I've been listening to some new scores the last few days - Carol, Victor Frankenstein, Blake Neely's The Flash, Agents of SHIELD - that haven't been floating my boat as much as I had expected. I was thinking I'm just getting awfully weary of current scoring practices.
And then I thought, hey, let's give Tron Legacy another spin, haven't heard that in ages. Wow. Very much in the mode of the current modern style, but I still find the album to be just a great listen for what it is - and ever so much more enjoyable to me today than some of my recent choices.
They sure don't make 'em like they did five years ago!  (I'll probably feel the same way about some of these newbies five years from now, but today it is the Legacy of Tron.)

I frequently find myself going back to this one, myself. I'm still hoping we see a proper release from Intrada at some point in the future, though it might be a little costlier than some releases considering Daft Punk is involved (I think it would sell well enough to justify it, though, considering the popularity of the existing versions). Some of the best tracks are still only available in lossy format, which is a shame.

This is definitely a case where a single definitive release is warranted. The kaleidoscope of bonus tracks and exclusives meant that quite a bit of the score was released, but frustratingly scattered all over various different (often lossy) sources.
I also really like Joseph Trapanese's work on TRON: Uprising (which I found surprisingly engaging as a series, I'm quite disappointed it didn't get a second season, although it never was officially canceled).
TRON: Legacy took an existing idiom and took it in a different direction. It has been extremely influential, but like so many such work, the original has a freshness and energy to it that the scores that have tried to emulate it have never fully captured.
