In fact that would be my biggest criticism of the the soundtrack - not enough of the tracks break the three minute mark. The single 'Derezzed' is pure Daft Punk, fast, energetic and very electronic, it such a shame that it only lasts 1 minute and 44 seconds. ' End Of Line' brings back the synths into and some fantastic little 8-bit bleepy samples.

The next three tracks bring the pace down a bit and increase the amount of strings, and are much more like a traditional movie score because of it. Apparently, while Daft Punk were filming their cameo appearance one of the cameras broke down, so while it was being fixed the cast and crew were treated to a warehouse DJ set, with everyone in full costume. This meant that the moviemakers were able to play the actual score on set during the filming. Legacy director Joe Kosinski met with Thomas Bangalter & Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo early on and they started writing the music as the script was being finalised and the storyboarding and pre-visualization on the movie was beginning. The Tron soundtrack is their first new music since 2005's Human After All (not counting remixes and live stuff) and part of the reason for this long hiatus is because they've been working on the soundtrack almost as long as the film has been in production - even before the script was finished. I was hooked the first time I heard that dirty, detuned TB303 riff bubbling up. It was directed by Spike Jonze and the song drifts in and out of the background as the dog has conversations with people on the street, very much like a soundtrack. It featured a guy in a dog suit, with a broken leg, carrying a beatbox and walking around the streets of New York. I've been a fan of the French duo since I first saw the video for their breakthrough hit ' Da Funk' back in 1994.


When I found out that Daft Punk were going to score it, I think it's safe to say I was even more excited. When I first heard that there was going to be a sequel to Tron I was very excited.
