Tron Legacy Soundtrack Release Date Announced Dan Koelsch, September 27, 2010 Finally, after much speculation, the official release date has been announced for the soundtrack to Tron Legacy. For those who don’t know why it’s so anticipated, the entire film was scored by Daft Punk. You can pick up your copy of the soundtrack on November 22nd, and there are a few other new details as well. The official site for the Daft Punk soundtrack (which has a kick-ass track playing in the background) lets you pre-order either a digital copy for $9.99, or a CD version that includes an exclusive Daft Punk film poster and a “new track” for $39.98. It’s not clear whether this track is related to the film or just something new from Daft Punk. The binary code that teases a timetable for revealing the new track translates to “soon”, so that’s no help.. That poster sounds awesome, but what does it look like? It appears we’ll find out at 9pm Pacific Time on October 9th, as the site’s countdown implies. The blinking specks in the poster’s space could be filling in the image, so maybe we’ll see more of it as time goes on. Check out the site and see if you can find any other easter eggs. Below is the official album cover for the Tron Legacy Soundtrack by Daft Punk, to be released by Disney Records. Viral Marketing Daft PunkSoundtrackTron Legacy
