Tron's Daft Punk Legacy

Have you already listened new soundtrack for Tron Legacy movie? If yes you know our electronic precious Daft Punk made a score. But what the score!

I was completely impressed and pushed back to my seat. Like Daft Punk meets Hans Zimmer. Duo Thomas Bangalter and Guy-Manuel De Homem-Christo bring us on a journey through the universe and you will fly around the stars with them. Sometimes they sound as Kraftwerk sometimes like Hans Zimmer (esp. Inception OST) and in next moment you can hear a fragment of Vangelis's Blade Runner (End Titles) in Rinzler (is it tribute?) But the music which they produced is very powerful and very sexy I have to say.

Bold analog sound. Rich strings arrangement. Tech-dreamscapes. Cinematic. Still in movement. Eargasmic. Perfect. And my-music-self has been sinked into it. I am simply exited.

Try it. Taste it. Listen it. It's worthwhile.

Alexi Murdoch - Away We Go (OST)

So I'm here right now and I want to tell you what I have promissed last time. Something about Sam Mendes's new movie and soundtrack - Away We Go.

Soundtrack author is London-born-Scottish-bred (nice info from last.fm :)) singer-songwriter Alexi Murdoch whom I didn't know before. There are also some support band in OST e.g. songs by such a giants as Velvet Underground, Bob Dylan and The Stranglers which is well known and of course their songs are perfect. I have to mention a scene in the movie where is playing Velvet Underground - Oh! Sweet Nothin' which is so hilarious.

Largely all songs are slow and perfectly fit and underline a mood of the movie. Alexi's playing acoustic mainly with a guitar and a band with just a few instruments. His voice is quite silent but very calm and pleasant but not so gently as my loving Sufjan Stevens. Alexi's voice is different but I love its too. Maybe you can hear some echoes of Nick Drake.

All my days, Song for you and Orange Sky are taking over from his the second record "Time Without Consequence" from 2006.

So certainly I have to highly recommend this record! And of'course don't miss the movie ;)
