Everything flows with simplicity and logic in this opus. Well done. A masterpiece

WOW! Incredible follow up to the already amazing "The Grid". Occams Laser's passionate appreciation for Tron and Tron Legacy is supremely evident here.
Somehow he has managed to create a score that IS NOT an imitation of Daft Punk's already amazing score but create something truly unique and sophisticated that draws inspiration from idea's and feelings that are generated from within the world of Tron.
My hat is off to you! Favorite track: Solar Sailer.

spellbinding, divine hardware sounds a la 1982, great addition to cinematic soundtrack/synthscape library, if you dig giallo scores + John Carpenter, Occams Laser is up there in the good ranks 💯💎🎹
Favorite track: The Rectifier.

about
RETURN TO THE GRID
In 1989 the creator of The Grid disappears. Haunted by this mystery we are drawn to a familiar place, The Arcade. Soon we are pulled into a digital world, one which has become more advanced than we could have ever imagined. This cyber frontier is filled with unknown dangers that must be fought to survive. With corrupted creations and unique beings born inside this digital world; it is hard to decipher friend from foe. It seems we will need every scrap of help to traverse this cyber universe, find the creator of The Grid and escape alive.
This album acts as a direct continuation to my album ‘The Grid’ from 2016, however it also acts as a spiritual replacement soundtrack to Tron Legacy. In my head this is what I would have done with the soundtrack to the second film in the Tron series. Taking inspiration from the elements and instruments that were used in the original score but with a few modern techniques, styles, effects and my own spin on implementation.
The album is comprised of 24 tracks, with each track name giving a slight/blatant hint at what part of the story each is meant to represent.
Ranging from fast paced and aggressive to slower and more contemplative; this is not about genre, nor is it about style. Instead this album is about how music can make you feel. How a digital creation can translate into an analogue body.

Like a fast paced horror movie with guitars. Except you never want it to end. Until maybe their next album comes out.

I don't know what it is, but in DWTD's discography this record really stands out to me. Picking a favourite track is difficult because all of the songs sound incredible to me, but POISON is probably the most fresh and energetic song in my opinion.
