Right, cast your minds back many months, all the way back to April. I wrote a review of the film Tron: Legacy and the original Tron film, and in that review I told you all the soundtrack was great and that there was to be a new CD of remixes from the soundtrack out soon (you can read it here).
When I watched the film at the cinema, the soundtrack was every bit as amazing as the special effects. The soundtrack and film went together so well that it would be fair to say that without the soundtrack the film might not have been quite as epic, and equally without the film (and enormous speakers providing the surround sound) the music isn't quite as epic. But it is close.
To get a taster of the soundtrack try this video. It is a trailer but it features one of my favourite tracks Derezzed, and hopefully it'll make you all want to watch the film (which I understand is the purpose of a trailer)! And yes that is Michael Sheen AND it is Daft Punk, just in case you were wondering...
R3C0NF1GURED is a CD of remixes of the Daft Punk original soundtrack by a whole range of other artists. I really love how this CD has developed each track into a full, stand-alone song. One of the only negatives of the original album was that it IS a soundtrack and this is fairly obvious when you listen to the CD. This is one of my favourite tracks off of the R3C0NF1GURED CD, but a word of warning - make sure your speakers are prepared for bass. For example, in my car this causes extreme embarrassment due my speakers inability to deliver the low notes. What actually happens is there is a low rattle and vibration... and I look like a chav.
