Wow- thanks for sharing, emomitter.

Did they even ask DEVO?

For some reason I'm not totally dreading this movie.

Wintermute6: For some reason I'm not totally dreading this movie.

Daft Punk is awesome. Tron is awesome. The only way it will suck is if there is too much awesome. All that concentrated awesome could fold into a black hole of suck.

Ditto.

Fark you, subby.

Smitty: Do you remember the Tron soundtrack? Really?

Daft Punk will do just fine with it.

this about covers it.

Exactly what Daft Punk song was played at your prom in the 90s? And, by the way, it was popular the world over, that's how it made it to your prom.

Go listen to Vampire Weekend, subby.

By the way, the first person to say "Didn't Daft Punk sample that Kanye West song?" gets a free punch in the face, and isn't allowed to ever listen to music again.

Will Tron 2 be harder, better, faster, or stronger than the original?

i've just seen the footage they played at last year's san deigo comic con.

it looks promising. especially since Jeff Bridges is going to be there.

Daft Punk is 90's prom music? WTF?

Answer and correction all in one.

Mediocre choice. I would've gone for Tangerine Dream, Thomas Dolby, Jean-Michel Jarre, Biosphere, Squarepusher or Autechre. Or all of the above.

Also: didn't Daft Punk sample that Kanye West song?

Daft Punk Rocks.

I didn't realize Daft Punk did Friends Forever.

As long as Daft Punk doesn't allow Kanye West to cover another one of their songs.

Wow, a lot of people feeding the subtroll.

I wanted it scored by the computer from 'Electric Dreams'

That's better.

Daft Punk? It will be interesting to see what they do with it, but I have to say they would not be my first choice.

Scoring a movie might be a little out of their league. I don't want to hear a vocoder sample repeating "Riding on my light cycle, riding on my light cycle" 50 billion times over someone else's funk record run through a filter.

scseth: Nothing against Daft Punk... but LCD soundsystem doing the soundtrack would have been awesome

I love LCD Soundsystem, but I'm not sure I agree with this statement.

Winktologist: Didn't Daft Punk sample that Kanye West song?

Yes they did

scseth: Nothing against Daft Punk... but LCD soundsystem doing the soundtrack would have been awesome

No. No, it would not have been awesome.

Now will daft punk just take some one else's music, speed it up and call it a score? or will they actually produce an original score? as in, compose their own music?

A Tron sequel sounds as appetizing as Daft Punk, someone had an idea long ago and acted on it creatively. We got nothing now so let's just recycle it and call it ours.

Thomas Bangalter has scored for movies before, so this isn't a stretch for him and Guy-Manuel. They make good, scenic music.

Not sure how this will work out but I liked the comic con trailer and the Discovery album was pretty good. Probably would prefer a proper score though.

Needs more Kraftwerk.

This.

You know, I'll go out on a limb here, but I would have gone with Magnus Birgersson (Solar Fields). For one thing, he's scored before (Mirror's Edge.) Next up, all his stuff is original. Third, he's got a lot of records under his belt. Fourth, and finally, he's probably made some of the most emotional and deeply moving electronic music I've ever heard.

Of course, he's probably not "Hollywood" enough.

Winktologist: Exactly what Daft Punk song was played at your prom in the 90s?

To be fair, Something About Us is a lovely ballad that could be seen as an invitation to slowdance at a prom. Too bad it was on Discovery, which was released in 2001, but don't be too quick to decry the notion that Daft Punk don't make prom music.

Besides, I think subby meant to say "90s porn music". That would have been more apt.

fenrael23: Needs more Kraftwerk.

/i'm the operator
//with my pocket calculator

Getting Kraftwerk to actually release an album takes an act of God, Allah, Buddha, and Flying Spaghetti Monster all working together.

It would be cool though.

In other news, subby probably thought the Matrix trilogy was fan-farking-tastic.

I understand people not liking club music/dance music but Daft Punk is pretty damn good.

I don't like country music, but I can still appreciate a good artist.

/subby needs to be less lame

They will also be playing at my house.

My house.

Lollipop165: I understand people not liking club music/dance music but Daft Punk is pretty damn good.

Actually, they are not that good if you are into club music/dance music.

Glitchwerks

Actually, IMHO, they are. Not saying they are the best, but they certainly have a distinctive sound and their beats are fun.

/or are you one of those "OHMIGAWD THEY BECAME POPULAR" so I don't listen to them snobs?

Does not approve

Geddy Lee is never obscure on Fark.

Tron 3 directed by Kanye West

OrganLeroy: Does not approve

/too obscure?

I'd give her the ol' sawtooth. And then a square wave.

Honestly, does anyone actually remember the first Tron? It was godawful. Poorly acted, poorly scripted, poorly directed, but with killer special effects.

In short: a giant pile of awesome.

God, the only thing that could go wrong here is if they actually made a good movie. I have no fear of this.
