Hats off to Diss-ney and their money man for creating so many illegal downloaders, which is what this whole charade has done.

Don't blame Disney, blame bad parenting.

Hell, I have an account at Amazon, plus I downloaded iTunes just to get the extra tracks. The fact that American Nokia users can't get the Sunrise Prelude track is a travesty.

I still contend that there's going to be an official, complete release within the next year ESPECIALLY with its chart success.

The early weekday returns are promising, but I don't know. When you sink anywhere from (officially) $170m to (reportedly) $300m with a two-year marketing blitz, you're gonna need a sizable ROI to justify a sequel. Let's see where they are in about 8 days.

I know we haven't seen the last of Tron (two animated shows are in the works), but a third film with another DP score? Sure! (This post brought to you by a fanboy. Apologies.)

Unofficial titles, but yes. The only ones not on the soundtrack were Flynn Remembers and Alan Bradley's Message. Oh, and the Trailer Opening.

Good of you folks to diligently research this.

However... discounting the remixes, 31 TRACKS?!?!?!????? What the Hell? My "TRON Legacy" album has only 22 tracks!

Sentiment #1: Fuck the multimedia bs... give me the whole score.
Sentiment #2: It is with a focussed deliberacy that I would ask if anybody can PIRATE me the awol tracks... kind of serious... it *is* lame that all this music is getting spread around as if to foster some sort of silly 'special' scavenger game.
Sentiment #3: Release the soundtrack properly the first time, please. This is the day and age wherein such is possible (!).
Sentiment #4: Waah.

Love the score, hate the marketting angle.




All of my sentiments, exactly.

Seriously. I have never felt so tempted to go back to piracy than I do right now. I'll happily purchase the single-disc/2CD releases of this score... but I'm not about to shell out my hard-earned money for bonus tracks (which really shouldn't even *be* bonus content, as they're original score pieces!) that are scattered around all over elsewhere, that are of inferior quality, and that are not even being made available in lossless in the first place.

I realize that Disney is all about profits and revenue (what corporation isn't?!), but geez... did they REALLY have to milk the cash cow with such absurd marketing decisions like these? Do they really not value customer relations at all? What WERE they thinking?

I know that this is a piss-poor way of looking at the situation, but this is how I feel. Shame on Disney for taking this route. I can only hope these errors will be rectified with a COMPLETE score release on CD at some point in the near future.

What the other guy said a minute ago.

Cheers!

Yes, as I recall, "City Reveal" is actually "Armory" and the like; am I correct in assuming that "Alan Bradley's Message" would go between "Encom, Part II" and "Recognizer" if one were to include it; what about "Flynn Remembers?"

I realize the whole bonus track thing is a bit on the shady side of things and a way to make money, but if one thinks about it, and if one does indeed download those tracks through other means, its still piracy. Even if one uses the logic that one has already paid for the single disc and the tracks should have been on there. You could then apply that same logic to MOST of LLL's, Intrada and everyone elses releases since they mostly release expanded or complete albums of past releases. One could then arrive at the conclusion that its ok to "download" those others too because you have already paid for the album originally and the whole score "should have been on there to begin with". Really its no different. Just sayin.

LLL, Intrada, and FSM are *trying* to provide/execute complete score releases... Disney here is not.

Disney made deliberate choices with this product to withhold material, parse it out, connive and convince you to venture into a media web of cash mining and/or time-wasting, if I may unfairly characterize it that way (!).

I don`t believe intents and means are the same.

(If for example LLL had released TRON Legacy, I strongly suspect we would have the complete score.)

Hey - again, I`m even grateful that someone at Disney had the drive to bring another TRON to life, but I wish the score album had been handled more smartly.

This is the kind of crazy fiasco we can expect from companies when all we have left to choose from is downloads. Respecting and improving the customer base dose not appear to be of high priority in the immediate future.
As its Christmas Eve thats all the Bah Humbug from me today. ;-)

I agree all the assorted exclusive tracks are kind of a pain...but what I haven't seen anyone say yet is this... At least we have a real honest to God CD and not just a DOWNLOAD ONLY like Toy Story 3.

Quite true...

Looks like an Academy promo has popped up on Ebay. Wonder if there's any bonus tracks on that... their track for Tron: Evolution is on there.

Wow. I am fairly conservative in my taste for film music (Williams, Goldsmith, Bernstein and North are my heroes) and was really taken by surprise by Daft Punk. My expectations for the film and the score were not high, but I enjoyed both immensely. Guess it pays to keep an open mind.

Ok...quick question to anyone NOT in the US.

The US version comes in a digipak, but I have seen the CD on ebay in a jewel case, and all of the sellers are from Europe or Asia. Does anyone know if you order it from Amazon UK...will it be the one in jewel case? I really despise digipaks...

In Canada, I pre-ordered a copy through the Canadian official TRON site. I believe the seller/distributor who ultimately got it out to me was a group called "Maple". Their CD was a jewel case.

Or was the copy from Amazon.ca a jewel case? (Curses memory.) The other was a cardboard booklet kind of thing (The Touch). Sorry I can`t recall which was which. I am *certain* though the jewel case was indeed Maple.

Pretty certain.

On the score as a whole, if the folks at Disney moved heaven & earth to do this disc, I am grateful. Just give us a deluxe edition, or let Intrada, LLL, or FSM do one.

(remember, I did characterize my characterizations as potentially unfair...)

Assuming they do another movie, my question is: how different will they sound in their next film?

If the Music Branch recognizes an ambient score this season, I'd love to see Daft Punk get the nod. The score sounded a bit like percussive wallpaper in the film, but I'm really digging it on its own. And I love the main TRON theme.

I know I'm dreaming here, but I'd never have guessed that "Michael Clayton" or "The Hurt Locker" would be recognized, so perhaps there's hope.

cool

Hey, the Denver film critics association gave Best Score to Tron Legacy!

I'm just tickled, someone finally gave it some recognition. Take that Social Network! smile
