This is some of Carlos's most accesible work, largely atmospheric to the film but also melodic orchestral and synthetic sounds. The two tracks by Journey are a welcome change of pace and the bonus tracks will keeps curious Tron and Carlos fans happy, as well as Carlos herself - who always wanted the original LP to end with the track "Anthem for Keyboard Solo" but there was not enough room to keep it in.
My CD suffers from faint ticks (eg. track 13: Tower Music but also many other tracks) that sound remarkably like those found when playing LPs during quiet passages. Since this CD is compiled from original master tapes then I can only assume these are being added by a subsequent process.

If you are a big music fan, sometimes it's nice to have a change of pace from studio/live/compilation albums & soundtracks fill that niche quite nicely.
It is always interesting listening to a movie soundtrack for the first time, as you've probably seen the film already, but now you judge the music without the distraction of the visuals to see if it can stand up on it's own merits as a body of work.
"Tron" achieves this feet with spades, using a full orchestra as with the Star War/trek movies, but Wendy Carlos adds synthesizer giving the mood of the scores a much darker almost sterile feel.
It's a shame that soundtrack can't be re-recorded as one continual piece, instead of having to finish at the end of every scene (which unfortunately causes the album to constantly lose momentum).
As for the three extra tracks, "Anthem for Keyboard Solo" is strongest, a stripped down version of the song, but with Carlos playing a solo synthesizer, but programmed with a harpsichord, giving the piece an interesting classic/modern style.
So as a Sci-fi soundtrack (& film) "Tron" is pretty unique & stands proud as an ambitious & sometimes brutal work (I still can't believe Walt Disney financed the project), although the two Journey tracks could have been omitted (they hardly bring anything interesting to the table).

I've been a huge TRON fan ever since it first came out. I've always loved the music, so this CD was a necessary purchase. It would've been a 5 star rating, but some of the tracks do sound a bit dated now - not in terms of the music itself because you'd expect that to sound very 1980s - but more in terms of production quality, perhaps it could do with a bit of remastering.

Really just for lovers of early EM film scores. A bit basic and dated now. Try Sonic Seasonings from Carlos, a classic piece of early ambient music.

Listening to this as an album is a mixed fair...
... there are some pieces that feel real odd when not in the context of the Tron movie. However, other tracks are just amazing music played perfectly.
