Michael Kamen and Orbital's work on the Event Horizon soundtrack is as scary and evil as the movie itself. The score for Dune by Toto is full of trippy bits of dialogue, strings, choirs and even goes a bit prog rock at times. Of course, Ennio Morricone is another master of the artform, I bet nobody can walk through a set of saloon door without humming the theme from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. The man is a genius, whenever something evil is happening I hear the Imperial March and whenever a fallen hero finds his courage, Indy's fanfare echoes through my mind. Other Honourable Mentions Any list like this would be incomplete without mentioning John Williams ' work on so many of our favorite films, including Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Superman, Jaws and Close Encounters to name a tiny fraction of his amazing body of work. He's also got the job on Duncan Jones' next film, Source Code, so that's on my must see list already, as well as the critically acclaimed Black Swan. I enjoyed this soundtrack so much, that I instantly added all the other films Mansell has scored ( The Fountain, Requiem for a Dream, Smokin' Aces etc.) to my DVD rental list to see if they're as good.
As the soundtrack progresses it gets more fragmented, much like the mind of Sam Bell, before mellowing out and reaching for that crescendo at the finale. The soundtrack was composed by Clint Mansell (formally the singer with UK 90s greebo indie band Pop Will Eat Itself - who were one of my faves as a teenager) apparently in complete isolation, perfectly echoing the feelings of loneliness that Sam Rockwell's character experiences in the first part of the movie. The first disc is a remastered version of the original release, the second disc contains lots of additional music and cues from the film, and the third features new material from Vangelis, 'inspired' by the movie, which features samples and interviews woven into the music.ĭuncan Jones' underground hit from 2009 features a haunting central piano riff, backed up with some even more haunting strings, that are repeated in various versions throughout the film. To accompany the 25th Anniversary 'Final Cut' of the movie there was also 3 disc special edition soundtrack. This release however wasn't enough for many fans and there have been many bootlegs over the years, the " Off-World", " Gongo" and " Esper" editions - all featuring a mix of extra dialogue, sound effects and background ambiance, the 'blimp' ladies, a lot of it taken from different cuts of the film or pulled from the surround sound mixes of the DVD releases. The tracks are full length versions of the cues used in the film, with snippets of dialogue added in, and you can't hear the soaring ominous synths without imagining flying over 2019 Los Angeles, explosions erupting below you. The first version released was just orchestral interpretations of the movie score, it took 12 years for Vangelis' proper version to be officially available. We’re also pretty sure a certain judgemental AI won’t roast you for listening to the album.Vangelis' score to Ridley Scott's 1982 sci-fi classic has had almost as turbulent a history as the movie itself.
Typically, remix albums aren’t worth anyone’s time, but with appearances from heavyweights like Moby, Com Truise, Kaskade and Avicii, this one slays. Once you finish listening to the Complete Edition, it’s also well worth checking out Tron: Legacy Reconfigured. The French duo hadn’t released a new studio album since 2005’s Human After All and it would be another three years after Tron: Legacy before they came out with Random Access Memories in 2013. However, this is the first time you can listen to them all in one place.īesides being a standout album on its own, the Tron: Legacy soundtrack came at a time when Daft Punk fans were hungry to hear something new from the group. It features the original score in its entirety and nine additional songs.Īs Polygon points out, those tracks aren’t new songs per se they’ve been available previously scattered about in vinyl editions and the like. Disney and Daft Punk have uploaded an extended edition of the score called Tron: Legacy - The Complete Edition to Spotify and Apple Music. And now you can listen to it in a fresh new way. Say what you will be about the film (which you can rewatch on Disney Plus), there’s no denying Daft Punk’s accompanying score was killer. Earlier this month, it was the 10th anniversary of Tron: Legacy.
