Test Track Triptych

An archivist's work is never done.
While preparing to share some assets with DreamfinderGuy (Twitter/X) for an upcoming article he's writing about GM's transportation pavilion, I came across this vibrant (new-to-me) triptych created by automotive artist Tony Warren to celebrate the (notoriously delayed) opening of Test Track in 1999. A large-scale version of this hung in the GM VIP Lounge until its transformation into SimTrack in 2012.

It actually makes the original attraction look interesting and futuristic! (lol)

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!

Music or Merchandise?

It's really your call.
Without going into spoiler territory, a few breakthroughs have occurred over the last week and several albums that have been on hold for years can now proceed.
I'd love to start work on them immediately, but albums don't pay to keep the lights on at E82 HQ, which means devoting more time to designing merchandise for Centorium.
If able, I would greatly appreciate any additional support you can provide this week so I can get these treasures out to you as quickly as possible.

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!
