Greetings Film Fans! 

As we approach the 35th anniversary of the Disney•MGM Studios, there's a lot of ground (or should I say notes) to cover. 
Today we begin the countdown with a "double feature" of new additions to the Studios Soundtrack Series ranging from the intimate to the epic!

Per the usual, both of these atmospheres were painstakingly reconstructed from the originals with enhanced noise removal creating the clearest sound in existence and meticulously created cover art. In particular, Sid Cahuenga's One-of-a-Kind required the careful restoration of 40 classic themes (often 80+ years old) and the manual removal of 4,300 clicks for the best listening experience possible.

Here are the results:

Grand Fiesta Films!

E82 celebrates #CincoDeMayo by premiering several source films from Mexico's "Grand Fiesta Tour" starring The Three Caballeros!

After years of having the visuals, I recently received the source soundtrack to finally marry sight & sound together.

Moonlighting at the Vacation Kingdom

In honor of Moonlighting's premiere 40 years ago tonight, here's my popular 2021 "commercial" inspired by the show's opening titles!

"Evoking the sophisticated delights of Walt Disney World during its adolescence, "Moonlighting at The Vacation Kingdom" (set in 1989) showcases the once more mature and most magical place on Earth."

This kingdom is worth saving. #SaveMagicKingdom

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!

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.

This fast-paced 2+ hour journey contains several spoilers from future releases making their debut this year so (unlike most) this album will experience an extended preview for supporters only until October!
