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!

Greeting Fellow Futurists,

Over the past several months, I've been experiencing a major personal transformation that has demanded immense time, energy, and brainpower. As a result, I'm relocating across the country for the safety and stability of myself and my family as soon as I'm financially able.

Your increased support during this time would make a huge difference in my life and those of several others.

If (and only if) you're able, please consider:

• Upgrading your Locals subscription to annual (with 3 months free!)
• Making a one-time or recurring donation at
https://www.epcotlegacy.com/support
• Purchasing any of E82's products in the Centorium souvenir shop.

Post-relocation, this would allow me to add rocket fuel to this project and many others you'd greatly enjoy—one of which starts this Wednesday with a new weekly Supporter-Only Series!

Any help would be greatly appreciated during this critical time, the end of which will be a ...

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.

Welcome to E82's Legacy Lounge
Greetings, Fellow Futurist,

Thank you so much for your support and for becoming a member of E82's Legacy Lounge.  

Decades before construction, Walt Disney and his Imagineers knew that, whatever form it would take, EPCOT, in all its vastness, could not exist without the technological and financial assistance of “American Free Enterprise”. Without the intrepid leaders of AT&T, GM, Kodak, GE, MetLife, and several others, EPCOT Center simply would not exist.

In gratitude for their support, each pavilion’s design included a luxurious VIP Lounge for their sponsors' employees. These lounges included special amenities, fascinating architecture, backdoor attraction access, and often spectacular views of the park their company helped to create.

E82 is unique among Locals platform creators, so here's an overview of all VIP Lounge offerings.

Head over to the Content Tab to access all your exclusives:
  • In VIDEOS, view Supporter Only exclusives like the full-length versions of Raw Wednesdays. 
  • In PODCASTS, hear rare selections and restorations from the JLH Audio Archives — often years before the public. And some are forever exclusive to the Legacy Lounge.
  • In PDFs, find rare documents and scanned ephemera from the Florida Project's foundations and beyond.
  • In ARTICLES, discover top E82 supporter perks: exclusive Concept Art exhibits, behind-the-scenes glimpses into upcoming projects, and premiere access to latest Music releases weeks to months before the public, with superior CD-quality downloads not streamed on the main site.        

While there is already much to see, showcasing The Epcot Legacy is always in a state of becoming, and with your support, E82 will continue to entertain, inform, and inspire for generations to come. 

See You in the Future, 
        — Joshua

Global Neighorhood by Albert Yu 1992

If you're on a free account, upgrade to paid supporter today — not just to unlock these exclusives, but to allow me to keep restoring, refining, and releasing even more rarities from my vast archives for you and the world. There is so much more to share.
