With the Disney•MGM Studio 35th anniversary less than a month away, I almost feel the need to inform/warn everyone this might as well be called "S89 | The Studios Legacy" for the next couple of months. 😄
With that said, here are the next two volumes in the Studios Soundtrack Series for your exclusive two-week preview!
In Epcot Chronology,
THE LIVING SEAS opened on this day in 1986.

To celebrate the Seas here's E82's "Sizzle Reel" recently Ai-upscaled (& manually enhanced) in FULL HD!!!
See over 10 minutes of raw B-Roll footage (also now in HD) and an entire ocean of Seabase Alpha content at the link above!
"TECHNOLOGY like a newfound potion allows us to marvel at mysteries of motion"
AI Upscaling (with manual enhancement and cleaning) will allow me to revisit several film restorations next year AND many more new ones...

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!
I've been a 24/7 Disney Historian for over 25 years and last night I saw THE GREATEST DISNEY HISTORY THESIS EVER MADE!

What it lacks in production value it more than makes up for in incredible insights & precise diagnosis of Disney's Iger-inflicted identity disorder.
If you ever wanted to hear me in a Rogan-style conversation this is it!
LOTS of topics are discussed including:
• Rivers of America
• Epic Dusters
• Tokyo Disneysea
• My HIGHLY unique views of you-know-who
• Disney's internal politics
• Eisner: Undiscovered
& MUCH more!
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!
As a reminder to all my wonderful supporters, the two-hour compilation "A Classic Disney Christmas" is available for your viewing pleasure this holiday season.
In thanks for your support here's an exclusive preview of a project I've been working on for the past several weeks.
10 years after my first reconstruction, "A Disney Halloween" has been reassembled once again only this time in full HD with vastly improved audio and many segments restored for the first time ever.
There's a great number of improvements I could list, but for now, let's let the footage speak for itself.
