that he had composed heroic themes for the protagonists, while de Homem-Christo had written the darker musical cues.[13] De Homem-Christo concluded that Tron: Legacy "was cut to the music. Usually, composers come in at the end when everything is done."[14]
A deluxe edition of the album was made available from the official Tron: Legacy soundtrack website that includes a poster of Daft Punk as they appear in the film.[19] In regions outside the United States, a two-disc special edition featuring the bonus tracks "ENCOM Part I", "ENCOM Part II", "Round One", "Castor", and "Reflections" was made available for a limited time.[20] As a pre-order bonus for the album on the iTunes Store, "Derezzed" was released as a single on December 8, 2010. The iTunes Store release of the album includes two bonus tracks: "Father and Son" and "Outlands, Pt. II".[21] The Amazon MP3 Download version of the album includes the bonus track "Sea of Simulation".[22] The Nokia Ovi Music Store release of the album includes the bonus track "Sunrise Prelude".[23] The Complete Edition includes all bonus tracks in addition to the standard edition tracks. The songs "Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)" by Journey and "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" by Eurythmics are featured in the film, but absent from the soundtrack album.
Pitchfork Media expressed that the Tron: Legacy soundtrack is the continuation of Daft Punk's growing interest in complementing music with visual imagery, noting the duo's previous Alive 2006/2007 tour and feature film Interstella 5555 as examples.[32] A review in Spin also pointed out Daft Punk's history with filmmakers in the duo's earliest music videos and "That Daft Punk's Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter would score Tron: Legacy seems destined."[35]
Christian Clemmensen of Filmtracks.com spoke highly of the score, awarding the music 4 out of 5 stars calling it "a success of a score", but panned its treatment on the various commercial releases stating, "There have been many disgraceful releases of soundtracks over the previous ten years, but the situation with Tron: Legacy not only establishes a new low in terms of the division of the score onto differing products, but also makes no sense for the market in 2010. In order for a fan of this score to acquire all of the commercially available music for Tron: Legacy (amounting to almost 80 minutes), he or she will be forced, at least initially, to purchase three of four separate products. Forget the fact that 79 minutes of this score would have fit nicely onto one CD."[36]
The soundtrack debuted at number 10 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with sales of 71,000 copies.[37] This marked the duo's first top 10 album/soundtrack in the United States.[38] In its second week, the soundtrack dropped to number 33 on the Billboard 200. It managed to sell an additional 67,000 copies in its third week of release, coming in at number 27 on the Billboard 200.[39] In its fourth week, the soundtrack rose to a new peak position of number 6 on the Billboard 200 selling an additional 54,000 copies.[39] In its fifth week, the album reached a new peak of number 4 by selling 34,000 copies.[40] As of November 17, 2011, Tron: Legacy was awarded with a gold certification for 500,000 units sold.[41] On January 10, 2023 it was certified platinum with over 1 million units sold.[42]
Tron: Legacy received an award for "Best Original Score" from the Austin Film Critics Association,[43] and was nominated for Score of the Year and Breakout Composer of the Year, and won Best Original Score for a Fantasy/Science Fiction/Horror Film by the International Film Music Critics Association.[44] The soundtrack album was nominated for Best Score Soundtrack Album for Visual Media at the 54th Grammy Awards.[45]
So as I assume many of you have the soundtrack to Legacy. I'm sure you've also noticed that tracks are in semi chronological order, but then there are some tracks that come after song 21: TRON Legacy (end titles) I'm curious if anyone has taken the time to find where these other 10 tracks fall into the over all soundtrack of the movie, chronologically.
I absolutely love the tron legacy soundtrack. the combination of orchestral and techno is awesome. does anyone know any other songs or albums ( by daft punk or other people ) that are similar to this.
EDIT:Thanks for all the good suggestions. will take me a bit to listen to it all.
Through more googling I was able to find a possible link to it (" -legacy-metrotokyo-edition-v2-0-complete-90961/"), but the link doesn't work because the ffshrine forums went down last year. Any ffshrine archive I can find is gone as well.
The album is categorized as soundtrack. The Band is officially French-House style. The album is a mixture of orchestral sound with electro elements (hybrid). There are also electro beats in there. It reminds me of "Stranger Things", "Thor: Ragnarok" and so on. I created something similar (Hip-Hop based) and want to publish it on Spotify. Therefore, I need to know: does there exist a special genre name for this style? I googled a lot but without success.
It's not until the score's second half that the duo's more typical sound emerges on "Derezzed"'s filter-disco and on "End of the Line," where witty 8-bit sounds evoke '80s video games.
When listening to the soundtrack here, the electro-orchestral elements seem to stand out for me, with influences of the House style (as best as I understand it, I haven't heard a lot of music from this genre).
At this point they have long abandoned French House and are working more with Electro House. There are typical orchestral elements in the album, as it is common with soundtracks. The more slow and ambient-y that aren't orchestral, are definitely Progressive Electronic in the likes of Vangelis, Klaus Schulze etc.
At UKC/UKH we are all experienced internet users and as such we understand why some people want to use Ad Block to remove annoying and distracting advertising that proliferates on some web sites. We don't feel that UKC/UKH should be considered as such a site.
