I like it. One of the best parts of the EPCOT redo.

The problem with that loop is that it just doesn't give you that futuristic feeling of the area. It's a shame that the neighborhoods don't have their own distinct loop..Oh no! I meant they were talking about releasing the new pinar loop on streaming didnt they?
So sorry for getting somes hopes up and or confusion

I just find it repetitive. I wish it had classic Epcot themes woven throughout as was previously the case.

I like the songs. I just wish we got a better Epcot redo in general, and hope the ship can be righted in the future somehow, in some form.

I had not listened to the new loops at all. Now, I just listened to the first five minutes, then I skipped ahead ten minutes, then another ten minutes, and it was literally almost exactly the same thing over and over and over again. This is a big
in my opinion. The theme is nice, but anything would get tiresome after fifteen minutes on repeat, let alone an hour.
It’s a fine score… for a city aquarium or museum. I’m not a fan of it at all.

Isn’t city aquarium/museum the exact vibe that epcot purists want, though??
Jokes aside, I’m not sure I know of any museums or aquariums with any scores besides Monterey Bay, which honestly has an incredible score.

The melody is gorgeous, I just wish it was more than the one single theme for nearly 2 hours.
Especially with Future World having such a dynamic and diverse history of background music, I wish it was interspersed with different musical motifs (either by Pinar or from existing/past attractions).
--I genuinely am thrilled that the melody is incorporated into Luminous. It hearkens back to the cohesiveness of old EPCOT---
Speaking of Pinar....
The EPCOT Anthem with her overplayed riffs is one of the three SSE shows now. The other two are Muppets singing "Rainbow Connection" and the original "Imagination" song. Don't know if this will change for Flower and Garden.
Good news is that the interstitial BGM, though still based on Pinar's theme are much improved. It's not the same two riffs over and over again. They're there, but as a light touch. Makes hanging out in the hub much nicer.
Other good news, the floor-lighting is working at about 95%. There are sill some sections that don't light up... sometimes. And some small sections or even individual LED bulbs with the wrong color... sometimes. The weird thing is that these sections and bulbs work perfectly in some shows, but not others.
All the other lights in the area are syncing nicely. The trees with the LED tweaking out on acid are working properly.
In other sorta nice news: The wedding DJ's music has been toned down, mostly pointing away from the hub. Still makes the area between the hub and dance party awful to hang out in since you hear both sets of music at the same time. However, if one hangs out closer to Connections... you'll only hear the hub music. Still need to localize the DJ. Or fire him.

Future World is dead. The area is now "World Celebration" with no futuristic theming. LEDs are now, not the future.

Has a recording of this been uploaded anywhere?
Not that I know of... but haven't searched for it.

It annoys me that a park with such a rich musical heritage got a background loop that’s just the same melody over and over and over again. It wouldn’t upset me as much if it were confined to the CommuniCore area, but they’ve gone out of their way to replace the unique area loops for the entrance plaza and Imagination (& previously The Land) too. Replace the Innoventions loop, sure, but taking out other loops for areas that still exist is extremely excessive.I had not listened to the new loops at all. Now, I just listened to the first five minutes, then I skipped ahead ten minutes, then another ten minutes, and it was literally almost exactly the same thing over and over and over again.

Which makes me concerned if there will be an exterior Pavillion loop for Test Track 3.0..

I agree. I dislike that such a vivid musical identity has been stripped away over the years. It’s in the rides too! Even in the classics that remain, Tomorrow’s child and Listen to the Land have not played for YEARS now. Yeah, we do still have “Golden Dream” and “One Little Spark”, but we all know about figment at this point. (Tho American Adventure is very underrated imo). We all have hope for “it’s fun to be free” but I think the other classic Epcot rides should get their songs back. Put the music back into Spaceship Earth and The Land! That’d be a good step towards rebuilding Epcot.

At least they still make new, original area music here. I like Mission: Space’s music a great deal and enjoyed TT2.0’s.

Yeah. Even the topek loop, with how repetitive it can be, is beautiful music wise to me. It seems to me that even when they actively or unintentionally try to, they can’t fully make Epcot bad or get rid of that identity, even if it is a shell. Though they were sure close with some parts of the original redo. Honestly, I think the COVID cancellations could’ve been a long term blessing in disguise for Epcot. I think still now, there are people in WDI who know what Epcot is and should be that are held back by executives in some form. Maybe not everyone but SOME. I hope test track will be a step in the right direction in the future with SSE, Figment, and beyond.
