From Industrial Grit to Neon Grid
The cyber-gods have smiled on us: Nine Inch Nails have officially dropped the TRON: Ares (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), out today via Universal. Yup. Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have gone full neon-drenched cyberspace, and the first track, ‘As Alive As You Need Me To Be’ already has a shiny new music video up on YouTube.
It’s the kind of pairing that just makes sense. NIN’s signature industrial brood meeting Disney’s most fluorescent franchise. Basically, if you’ve ever wanted to be crushed by bass while gazing at glowing circuit cities, today’s your day.
