This is another attempt to cash in on the propularity of TRON, due to the upcoming sequel. It's just like the "Official TRON Legacy Remix" situation we had a little while back.

There's a line between being a fan of TRON and doing something for fun, or doing it in the hope it eventually leads to some form of kickback. I suspect that line has been crossed in this case, with it being the latter.

I'll be glad to be proven wrong. But if I'm not, I honestly saw this coming a mile away. I told our fellow TRON-Sector admins that this site looked suspicious, like a scam.

1. I'll post a link later to the original artist's site where he specifically notes this was just his idea and not related to a film.

2. Have any of you EVER heard of a film soundtrack being completed prior to a film being shot?

1. You mean Robert Simons?

While I could easily see how this whole thing is fan-made, I don't think it's any sort of scam. I mean, he's not taking anyone's money, he's not bashing anyone or anything. It's just some music and a little rambling on what may or may not have been a previous attempt at a Tron sequel.

He's trying to present it as something more than what it is.

It's a scam in the sense that I don't believe him when he says he created a soundtrack for an abandoned attempt at a sequel.

He's trying to pass off his work as somehow being official or semi-official. He's just using Tron fandom and excitement as a way to draw attention to himself for personal gain, by pretending his work is legit. At least, that is my belief. If I'm proven wrong, then I will admit it and apologize. But I'm betting I'm not.

Tron 1.5:
interesting if this is indeed a period peice.

"In late 1998, I was commissioned to compile and produce the soundtrack for a sequel to the film "Tron". A draft of the story had already been written and early filming had begun (as reported by ZDNet on July 27, 1999). As I understand it, the film was kept in great confidence with the producers as Pixar was still in negotiations with Disney about the responsibilities of the production teams."

Name the producers.

I'm holding out that there's truely some history to this, so if you go through the trouble to reference some of the statements on this website, explain the authorization more thoroughly. order abortion pill abortion pill buy online where to buy abortion pillwhere to buy abortion pill abortion types buy abortion pill online

As I understand it, the film was kept in great confidence with the producers as Pixar was still in negotiations with Disney about the responsibilities of the production teams."

I noticed the webpage states that he was commissioned in late 1998 to do the soundtrack and that early filming HAD ALREADY BEGUN (in late 1998, as I interpret it) and links to a ZDNet article in July of 1999. Well, in the linked article, it stated that work WOULDN'T BEGIN on the project until after Toy Story 2 was released on November 24, 1999. Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see anything in the article about early filming had ALREADY BEGUN. To me, that screws up the whole timeline and gives it an air of illegitimacy.

I listened to all the tracks, and personally, I like most of them. But I'm with DaveTRON, movie soundtrack-caliber tracks they aren't.

I find it strange that EVERY track is comprised of electronic music. Correct me if I'm wrong, but NONE of the tracks contain any orchestral or more traditional instrumental elements. I would think there would be at least SOME traditional instruments used, even in a TRON soundtrack.

I predict that even Daft Punk have probably infused some traditional instrumentation into their soundtrack. After all, part of the movie takes place in the real world.

Oh well, I'm just looking forward to any new official news. I'm really interested to see what the suits look like with the effects added. (especially Olivia Wilde's...RAWR!!) abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

If you're wondering what those last two posts by poz are about, it's because he admitted he was the webmaster of that site (quelle surprise) and that the whole thing is fake (no, really?).

He obviously had second thoughts and edited his posts. But I managed to get a screenshot.


Busted.

Hey poz,

Sorry we ripped your site to shreds, but what do you expect from a bunch of TRON fanatics? LOL! Hey man, I think most of the tracks are pretty good. As a matter of fact, I downloaded all of them. But I think you might have crossed a line with some of the people here by portraying the website and music as something that they are not. I know you meant it as something fun and lighthearted, but like I said, you're dealing with TRON experts here (one of which I am DEFINITELY NOT), and I don't think they take too kindly to what was probably perceived as a "trivialization" of TRON. So of course, they were going to take you to task on it. You almost had me man, but the date thing was the smoking gun....LOL! Well anyway, I'm glad you've joined the community here where we can talk all things TRON! where to buy abortion pill ordering abortion pills to be shipped to house buy abortion pill online

Haha. OK, I give up. It really was just supposed to be fun, as I said the the screenshot above. And, like I said, I didn't really expect anyone was being fooled, so I thought people would get the joke and appreciate the fun -- or write the whole thing off. Anyway, I'm still blown away by the knowledge of everyone on this site, continue to be a huge Tron fan, and I'll see you around the other threads.

I'm listening to the music now. Some of it is pretty fluffy, and I wouldn't call it motion picture quality, but it's pretty fun electronica and I'll probably grab a couple tracks.

Hey Dave, you mentioned you've heard some good stuff through your work on video games. Do you have any links or names you could share? I'm always on the look out for new music. Thanks.
