(“ Derezzed” seems to be the only truly upbeat, cheerful tune on the whole CD.) This isn’t Discovery Part II, or similar to any Daft Punk album you’ve ever heard, but it’s a gorgeous mix of classical and electronic. Pretty much all of the soundtrack is as dramatic and somber as these two tracks. It’s another threatening-sounding tune, and has some Inception-esque brass horn wails: Kosinski says this track shows up in the film when “3-D really kicks in”. This next track, “Recognizer”, was also previewed at the listening party. He calls the sweet and sorrowful tune “out of the box” for Daft Punk: Kosinski previewed this track, “Adagio For Tron”, which takes place during a flashback sequence in the film. We know you Punkheads are more interested in the music than anything else - so here it is. Kosinksi called DP in a flush, and Bangalter said, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Basically, Daft Punk fans are so desperate to hear new Daft Punk music, they’ll do whatever they can do get their hands on it. One particularly funny anecdote the director shared was the horror he had upon recieving an email from the band saying that they lost all the tracks on their hard drive, and they needed all the demos they had sent to him thus far to be shipped to some random address in France. Thanks to Daft Punk’s music, the folks at Skywalker called Tron: Legacy “the loudest film they’ve ever mixed.”Ĭreating the soundtrack was a back and forth process that took over two years - Bangalter and de Homem-Christo would send over demos from their England studio to Kosinski in California. DP recorded the album across the pond at AIR Lyndhurst Studios in England, but the final mix was at Skywalker Ranch (which Kosinski calls “the most gorgeous slave labor camp”) in Northern California.
