Like, I won't deny they sound nice. It's just...I guess I had better expectations since the DHS loop was the most recently updated one. They couldn't even re-work One Little Spark into it anywhere.

It's pure background noise. Not something that will annoy me, but not something I will ever enjoy listening to.

Yea, I agree overall I am disappointed (now I haven’t heard it in full yet) but it really needs those EPCOT themes that just ooze character. I am not saying the old loop was perfect, it was starting to show it’s age but why not incorporate EPCOT music into a...EPCOT entrance loop?
Maybe it will sound great once I hear it in full but not sure.

The BGM is objectively lovely and perfectly fitting for the park and I am happy there is no Disney music in there. It is intelligent, curious, and grand.....just the right tones for the park. Just wish there was a bit more pure "Epcot" here. Now I'll try to be optimistic moving forward with it!

Sounds great, but I am still extremely disappointed that there's no attraction themes in there. Heck, I just need One Little Spark and Golden Dream and I'm good. This just seems like a big wasted opportunity to bridge the three eras of this park together. But I realize that 99% of guests won't even notice this change.

Definitely sounds better then I would of had thought. It’s got that EPCOT feel to it, I really wish it had those EPCOT themes though. It’s not bad, but some themes would elevate it.

I really was hoping for an original score. ....Don't come at me with pitchforks guys.... But this is the serious tone I've wanted for the entrance for awhile. I loved Steven Price's work on Awesome Planet and I'm stoked he's included.

If you’re that desperate take a seat in the restroom on either side of SSE. BTW, I’m in Epcot today so get to experience all the new sights and sounds.

This definitely matches the "more cinematic approach" to the entrance I've always been told about. Can anyone on the ground tell if the new speakers are already in use for this BGM?
Yes the new speakers are in use. Bit more on that at https://www.wdwmagic.com/attraction...t-main-entrance-gets-new-background-music.htm

My first impression is that I really liked it. It does seem to have that grand "Epcot" feel to me. I agree that it would be nice to have a few classic Epcot themes mixed in. I'm not t he most musically knowledgable person around, so I'm not familiar with any of these themes, but I believe that they are not original, and that does bother me a bit. Epcot deserves new, original music, with a dash of its own classic themes.
But as I said, I like it.
