Album Description
Available in: Country Icon Country Icon Country Icon
Tron: Legacy est un album du groupe Daft Punk sorti le 6 décembre 2010, composant la bande originale du film Tron : L'Héritage. L'album a été enregistré avec l'Orchestre philharmonique de Londres.

L'album reçut un accueil globalement positif de la part de critiques. Le magazine français L'Express évoque « une œuvre symphonique sombre et inquiétante » et annonce que « Daft Punk fait à nouveau sa révolution : il se met au classique! ». Le site Allmusic parle quant à lui d'un « bijou de composition, le travail de deux robots talentueux et géniaux ». Didier Varrod, dans sa chronique Encore un matin sur France Inter, souligne une progression dans l'album des deux hommes au casque dans la B.O. qui commence en étant « mégalo-maniaque et un brin pompeuse [...] pour se terminer par un nouveau disque de Daft Punk ». Au final, selon lui, le groupe a produit une œuvre « hédoniste ». Marion Bernard pour France Info rapproche l'album à un « opéra électronique qui varie les plaisirs », reconnaissant qu'il n'est pas « taillé pour danser »: seuls quelques titres semblent pouvoir s'exporter sur les "dancefloor" dont le premier single extrait Derezzed ou encore End Of Line"1.

L'album a connu un succès rapide aux États-Unis où il s'est rapidement placé en 10e position du Billboard 200 devant My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy (de Kanye West) et The Beginning (des Black Eyed Peas).

User Album Review
The futuristic and mysterious dance masters Daft Punk appear to be the perfect group to compose the soundtrack to Tron: Legacy. The original film is fondly remembered by many despite its failure at the box office. Its musical score was composed by legendary composer Wendy Carlos, responsible for synthesizer classics such as Switched-On Bach and the soundtracks to A Clockwork Orange and The Shining. With Tron: Legacy Daft Punk have updated Carlos' original musical vision by delivering a sophisticated integration of acoustic and electronic instrumentation.

The opening Overture is a majestic orchestral affair that builds to a finale of crashing cymbals and thunderous timpani before fading gradually into silence. The Grid features Jeff Bridges setting the narrative scene in characteristically rich, solemn tones. The music pleasingly matches that quality with saturnine orchestration and a muscular rhythm.

For the first 11 tracks Tron: Legacy is every inch the film soundtrack, musical episodes painting dark and sombre soundscapes. Then the stately-paced End of Line delivers a catchy synth-riff that repeatedly punches like a silicon fist in a latex glove. Derezzed ups the ante in rousing fashion before Solar Sailer glides gracefully in on sighing strings and gently arpeggiating synths. These tracks form the apex of the album, and the music that follows restates and consolidates themes.

The sonic might of the 100-member symphony orchestra assembled by Daft Punk is wielded to powerful effect. The penultimate track Tron Legacy (End Titles) thrillingly expounds the main theme with a tidal wave of a string section accompanied by tweaked synths. Finale recalls the majesty of Philip Glass' main theme for the film Koyaanisqatsi. It's a shame that the film's audience will most likely miss this music, having left the theatre during the credits, as it's a lovely final composition. Although not musically revolutionary, Tron: Legacy suggests the adrenaline rush of a black panther roaming nearby in the darkness, heard but not yet seen.
