Back to the Future the Ride - Tron Legacy
A seriously on-point review of the free album I will release 18 years from now (thats in December 2010 for those of you reading this on my bbs) … to those of you reading this when the release actually comes out, HELLO FUTURE! I WILL BE A GROWN MAN BY THE TIME YOU READ THIS!
Let’s get seriously post-modern for a minute. This is an album named after a sequel to a movie by a band named after a ride based on a movie. We’re looking at so many levels of appropriation in this release that people who get really crazy about ‘remix culture’ must be losing their minds right now. And that’s without even addressing the sound of the music.
This is what it must sound like on The Grid or inside the Metaverse. I mean, running with the title here, this album, which is apparently NOT performed by robots, sounds much more like what I imagine the outskirts of a computer-world to feel like. It’s decaying, fragmented, echoing, and charged. It’s definitely better than all the boring Hans Zimmer-aping parts of Daft Punk’s Tron Legacy soundtrack. It feels more in touch with the inside-the-machine feeling of isolation and electricity, anyway. I think it’s performed on guitars? but it could just as easily be The Gibson hacking you or the Machine-Man whispering sweet nothings in your ear.
