Guess who's back! Everyone's anxious about the new Tron movie. Jeff Bridges returns to this update on the 1982 movie; but more importantly for us, Daft Punk scores the film. Quite apropos too since Wendy Carlos--who's better known for her soundtrack to A Clockwork Orange, and introducing the Moog sound to the general public--scored the first film. Aside from a teaser of a light bike chase from the new movie, not much else has been released so far. Yet everyone's clamoring for the little bits proffered, with a choppy video of a Comic Con Tron display, and possible new Daft Punk material. I like the way it sounds: dark, synthetic and nostalgic of the beginning of the computer era. Below, check out the supposed theme song to Tron and a reworked version by Cryda Luv. Also, click here if you forgot what the old Tron looks like.

Junior Boys rawk. I was meaning to post a review of their album Begone Dull Care up here, but I let it slide for too long, so now I'll just tell you that album starter "Parallel Lines" is candidate for song of the year, and that I've had daydreaming sessions with the opening jingle for "Work" several times since I first heard it.

Damn Arms did break up, but Bang Gang is gonna leave us with a remixes release of their last single, Destination. I'm pretty excited because Destination has been one of my favorite songs to play anywhere, even if it is one last hurrah for a group who I thought were meant for better. Here's a couple of the remixes, one from the consistently good Ted & Francis and the other one a bombastic, eerie gem from Jaunt.

Sally Shapiro and Johan Agebjörn are bliss. They have everyone beat when it comes to making soft, balearic Moroder-esque disco.
