Tron legacy - special edition cd - encom part i

Instead, 59 minutes is presented on the score's primary release to the American market including Bridges' introductory narration, a great inclusion. A simultaneous "Limited Edition" album licensed for sale outside of the United States and reportedly focused on Europe adds a second CD with twelve more minutes in five cues and a variety of enhanced-CD content.

The iTunes release includes two additional unique tracks at six minutes that were initially available only when you purchased the full album and the Amazon. Thus, if you want to hear all of this material, you'll have to buy at least the international set, the iTunes tracks, and the Amazon. If you want it all in lossless format, you're out of luck. No initial reports of one overarching compilation CD album have surfaced. Usually, the bonus tracks exclusive to the download option of an album aren't noteworthy, but that's not the case with Tron: Legacy.

The five cues on the "limited" international set aren't spectacular, but they also contain something for everyone. The second part overlays interesting synthetic textures to good effect. Both "Round One" and "Castor" contain dispensable, harder synthetic rhythms in pulsation mode, culminating in a continuation of the style in "Derezzed.

To force consumers and especially audiophiles to buy these three MP3's is a tremendous disservice to listeners and, despite Disney's likely reason for taking this route, it doesn't necessary translate to riches for the label. Ten to fifteen years ago, ploys like this worked, mostly because Internet sharing was in its infancy.

But in , especially with the kind of techno-savvy listeners attracted to both Daft Punk and modern film music, Disney is setting itself up for an illegal file-sharing bonanza. Considering the condition of the economy as well, listeners simply aren't going to calmly shuffle between these purchasing options and dutifully buy them all. Instead, they're going to wait for people to put up FLAC and MP3 compilations of all the sources and acquire them illegally instead.

Dividing out the content was a dumb move by Disney in this environment and with this audience, a decision so motivated by greed that it will likely compel fans to bootleg the soundtrack more than they naturally would. None of these questionable actions by Disney should be held against Daft Punk, however, for the score itself is a surprising success that transcends any expectations that it would be a fetish score suitable for groping in clubs rather than groping in darkened theatres.
