The Rinzler boy

Most remixes of film or TV score music are meh, but French remixer Basic Slack's take on "Rinzler"--Daft Punk's thrilling cue from the Tron: Legacy "Disc Wars" skirmish between Sam (Garrett Hedlund) and Rinzler (Anis Cheurfa), the antagonist who always arms himself with two discs a la Chow Yun-Fat's double Beretta action in John Woo flicks and Darth Maul's double-bladed saber-wielding in The Phlaccid Menace--is a pretty good expansion of that two-minute cue.



Tron: Legacy music supervisor Jason Bentley told the MTV Movies Blog that "The score that [Daft Punk] set out to make was one that could stand with Star Wars or Superman." It sure does stand with them. The fact that I keep adding more tracks from Tron: Legacy to "Assorted Fistful" rotation and have listened to Daft Punk's score repeatedly, whether in its original form or in remixes like Basic Slack's--and even more often than I did with any of the Star Wars or Superman score albums--is proof of that.
