Watch: Daft Punk - "Derezzed"

So earlier in the year it was revealed that French techno-pop duo Daft Punk were working on the soundtrack for Disney's Tron Legacy. The latest trailer for the movie featuring one of their songs was just released and surprisingly the trailer is also the music video for the new track called "Derezzed".
The track is pretty short, clocking in at a little over a minute and a half, which while not out of place for a trailer, kind of is for a music video, and a track from Daft Punk. The track itself fits in pretty well with the futuristic movie while also sounding like what they'd make on their own.
The music video/trailer is pretty much what'd you expect, including dazzling visuals of what fans can expect from the new technological innovations that enabled the movie while also featuring the duo themselves, momentarily.

Knowing that the duo plans on releasing the soundtrack commercially, I can't really argue about song length because there's a possibility that it could be longer. And really that's the only thing that I really find wrong with the trailer/music video/track. But like all trailers do, the video got me super pumped for Tron Legacy. So for that, kudos.

Watch the video:

Daft Punk alive after all these years

It's a been awhile since anyone has heard from the electronic duo known as Daft Punk and while they hadn't completely dropped off the radar, the duo has apparently been very busy since the release of their third studio album Human After All in 2005 and live album Alive 2007 in 2007. Playing shows and DJ sets in their native France as well as several shows abroad, creating the award nominated full-length movie Electroma, even creating mixes for DJ Hero. The band also signed to compose the film score for the upcoming Tron Legacy to be release December 17 and will make a small cameo as themselves. The duo was also quoted to be working on material for a new album with as of yet to be determined release date.

Here's to hoping there's more to come from them in the immediate future.
