5 Tracks from the Tron Legacy Soundtrack


We already talked about these Daft Punk-related news a couple of months ago here and here (remember the Cryda Luv remix ?).
A new trailer has coming up for Tron Legacy as the comic-con madness is actually going on.You can watch it here :



But, most important, you can listen to bits of the new Daft Punk soundtrack on the official website.5 tracks are available right now but it's not a very user-friendly interface (no really, it's not) so you can listen to it on youtube :



or you can download them in mp3 here :

As it sounds yet really great, i think they might be some loop hiding the full potential of these songs without a single beat.We'll see in the next future if climax peak will be reached as the soundtrack reveal itself to go darker and dafter.

Selections (aka Summer Mix)

We're halfway through 2010, and I've been "collecting"number of this year albums and singles.I selected some of the best to present you in a short mix.I have a thing for obsessive hypnotic melodies you could say, those ones that you could compare to hypnagogic hallucinations.There is no "Gazebo" though this year and it's a shame i couldn't put it in the playlist one more time :)

Did you know that ?

Did you know The XX were playing the awesome-über-allmighty-crystal clear melody from Bronski Beat's Smalltown Boy as a introduction (that works very well) of Infinity ?

Well, here's a few examples, and if you already seen them live it's worth listening to it again as you can't get sick of this :







And here's the original so-so-80's video :



The pattern of this track has been reused in many songs with random success.An unoriginal & lazy techno cover by Supermode still sounds good just by copying and pasting the melody into a 4/4 cheapy club rhythmic :



A cover by Paradise Lost that greatly synthesize with their own sound the core of the original track :



You can hear it at the beginning of this 1993 mega-dance-lol track from Real McCoy :



Well i did listen to the next one million times, and i never saw the obvious melody in a pitch-down robovocoder style (starts a 1'34).Amazing Daft Punk Stuff :



Really there is a ton of it.You can read more about it in the wikipedia link here.
So, which one do you prefer ?
