Initially I did not want to release this version here, there are already way too many versions of this score available. Why might my version be a good choice for you? For one I�d like to think that it sounds better than the recording sessions or the OST. While the difference is very small I still retained much of the dynamic the sessions offered; the OST was a Loudness War CD, this edition is not. Which also means that if you�re going to compare the sound to the OST you�ll have to make mine louder by turning the volume knob in order for it to reach the same gain as the OST. I used the sessions released some weeks ago, albeit complete lossless versions (before they were released here a few days ago). Is there something else? Yes, I combined a few tracks to form larger pieces. I crossfaded them when it made sense to me: "Sea of Simulation" for example crossfades directly into the next track. Sounds odd but that�s the way it was done in the movie and it felt all right. On other occasions I refrained from doing so, I didn�t combine "The Grid" and "Bedtime Story" for example despite those two having been combined into one track for the movie, it just didn�t feel right. Does this mean that there�s something missing? No, it doesn�t. The contents are the same as they were on the sessions. Is it complete? Don�t know, in the movie some tracks are longer, most are shorter or absent. Think of my edition what you want, I myself consider it to be the edition containing the intended compositions.
While the music was fun the cover wasn�t. The design schemes Disney used for the promotional campaign were hard to match and a pain in the ass, yet I�ve always found it strikingly beautiful (just like the movie). I wasn�t completely successful in capturing their glossy, shiny style but I came close I think. The most prominent colour would be Cyan of course, I even went as far as to colour all my logos accordingly. I kept some design ideas present on the OST cover but went into a different direction otherwise. Well, it doesn�t really matter since you can choose between seven frontcovers, four backcovers and two inlaycovers. As always, the final design is determined by your own choices.
UPDATE 2017: I uploaded it again for those who didn’t have a chance getting it before. While doing this I updated it slightly. The sound is a bit more bassy and a tad more directional, stage improves slightly. The cover was updated as well, I replaced the old logos with the ones I created in 2015, correcting some errors along the way. I was flabbergasted; 4 years ago I loved this cover, today I think that it’s mediocre and a bourgeois design. I subsequently deleted the ugliest ones: one front cover and two back covers. In hindsight, this isn’t one of my best releases. Today, I would master it differently and I also wouldn’t include that much music anymore (some of it is redundant or even a bit obnoxious). But I didn’t delete anything from my set (though I altered some fade-outs for certain tracks). So, as always, have fun 🙂
FAQs:
1. if the archives are gone, they are gone, I won�t upload them again
2. if someone from Disney reads this: I will delete this the moment you release this score in complete or expanded form – so start now to work on it 😉

Oh, nothing special. I attempted to mimic the mastering from the OST (minus the exaggerated loudness of course) – and I think I was successful. I forgot to mention that I also included the two songs which is something that I usually never do but here it made sense. The "Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This" comes from my very own original disc BTW, the version on the sessions was lossy and I wanted it to be 100% lossless.
Yeah, I did… so much for my plans 😀
Thank you so much!
Yep. I found another source some weeks ago.
Thanks. Regarding ‘Transformers’ and Dark Knight trilogy… no, never. Sorry.

Sonic, did you forgot "Solar Sailer" (5m32a Solar Sailer) or you removed it by yourself ?
It’s part of "One Day", which is "Solar Sailer" plus the "Intro" combined, as far as I can tell.
I renamed ‘Solar Sailer’ to ‘One Day’ because Jeff Bridges says something particularly beautiful to Garrett Hedlund which I then took as the title. And The ‘Intro’ segues right into the original ‘Solar Sailer’. They fitted tonally so perfectly that I had to do it. It was done like that in the movie… even though the intro has been shortened very much. BTW, ‘Solar Sailer ALT’ is now ‘Sea of Simulation’ which segues right into the next track.
Thanks it’s a perfect match!
Thank you so much for this! I love it! And the covers!!!!!:)
I will reup this if links are down, PM me.
Just listened.. very good idea you did that, and thanks for the revised covers ! you’re the best, what are your next releases ? :naughty:
I feel like this piece is a patch of two tracks so you didn’t want to repeat it, but don’t know the score enough to tell… Someone maybe?

Because it’s not part of the film
I feel like this piece is a patch of two tracks so you didn’t want to repeat it, but don’t know the score enough to tell… Someone maybe?
Gosh, you�re right! In my memory it transformed itself to be the piece called "Finale (Short Version)" on the sessions. But while it is similar in structure it is not the same piece. I just listened to the track on my original OST CD and it�s a genuine piece. Well, I�ll probably rip it and include on the second CD along with the alternates. I�ll re-upload the complete archive later… I should not have overseen this, thank you very much for asking.

That�s so very nice of you… but you shouldn�t have done it. I�m just uploading the revised version including the ‘Ouverture’.
I will do it again 😉
Normally I hate redundancy… the ‘Ouverture’ sounded similar to both versions of ‘Finale’ – but in this case it was different since it included a pipe organ. Knowing the original TRON by Wendy Carlos this is of course an essential instrument to the whole TRON franchise, that�s the reason for its inclusion.
It’s really a tragedy that this movie is such a failure, such an awful piece of shite.
Really enjoyable and will be looking forward to your future editions!
Thanks for your time and effort mate. 🙂

Well, the vinyl version that was offered here suffered from several problems… and one could argue what the most promiment problem was. First, it had an awful amount of wow and flutter, secondly, channels were reversed. The latter means that high strings normally positioned to the left were suddenly on the right with the result that the soundstage didn�t have a chance. I could have corrected that but the wow and flutter couldn�t be corrected. Then of course it offered no additional benefit as it was derived from the same bandwidth limited master the CD was mastered from. But I�m glad that you like my version… I never intended it to be better than the vinyl version. I�m afraid I don�t take vinyl very seriously.
I cannot believe i never noticed this. Maybe because i listened through the cd once and never put it on again.

"Bom bom bom bom bom..TRON"! love that little easter egg at the end of "Sweet Dreams" haha
You�re the first to notice 🙂 At least publicly. I couldn�t think of a place where to put Jeff Bridges so I included it there. On ‘Small Soldiers’ I did something similar which nobody has noticed yet 😉
Thanks, Sonic!
The movie has the problem of a thin story but it still is a post-modern cyberpunk dystopia. And the thing that always gets me is its emotional core, the father/son relationship portrayed by Jeff Bridges and Garrett Hedlund is believable, besides, both are actually very good actors. And the marriage of music and pictures is something I�ve seen to this extent only in music videos, it�s one of the most perfect examples of filmmusic perfectly supporting the movie AND being able to stand on its own. I for one never expected Daft Punk (we shouldn�t forget Joseph Trapanese here) to pull something like this off, for me this has been one of the most positive score surprises during the last decade.
One of the most beautiful looking movies in combination with a fantastic score – is there something better?
And Toby Chu and Clay Duncan. Also, Hans Zimmer, Harry Gregson-Williams, John Powell, Christophe Beck & Brian Loucks
Yep! They contributed highly to this score. Don’t forget daft punk wasn’t really familiar with orchestrations and had quite a help from the names as DAKoftheOTA mentioned above.
Exactly. And Daft Punk and Joseph Trapanese have proven – like John Powell or JNH – that others can do the typical "Zimmerisms" better than he himself.
Or maybe there were no awards for Batman Begins, TDK, TDKR, Inception, or POTC because they weren’t as good as Williams’ and Desplat’s scores.
2010 : Social Network’s score better than Inception, doubt it, inception is truly unique in its kind.
2000 : Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon better than Gladiator ? let me laugh…
The Postman better than Braveheart ?
And with that, no nomination for all the amazing Zimmer’s work of the last decade.
At the end, it’s a matter of opinion, and same fight for the best actor (Dicaprio), best director (Nolan), still.. matter of opinion

I never said that the Academy always makes good choices. Nor did I say that I dislike everything Zimmer does. All I am saying is that, in my opinion, it doesn’t matter why Batman, TDK, TDKR, Inception (granted, it was somewhat unique in 2009), and POTC were snubbed — none of them deserved to win anyway. Except maybe At World’s End.
1.) Inception was 2010
2.) Inception was actually nominated for "Best Original Score", while none of the others were
– Melodies and creation of themes.
– Technic.
– Is the composer doing something new / unheard ?
– appreciation of the public.
And For exemple Inception and batman had all of these. So maybe the academy and (you?) couldn’t reward superhero movies. What’s your opinion on that and for you why batman, GLADIATOR and inception for exemple wouldn’t deserve an oscar ?
– Melodies and creation of themes.
– Technic.
– Is the composer doing something new / unheard ?

2 years later, and I’m still baffled as to how "The Social Network" won "Best Original Score"
I totally agree. It was a piece of musical gibberish! Didn’t even deserve the nomination. I’m a huge fan of Reznor as of NIN but his work on the social network was garbage. The only cue I remember from the film was the composers take of ‘in the hall of the mountain king’.
Agreed.
i have a serious doubt on the criteras the academy use to give an award. I think (and sorry for my bad english) that to give an oscar we must have 4 major criteras :
– Melodies and creation of themes.
– Technic.
– Is the composer doing something new / unheard ?
– appreciation of the public.
Makes sense to me. 🙂 But other than public appreciation, I don’t think Batman had any of those. Batman Begins was decent. The Joker’s two-note theme in The Dark Knight was effective in the film, but serves as little more than noise on album. The Dark Knight Rises really only had two new and interesting themes: the ones for Catwoman and Bane. Everything else was loud, repetitive, and often inappropriate for the scene being scored.
Don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against superhero soundtracks. I really enjoy scores like Superman, The Incredibles, and even less memorable stuff like Hancock. I just can’t join you in heaping praise on Zimmer’s Batman music. It makes for a good listen when I’m in the right mood, but that’s about it. The way Zimmer wove that French song into the underscore of Inception was a little more inventive, but like Batman, it only has a few brilliant moments.
Oh and by the way, I do like Gladiator as well.
Sorry we hijacked your thread Sonic!

All right. I did not want to participate in this discussion. But upon reading this I�d like to. First of all I�d like to state that I indeed do like what Hans Zimmer does. BUT: where did Batman and Inception have Melodies and creation of themes? Or technique? New and unheard? No, not in my opinion. Batman was a blatant example of a composer being lazy, his theme for the Joker was just two notes. Yes, he understood that character. But was he able to do something about this? Point is, he lacks musical education to create what sometimes is necessary, to revolutionize music you first have to understand it. And he doesn�t. He knows this pretty well (http://www.vi-control.net/forum/viewtopic.php?p=3670628&highlight=#3670628) so he tries to hide it by using other composers or by destroying any subleties. From what I�ve read he�s a fun guy to work with. He knows that ‘Inception’ is not brilliant or innovative, the famous brass is just brute force. And the ‘melody’ he used for Inception is nothing more than the bass line from ‘Non, je ne regrette rien’. But he tried to sell it as ‘transcendend’ because he read the book ‘Goedel, Escher, Bach’ – and by saying that he made it clear that he did not understand what actually was ‘transcendend’. What I don�t like about Zimmer aren�t his styles, they will be out of fashion in ten years or so anyway, his marketing sucks. He�s very good at presenting and selling himself, he turned himself into an industry, a trademark. But success doesn�t necessarily make everything better or justifies everything.
Using songs as a starting point for scores is nothing new, countless others before him have done it. Using two notes to represent a character is also not new. What still baffles me that the actually superior scores are always ignored. What about ‘Frost/Nixon’? I thought that score was brilliant – especially for Hans who stepped out of what he usually does. Or ‘The Ring’… well, he�s no Chris Young but at least he tried – and it fit the movie and its atmosphere so very well.
We don�t need to talk about the Academy, they behave exactly like you described. But they cannot give Zimmer another award simply because he rarely tries, he�s just continuing to sell himself. I for one wait for the day when he finally does something fresh.
I already made two: ‘Inception’ (it�s not a genius score but I like it nonetheless once it�s freed from the nonsense HZ tried to sell it with) and ‘The Ring’. Both were shared here, ‘Inception’ alongside Sinus’ version.

Very well said!! Don’t get me wrong although i love some of Mr.Zimmer’s work what has been mentioned by Sonic is very much the reason i learned later on being a fan of film scores that so much credit has been given to him whereas there’s numerous ghosts (often starting/fumbling) composers behind some of his scores and it could have been hard to know which is his own original composition from the others contribution. But as far as presenting himself and inventing a successful marketing strategy for himself and his team that is exceptional par none. 🙂
listening to the edit you made with this awesome score is just Tron-nific!!! and Tron-tastic!! i would put this tomorrow in full blast and listen to it in full eargasmic glory!!
thanks a bunch!!! job well done!! 😀
Thank you!
Same problem on my end as well. Facing a similar problem with the Part 3 as well. It would be great if someone could reupload this on some place like MEGA.
However, @OP – The first thing I wait for, after the sessions of an awaited score are posted, is your mastered version. I treasure your previous works, Thank you 🙂

Missed that one too.
Does anyone got the revised back cover which was included in the revised version?
Thanks in advance!
Much obliged.

Going to rip the bluray. Haven’t tested TL with it yet.

Thanks of this and thanks of course to Sonic for doing his Deluxe Edition in the first place. I thought I had all of his works, but this one slipped past me.
A wonderful score. Thanks all.
SonicAdventure easily ranks as one of my favourite unknown persons in the world. What he did with Perfume, Braveheart and Superman Returns is simply outstanding (although I will say Ottman’s score is one of the least exciting scores SA has touched thus far). If only he didn’t dislike Zimmer so much sigh who doesn’t enjoy overwrought melodrama once in a while? Amittedly, I’m not a massive Zimmer-phile myself and find his tendency for retreading similar melodies nothing short of unnerving (similar feelings for the really poor mixing on film) he’s really on the far end of that spectrum in terms of disliking his sound. That said, lots of bro-love for him <3
Read previous posts.
Hey all
Thanks for the original upload/subsequent re-ups 🙂
Would someone be able to tell me if Ouverture, tagged track number 49, should lie between "48 Finale (Alternate)" & "49 Tron Scherzi"?
Cheers, Paul
Link is down, unfortunately. Was it a different master or pulled from the OST? Anyway, thanks for the effort!
You didn’t notice post #123.
Also I cannot seem to find the covers Sonic had updated… does anyone have them? Or a working link to the full 2nd version?
Cheers.
Worked for me just now.
Was a real slow download though !
Did you copy/past the pw?…maybe caught a "space" gap when copied…? I dunno….!!
cant have to many versions o this excellent score.
Still working!!!!

It’s the original, not updated version.
Now my inner Daft Punk fanboy would probably object to any removal of the music, should there eventually be a 2.0. However, whatever works in an album presentation is to be kept, so I would understand from that angle. Been meaning to revisit the score, so this will do.

Well, there probably won’t be a 2.0. But who knows, sometimes these things are a spur-of-the-moment thing 🙂
My 2 cents. Daft Punk gets all the credit for this but the reality is, this including Oblivion would be nothing without Joseph Trapanese. It’s his skill that was able to work with these big bands and translate their melodies and ideas into film score language.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I would love this too
Thank you.
Bump once again.
Still no one can reupload the Version 1.5 (2017 Edition)?
https://mega.nz/#F!I5NSkA6b!itwF2OYESOdAES22-atDYQ
Thanks for this. But i believe this is the Version that was once already uploaded in this thread (Version 1.0).
Do you remember what you did improve back then?
I have two Versions now, one i had before the there was an Update to this Score from you (1.0). And one that seems to be the updated one, which has actually no crossfades for the tracks, which means every Track is standalone and doesn�t fade into the next.
Can you confirm that you reworked/disabled the crossfades when you did the Improved Version? So i would know which Version i actually have now. 😀
Thanks for the help.
In that case I would also be interested in a reup of the new version

100% agree. Always pains me when Trapanese doesn’t get any love, as he does a brilliant job and I hope he continues getting opportunities in cinema scoring (unlike one-and-done DP).
