Much as I personally like the Wendy Carlos Tron work, I've got a feeling it didn't resonate with Disney audiences and that really hurt the film at the box office. The visuals were really slick but the music was very jarring and sometimes discordant for people used to saccharine soundtracks... https://www.wendycarlos.com/+tron.html https://www.wendycarlos.com/+tron.html

Also did the great soundtrack for A Clockwork Orange. An under-appreciated electronic music pioneer. https://www.wendycarlos.com/+wcco.html https://www.wendycarlos.com/+wcco.html

  I wouldn’t say under appreciated, her albums sold millions and she has received several awards and is an important figure in the history of electronic music. Just not as well known as she should be in recent times.

It’s certainly not a crowd pleaser like (say) John Williams’ Star Wars work. But Tron does have a number of memorable themes: https://youtu.be/x28ysu_zWmQ https://youtu.be/x28ysu_zWmQ https://youtu.be/ZnqEUfrBmzI https://youtu.be/ZnqEUfrBmzI https://youtu.be/0SwjFwBkHR0 https://youtu.be/0SwjFwBkHR0 Personally I find the stuff in the second half of the Ending Titles quite wonderful.

I really liked it. Have good memories of it while playing TRON in the arcade. Maybe they could have inserted a bit of Kraftwerk?
