Best Pre-show Illuminations Music

[Cmdr_Crimson]

What's your favorite song in the Illuminations Pre-Show Music? I really like listening to this on my mp3 player but of all of the choices. I have to go with Hevia's Busindre Reel...Hearing the diggery doo's low base at the beginning gets me goosebumps.
The song is just awesome http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFRDT2dvBbc

Ah,me too!This one really sets the Epcot/IllumiNations mood really well.

Ditto.. love that song.. its my fave out of all of em to. However.. all the preshow music makes me think I am in some weird euro nightclub ("ClubEPCOT", as I call it, as soon as the pre-show music starts). :lol::lookaroun. I like it though.

Very difficult decision. I really love Jalan Kopo right at the beginning when all of the torches light up. Texas is very good as well.
My vote goes to Busindre Reel.

Busindre Reel - Artist: Hevia from Spain is the option I have to pick, I was only listening to it all this morning

I prefer the old loop with "They were Dancing Barefoot" which is the first song as well as "American Morning" by John Williams that ended that loop.

I will have to go with Uttara-Kuru's Falling through a cloud. Every song is great but this one just really gets me moving.

Gotta go with Hevia-Busindre. Very cool and very international. But my all time favorite is Montezuma, which used to play before Illuminations. They changed it about a year ago and I miss it. Would love to know how to get my hands on it.

I liked Flute Battle from the original loop. I have always preferred that loop to the new one, but it's starting to grow on me.

 

[Kingdom WDW]

I like Flute Battle as well.

However, you failed to mention Appalachian Morning.

I like Flute Battle as well.

However, you failed to mention Appalachian Morning.

:brick: My apologies I should have added the 1st pre-show list as well.

 

[Kalikala]

Hevia for me, too!

 

[CThaddeus]

Flute Battle, followed closely by Montezuma.

Busindre Reel by Hevia comes first, closely followed by Nordic Roots' Texas.

 

[MagliteL13]

I used to like the Busindre Reel the most, but I started listening to a lot of Uttara-Karu and really like that stuff. They Were Dancing Barefoot is still one of my favorites though (and is a ringtone on my phone).

Where to buy online?

Hello,

I'd like to put together a full CD of just the preshow music. I looked at iTunes, but I see two issues:

1. Unless my iTunes isn't working correctly, these songs are only in 128 Kbps AAC. That, and DRM. I can't play them in Rockbox on my iPod or on other players, lame.

2. Not all songs are on iTunes.

Where can I get great legal downloads of these songs? 256 MP3 or better, or 256 AAC or better would be great. Or, why not straight wav download. I think the future of music online is looking pretty bad if people are going to get used to lossy audio.

I don't know the title, but the one that sounds like it has a meth-fueled bagpipes player. That one, and the track before it.

I believe if you check around the web (or dig further on this very site, maybe in the digital media forums) you can find your answer.
