Wendy Carlos ‎– Tron (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

TRON – Original Motion Picture Soundtrack is the original 1982 album by composer Wendy Carlos (The Shining, Clockwork Orange).  The music - which was the first collaboration between Carlos and her partner Annemarie Franklin - featured a mix of an analogue Moog synthesizer and GDS digital synthesizer, along with non-electronic pieces performed by the London Philharmonic Orchestra.  Two additional tracks: “1990’s Theme” and “Only Solutions” were provided by U.S. band Journey, and after being unavailable for many years it is now considered a cult classic.

TRON tells the story of computer engineer Kevin Flynn who finds out that an executive at his company has been stealing his work.  Flynn tries to hack into the system but instead is transported into the digital world of The Grid where he has to battle Sark and the imposing Master Control Program. Helped by Tron (a security program) and Yori, Flynn becomes a freedom fighter for the oppressed programs of the grid.
