Grammy award winning electronic duo Daft Punk - who takes music as seriously as
TRON fans take computer references - is scoring the upcoming film TRON: Legacy
It's no accident that the group's two visionary musicians, Guy-Manuel de
Homen-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, are TRON fans too. Having grown up with an
admiration for the ground-breaking TRON film in the 80s, Daft Punk took on the
scoring of the next chapter of the story with extraordinary thought and
precision. The critically acclaimed French duo composed and produced the album

1994年，他们在苏格兰拉斯哥的独立舞曲厂牌Soma旗下发行了首张单曲《New Wave》，引起了Virgin唱片公司的注意。Virgin的法国区负责人Maya Masseboeuf说：“Daft Punk是我见到的最优秀的法国电子乐队，而且他们非常懂得如何计划和推广自己，在音乐和外型上都非常有创意。”第二年，单曲《Daft Punk》使他们一举成名，并受到电子界泰斗The Chemical Brothers的盛赞。随后的首张专辑《Homework》更被誉为法国舞曲音乐新浪潮的奠基作品。在他们之前，法国流行舞曲音乐在世界乐坛并没有很高的地位，人们印象中，那里似乎只有Johnny Holliday这样的感伤小调歌手。专辑名为《Homework》，实际上就是在Bangalter的卧室里用最初级的电子设备制作的。甚至有传言说设计唱片封套所花的费用，都比做唱片里音乐所用的高。就是这样一张DIY唱片，最终在全球售出了200万张(对法国艺人来说，这是个很了不起的数字)。
