Fall (M83 Vs Big Black Delta Remix) by Daft Punk
Like me, you probably never thought of the concept of a remixed OST/Score. With the Tron Legacy Score by Daft Punk, this concept became a remarkable reality. With only a second glance the idea becomes obvious genius.
Daft Punk created a theatrical sound masterpiece like never accomplished before. Not only did it create a sense of awe and excitement with thrilling orchestral elements to rival Hans Zimmer's score for The Dark Knight, but it was true to Daft Punk's nature, bearing their unmistakable electronic signature at every turn. The pairing of a film exploring the "digital frontier" with Daft Punk at the wheel for musical effect was a marriage of perfect elements.
But beyond all this, maybe the most impressive asset of the score, it was malleable. With a shot to make OST history, a smorgasbord of electronic artists including M83, The Glitch Mob and Moby joined the ranks to take the score to another level with the remix OST, Tron Legacy: Reconfigured.
The new approach made for a more accessible sound, trimming the unnecessary theatrical "fillers" and amplifying the effect of the scores more impressive elements. Born from this was an exhilarating electronic album with a dramatic edge to leave listeners wondering which was a more intense ride, the movie or the soundtrack.
