Daft Punk’s score for TRON: LEGACY (2010) is one of the greatest film soundtracks of the 21st century.
The fusion of electronic music and a full orchestra gives the film a scale and identity unlike anything else.
In Backrooms (2026), the audio track playing from the caveman cutout when Clark enters the Backrooms is a massive Easter egg from the actual 1977 NASA Voyager Golden Record - a looping track of greetings in 55 different languages, originally sent into space to communicate with extraterrestrial life.
ASYNC planted these prehistoric caveman-shaped cutouts as a trap system. The looping human voices are meant to bait the Still Life entities roaming the maze into approaching and destroying the cutouts, which then triggers a gas outbreak designed to knock them out for research. Clark doesn't get lured as an entity though, he stumbles into one of these traps by accident, mistaking the voices for actual humans somewhere in the maze.
The choice of audio is the most interesting part though. ASYNC could've used anything to bait these things, but they specifically picked a record that was made to communicate with alien life in outer space. That's not a coincidence. It's the film's way of saying ASYNC sees whatever is living in the Backrooms as something so far beyond human understanding that the only reference point they had was how we'd try to talk to something from another planet
