Adagio for Tron is the thesis, and Ruglen Holon is the answer waiting on deck.

Adagio for Tron by Daft Punk off Tron: Legacy (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (18) opens space, decay, and atmosphere without letting the air go limp. It leaves Ruglen Holon by Aphex Twin off Disc 2 - Drukqs (2001) a clean lane instead of boxing the handoff in. Inside Aphex Twin close-up, it still feels like a real choice rather than a decorative one. Inside Aphex Twin close-up, it still earns its place as an authored move. Ruglen Holon is already changing how the current record reads.
