![]() Inserting Daft Punk and Walt Disney Records in the same sentence could provide the first hint in the duo’s departure from its signature sound. But as the music reflects, this is not Carlos’ ENCOM cyber universe as it was in 1982: it has become smarter, more adaptive, and far more advanced than ever imagined.īut long-time Daft Punk fans might be disappointed if unaware what to expect. Poppy synths are replaced with violins while brass sections and organs provide much of the album’s weight. The result is a glitched-out symphonic experience with a baroque underpinning, an envisioned futurism that transmits the conventions of classical music through musical mechanisms old and new. The correlation between Daft Punk and Carlos lies within the healthy mixture of the analogue and the digital synthesizers, interspersed with orchestral and organic instrumental parts. Among Carlos’ groundbreaking work with the Moog and electronic music systems, she is best noted for writing and recording the score for Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange. Daft Punk has aligned itself more with the style of Wendy Carlos (this is a sequel, after all), the composer and scorer of the original 1982 Tron film. Though Vangelis’ Blade Runner soundtrack serves as the touchstone comparison when talking about cyber-noir electronica, Tron: Legacy veers clear from the deathly brooding synthesizers for a more technologically inclined octave layering. In a perfect marriage of aesthetics that only the Master Control Program could have arranged, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter have left their grand discothèque anthems and enlisted an 85-piece orchestra to build an ambitious sonic accompaniment to Tron: Legacy’s parallel digital universe. As the Tron: Legacy soundtrack is Daft Punk’s first release of new material since 2005 album Human After All, there seems to be no other logical way that the French DJ duo could have staged its return. Tron fans have been waiting close to thirty years.
