Daft Punk brings extended edition of 'Tron: Legacy' score to Spotify, Apple Music

Source: Disney/Daft Punk

As the film Tron: Legacy celebrated its 10th anniversary earlier this month, musicians Daft Punk thought it best to celebrate the occasion with a special release. The Tron: Legacy - The Complete Edition is now available on streaming services Spotify and Apple Music. It contains the original score along with nine additional tracks. 

While the additional songs are basically available in different releases before (like vinyl versions, etc.), it's good to have them compiled in one place. It's an excellent soundtrack on its own, but, as Engadget points out, it was released when Daft Punk fans were looking for new music from the French duo, whose last studio album was 2005's Human After All. After you're done with this soundtrack, you might also want to relisten to Tron: Legacy Reconfigured, which is an excellent remix album.

'Sons of the Forest' will get a 2021 release

The sequel to The Forest will be coming back in the coming year. Endnight Games just released a new trailer for Sons of the Forest, revealing its release window. It places mundane with creepy moments side by side, along with some story clues. If you prefer going into the game blind, you might not want to watch this teaser. At the end of the minute-and-a-half clip, a title card shows a 2021 release date. But what we don't know if this will be an early access launch similar to its predecessor or a traditional release.

The Forest spent most of four years in Steam Early Access before it became official on the PC and PlayStation 4 in 2018.

This AI bot judges your Spotify listening habits

This might not seem as shareable as Spotify Wrapped, but How Bad Is Your Spotify? gives us a more judgemental take on your music taste. This AI bot was a project by digital culture site The Pudding, and it works similarly to Spotify Wrapped. You just need to log into your Spotify account and respond to some questions. And then you'll get a full, scathing report of your listening habits. Sometimes it might feel good to roast yourself, and your music taste might be a fun place to start.

Personally, it roasted me for how much Taylor Swift I listen to, but I'm okay with that.

Samsung Galaxy Smart Tag's design shown in new leak

We already know Samsung is working on a new smart tracker, the aptly named Galaxy Smart Tag. A new report gives us a better look at what it will look like. A GIF of the Galaxy Smart Tag was spotted in the APK file of the SmartThings app. It shows a rounded square design with tapered edges. It's a familiar look from trackers of other brands.

There's a ring shape at the centre and a hole at the top that might be for looping a lanyard or keychain through. The animation shows the tracking/Bluetooth function of the Galaxy Smart Tag. And as we've seen in previous leaks, we see the Black and White (Oatmeal) colours. The Galaxy Smart Tag is expected to be unveiled alongside the Galaxy S21 series.
