TRON Legacy and the Daft Punk Enthusiast

With each passing second, Daft Punk fans across the nation eagerly wait to get high, put on 3-D glasses and watch Tron: Legacy while bobbing their heads to the soundtrack's tense electro beats. The buzz on the internet, fueled by the masses that are craving new Daft Punk content, is palpable to say the least, and rightfully so-- Daft Punk rocks. There is one glaring issue with all of this anticipation though; it's a fucking SOUNDTRACK! Let me preface my comments by saying that there have obviously been some legendary soundtracks throughout movie making history and that in no way should Daft Punk's efforts be discounted. But, at the same time, I've sat down and listened to the entirety of Daft Punk's latest work and by no means could it be considered a stand alone LP. The tracks are clearly crafted with the movie in mind, and without this visual aspect the score falls pretty flat. Granted, when Daft Punk's soundscapes collide with 3-D lasers, futuristic motorbikes and Jeff Bridges, I'm sure I'll be wet with excitement, but that's only a glimpse of what the fans want. We crave/need another Daft Punk LP. Think about how much attention this soundtrack and movie has received purely because our beloved robot masterminds are working on the project. There is clearly still a huge market out there for Daft Punk and I can only wonder why the starved fans haven't been able to listen to a new hot single, a leaked sound clip, at least Something!? Putting this into context, their last proper album was Human After All which was released in 2005 (Alive 2007 was a mash-up album, not new content). It's been nearly six years since Daft Punk has filled our robot ears with sweet electronic music from the future. I am just like everyone else, I want to see Tron and I want to dance to Daft Punk, but until we receive some actual new content we will be left waiting and wanting. Maybe they have something stored up for us? Maybe they are secretly working around the clock? OR Maybe they can't match the mastery of Discovery? Maybe they are Human After All....
