M83's Score for Oblivion

I couldn't believe one of my favourite modern bands is doing a film score. And the result seems pretty good too. But get ready for a score heavily inspired by Zimmer's Batman trilogy and Daft Punk's Tron:

Awesome. Bladerunner-ish!

I think it's more Everything!-ish. The list of influences is longer than my arm

But damn it, it has some excellent action tracks! I was just expecting something less derivative from M83.

When I was watching it on my PC, I actually paused and searched for (what turned out to be) "Starwaves", after the scene it plays in. That's a great track.
The main.. chord change (it's not really a melody is it) is also very recognizable, I already knew it before watching the movie (without knowing it), thanks to about every tv-show I watched using it at some point.

Love the soundtrack to Oblivion. Can't get enough of it. The ending credits song by Suzanne Sundfor is fantastic. Have been searching YouTube for different remixes and cover versions.
