DAFT PUNK

Thanks!



Haha, yeah, I had to stop myself from selecting too much 'excellent tracks'
I think it's a very helpful way for those unfamiliar with a score, to hear those tracks first, and then decide if they're going to get the full thing.

I don't think anyone ever claimed there was anything revolutionary about the TRON soundtrack. It's more how Daft Punk - in their usual fashion - is able to merge retro sounds (even samples from arcade games) with a modern, Zimmeresque soundscape and funky grooves.

Interestingly, I would choose some other tracks for "excellence" than you, Thomas, such as "End of Line" and "End Titles". Agree with "Derezzed", though.

I would chose perhaps other tracks too Thor, considering the review isn't of me but of BOB

Now there are 2 who rate the tracks too

Oops, right you are. Sorry about that. I've just gotten used to you writing all the reviews around here.

Bob's Reviews? That has a nice ring to it... Hope you can take some off the workload of Thomas.

Cool review, Bob.

After having played it a few times, I get more a Tangerine Dream vibe from that track, but it's pretty cool in any case.

[edit]

You're right

No other 3d so far is as good as avatar. The technique everyone elses uses is totally different than avatar.

It's hugely expensive.

It's not actually a new technology, rather than a re-boot.

I think it's a trend, a fashion. But it'll show with the time if it'll develop to anything else more than a trend; it'll depend on the 1. usage and incorporation of the 3d inside the narrative and film; it must be a reason for it, not just be there 'cause it looses its meaning. 2. the quality of the movies and 3. the audience's response 'cause with the worldwide financial crisis, asking people to constantly pay for 3d that isn't so good truth to be told, is going to backfire. We'll see but proper stereoscopic 3d (as in avatar) is still very expensive to make and takes a lot of work.

But what Avatar did for 3D was phenomenal, if you didn't mind the glasses. I think the only way for 3D to find its place in the home market or any market is to ditch the glasses, so you can see the effect with your proper eyes.

I have a 3D enabled LED-TV, but in all honesty it looks rubbish compared to what Avatar looked like in the threatre, there's ghosting all over the place, and sometimes you need to adjust your eyes when it goes from a close-up to a wideshot for example, it's really weird and doesn't work nearly as well as I would've hoped. Maybe my TV isn't doing its job properly. They really need to perfect the system, because they're just not to the point where it will convince joe public.

As I think I may have said before, I have a cylindrical deviation that makes watching 3D a bit of a chore (and contact lenses hideously expensive ).
That said, Avatar, the only film I have seen in 3D since 1999's 30 minute T-Rex (which ended up making me cross-eyed an causing a headache for the rest of the day), was eminently watchable for me, even when it was still a bit of a relief taking off the glasses for about a minute or so every 50-60 minutes.
