Daft Punk – Tron Soundtrack (Sampler) by Some Kind of Awesome

Following the cheap efforts by a few chancers posting fakes, it was inevitable that the realness would soon follow. For how long it will remain up, who knows? But now it’s out there I guess there’s no stopping the spread. Let’s see. Anyway, it sounds pretty good, but without the visuals it’s hard to pass any judgment. Whether the French duos efforts are at all a decent compliment to the much hyped Disney endeavor remains to be seen – until December.

Oh yeah, don’t forget the adidas tie-in. Adi did a Tron tribute Stan Smith a few years back, and Daft Punk were in the Adi Star Wars spot a few months back. Does that mean we’ll being seeing three stripes all over the screen? It’s already part of the outfit, as seen above.

Everyone who went to see Tim Burton’s self-indulgent Alice in Wonderland said the highlight was the trailer for Tron 2, or Tron Legacy as Disney are calling it. I have fond memories of the first film. I guess it was to me what Star Wars was to earlier generations.. It had a brilliant bleakness to it. The never-ending dark landscapes, ominous music and characters you cared about. Rare for Disney. The new one looks like it has potential but I don’t want to over hype and then be made to eat my own words. It deserved mentioning that Daft Punk are doing the soundtrack which I think is a good thing. There have been many a ‘leaked track!!!!!!’ on the net, but I think only one of them is legit. Roll on December!

Of all the ‘leaked tracks!!!!’, whether official or not, this one is my favourite.

Onto more musical matters but keeping with the futuristic theme. Peverelist is the latest artist to mix for Fact magazine. There is no tracklist, just music, including what sounds to me like unreleased tracks from the man himself.
