your an idiot, the point of the wendy carlos soundtrack was to make it sound like videogame music wich is why they used synthesizer music and blended elements of orchestra and synth. this movie is going to suck if this is the music, why cant franchises like terminator,startrek, james bond and now tron learn that music continuity is everything. At least lucas and spielberge have common sense that music is 85% of a movie and important as a character in it and to use music continuity in starwars/indy series. sad sad sad.

I just hope they don't make it another Speed Racer-type movie. Part of the charm of the original is how everything is pain-stakingly hand-illustrated and stark/minimal. Then again, if they are smart, they will take their cues from/hire these guys to do the visuals, because I can't imagine anything being much cooler (plus Cheech & Chong doesn't hurt either): http://tinyurl.com/nwp2rc

That's the intent and uniqueness of much of Wendy Carlos' work — classical and baroque modes on analogue synthesizers. She was using the unique merits of Moog and other synths to show how expressive they could be as musical instruments, and in an age before digital sampling was vast, it wasn't so much "fake orchestra" as exploring new possibilities.

The original's soundtrack hasn't aged much better than the original's visuals.

The Carlos soundtrack sounds way too "fake orchestra" for my taste.

An electronica soundtrack may make more sense.

I'd be very disappointed if there wasn't a Wendy Carlos remix or some connection to the original themes. (Daft Punk have done Bach-esque stylings before in "Veridis Quo".)
