Where this album fits

Career context
In 1982, Wendy Carlos was already recognized for her pioneering work in electronic music, particularly with her influential album 'Switched-On Bach'. 'Tron' served as a follow-up to her previous soundtrack work for 'A Clockwork Orange' and marked a significant evolution in her style, deeply integrating synthesized sounds with traditional orchestration to complement the film's groundbreaking visual effects.
