Once again, an acclaimed French electronic act pairs with Trapanese and forsakes its artistic identity to satisfy the generic musical conventions of summer blockbusters. Like Tron: Legacy, Oblivion is a sci-fi extravaganza, directed by Joseph Kosinski, where awesome visual spectacles are staged around a wispy emotional core. Three years later, the scenario is playing out again with eerie accuracy: Ryan Dombal's review of the Tron: Legacy OST would perfectly fit M83's Oblivion OST with the replacement of a couple proper nouns.
The dance music auteurs all but vanished behind a deluxe sheen, into the idioms of Hans Zimmer and John Williams. But it was hardly recognizable as music by Daft Punk, which was odd because their usual aesthetic would have been such a dynamic fit for the movie's neon world. A full orchestra and expensive synthetic tones provided the requisite sweep and height the expected bombast and wonder. As fuel for an action flick, it was an efficient piece of work.
In 2010, the French electronic music duo Daft Punk teamed up with composer and arranger Joseph Trapanese to score a flashy but hollow reboot of the classic sci-fi movie Tron.
