| These clips are some of the most disappointing I've heard from the few leaks there have been of Daft Punk's soundtrack for Tron Legacy. Every clip is really just a string arpeggio with a synth bass, that's it. I think in the end, all of the tracks that are are being circulated that are either not Daft Punk (The Crash) or unrelated to Tron Legacy, will be better than the actual OST. It really is rather unfortunate. |

| Well, what did you expect? Daft Punk are quite obviously not suited to writing score music, and they aren't very good at writing music either. They're very good samplers and very good producers, which are good skills for making great house music, but not remotely appropriate to scoring a film. |

| Lackluster, but not exactly unexpected. If getting Daft Punk on board for the score is the kind of artistic decision-making we can expect from the people behind the film, this looks to be a big old flop. |

| I vote Solar Fields for this task. |

| Solar Fields would be much better at writing score music, but his material would sound utterly out of place in Tron. Daft Punk were chosen because they combine robots with future-retro, which is the right aesthetic. |

| I didn't pick him because I think his current sound would fit the movie. I picked him because I know he could make it sound exactly like it needs to. |

| Is there any evidence of this versatility? |

| Isn't it a little early to say they're bad at scoring films when the movie hasn't come out yet? I'd think that it would be important to actually see whats on the screen before judging how the music complements it. |

If the music sucks, why would it matter what's on the screen? It's not as if music is somehow made better by a good movie. |

Score music is generally not written to be good standalone music. It's supposed to be background music for whats actually taking place on screen. Regardless of what you think about quality of the little snippets posted on this blog (which are hardly long enough to be fair samples and could come from any part of this 2-hour long movie...), it's still too early to judge their ability at SCORING a film as System-J was doing earlier. |
