Fast forward to now, Tron Legacy is set to be released in 3D sometime (probably summer) 2010. Who’s behind the boards for the soundtrack? The relatively unknown French duo Daft Punk. Apparently they’ve already composed 24 tracks for the film, when the director was asked why he decided to have Daft Punk do the film score, he replied,

“How could you not at least go to those guys?”

I agree in full, and, let’s be honest when Daft Punk performs live they look like they just got spit out of the Tronverse. Unfortunately there’s going to be a fucking Journey song in it again, which I will forgive as long as Disney doesn’t fuck with Daft Punk like they did Wendy Carlos and forced an orchestra on her… classically trained musicians are so overrated. Anyway, here’s the Tron Legacy theme for download, apparently it’s done with Cryda Luv. I have no idea who Cryda Luv is but I’m guessing he/she named themselves after the amazing french record label, Crydamoure, owned by Daft Punker Guy-Manuel. Or maybe it’s just an artist Daft Punk made up.

If it wasn’t already evident by this cool looking polar bear I yanked from their site, the music is ON-point. Think of Cut Copy, but add some 80′s flavoring and a shitload of top quality synthesizer work. Seriously-awesome-synths. Preview their tracks and soon enough they even got Weezy sayin “motherfucker, it’s iiiiiillllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll.” These two are my favorites.

P.S. I just remembered having a dream (I neverrrrrrrrrr remember my dreams) where I was in some restaurant and the original sample to “The Light” was being played on the radio, and all of the sudden everybody was vibin to it hardcore as if they all knew “The Light” sampled this. Maybe I should talk to my therapist about this and not my blog.
