Disney have come under fire from Busy P, former manager of Daft Punk, who has ripped into the company for their upcoming ‘Tron: Legacy R3C0NF1GUR3D’ remix album.
P said in a blog post on his official website:
“Dear Disney people, you know I love you (we all do), but Walt! Come on! How can you take my robots friends so far away from good taste? I am 100% sure the Daft boys were not involved in this side (sad) project. Of course some of it is nice, and you know there are some of my friends on this CD, but this is not enough! A masterpiece like TRON soundtrack deserved the best and I am sad to discover the A&R at Disney records is apparently buying most of his electronic music in airports stores…
“Luckily I found an exciting UNRELEASED (or even better, REJECTED!) remix from our Belgium cousins GOOSE. This should have been the kind of great re-interpretation of Daft Punk’s music featured on this compilation. enjoy!”
