PREVIOUS SUPPORTER-ONLY EXCLUSIVE!

As the first album created for the MUSIC realm of E82, Journey Into Imagination was chosen to begin the Future World Soundtrack Series for its unique repertoire of compositions that provided a pitch-perfect opening act for the many pavilions to follow. 

13 years and over 30 albums later, the Journey Into Imagination has been completely refreshed with the latest resources and restoration techniques I've cultivated over the last decade.  

Literally, ALL of the tracks for each "Disc" have been either enhanced, replaced, or added with superior sound quality including...

  • Newly digitized 1st generation masters from the original DATs for the Journey Into Imagination (attraction), The Electronic Philharmonic, and the full version of Makin' Memories.
  • Remastered pavilion atmospheres that bring back details not heard in 40 years with crystal-clear clarity.
  • Enhanced Magic Journeys and Magic Eye Theater soundtracks
  • *NEW* Journey Into Imagination Suite showcasing George Wilkins' amazing score
  • A reconstructed Captain EO mix featuring a newly discovered James Horner preshow score and enhanced soundtrack
  • *NEW* Imagination Institute Atmosphere with direct soundtrack sources 
  • *NEW* Journey Into YOUR Imagination full soundtrack
  • And all other tracks have been remastered for higher dynamic range and completely noiseless listening experience!

While the rest of the world will have to wait until the 40th anniversary on March 5th, now begins your exclusive preview of the elevated edition of Journey Into Imagination!

Techno Millennium

As part of the Millennium Celebration, the anthem "Celebrate the Future Hand in Hand" was produced in several musical genres including Country, Latin, Pop & Gospel.
I thought I had all of them until I discovered this somewhat forgotten variation as part of a recently contributed archive of theme park music.

The following is the 2OOO "Techno" variation created for the New Year's Eve celebration held nightly on Pleasure Island.

Enjoy!

Westward... Ho?

Greetings, Fellow Futurists,

I'm nearing the end of a major relocation from a hostile situation into a much safer home—one that will let me pour even more energy into Epcot Legacy & JLH Omnimedia projects. But it's come at a steep cost: yesterday, the movers increased fees by 200%, leaving me more than $700 in the red. I need to close that gap in the next 72 hours.

If you're able, any donation at https://www.epcotlegacy.com/support in the next three days would make a real difference and help keep the archives, music, fonts, and future visions moving forward.

BONUS: Anyone who donates $65 or more before Tuesday will receive the complete "New World" Font Family (over $100 value) as soon as it's finished—including my full vectorized set of Epcot attraction and pavilion logos!

Thank you for being part of this legacy.

The 4th Round of items are now up for auction to help fund my relocation.
Lots of very well-preserved pieces from my vintage apparel archive in various sizes!

A Music Purists Paradise
The Official ^Instrumental^ Album of EPCOT Center

Our 15th-anniversary celebration kicks into high gear with this unique tribute to the park's musical repertoire.

Inspired by the once frequent and highly treasured Official Albums of the parks, The Official ^Instrumental^ Album of EPCOT Center, utilizes the latest AI* audio separation models to present, for the first time ever, these classics in purely instrumental form, accompanied by many once-commercially released medleys and augmented by several that should have been.

*AI with considerable manual (aka human) efforts to remove AI artifacts, remove volume “ducking”, and enhancement to adjust for the loss of EQ.
