Who’s adding this one to their collection? 🎶✨
Disc one collects EPCOT Center originals
The first record includes the Future World Main Entrance Medley, “Energy (You Make the World Go 'Round),” “The Computer Song,” an extended “Magic Journeys,” “Canada (You're a Lifetime Journey),” “New Horizons,” “Universe of Energy,” “Listen to the Land,” “One Little Spark,” “It's Fun to Be Free,” “Makin' Memories,” the Kitchen Kabaret Medley and the 1983 jazz version of “It's Fun to Be Free.”
Disc two reaches Cosmic Rewind and Luminous
The second record moves to Pinar Toprak's EPCOT Suite, Test Track's “Opening,” “Soarin' Around the World,” “Xandar Gallery” from Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, the ride-through mix from Remy's Ratatouille Adventure, Journey of Water's “Where You Are,” pavilion arrangements of “Reflection” and “Remember Me,” and “Heartbeat Symphony” from Luminous: The Symphony of Us. Walt Disney discussing EPCOT closes the side.
The vinyl set opens preorders at D23
The set takes inspiration from the 1983 Official Album of Walt Disney World EPCOT Center. Its cover uses a nighttime Spaceship Earth image while the record labels carry matching geometric artwork.
A recording of Walt Disney discussing EPCOT is also included. That places the park's original planning idea beside music from attractions that opened decades later, a broad sweep for two pieces of vinyl.
Disney Music has not announced a general online preorder page or price. For now, the first announced order window is on the D23 show floor.
