This is pretty good, I still want the full version of the piece they put into Epcot Forever.

So much great original music was created for the classic EPCOT CENTER... It was a golden age for the discerning theme park fan that won't come again. Glad I got to experience it at just the right moment.

Dang, I never got to experience the ride Horizons from Epcot, I'm pretty young (as you can see from my profile). I'm glad YouTube exists so that I can watch videos of the ride (although I'm not sure how much longer I will be able to find those videos because of COPPA).
Nd it was all music exclusive to Epcot. That’s incredible.

I am slowly turning towards gratitude as my overriding sentiment too.
Twenty years of frustration and anger after the Epcotalypse. Forever hoping the tide will turn. But the current destruction of EPCOT feels final. EPCOT is dead. It's over. It's time to understand EPCOT as ephemeral. An event in time, not a place.
And just be grateful that I knew it. I knew it at a great age too, falling in love with it as an 11 year old as it was being built. The one thing I regret is that I didn't spend a bit more time in EPCOT as an adult, right before the Epcotalypse.
As to the subject of this thread, surely no theme park has ever had such an incredible score. So much atmospheric music, so many fantastic songs. Divine. EPCOT was a spiritual experience. It fed your soul.

I miss some of the old Epcot, not all. It has improved over the years, no arguement about that.
I’d love to have 1983 Future World East and West with 1994 Innoventions and Spaceships Earth and top it off with Millenium World Showcase.

Fun fact: this is actually the SECOND version of a Horizons theme.
The first was written by the Sherman Brothers, but was rejected for the final ride....although it did make a brief appearance in the ride itself, and the instrumental version was still used in the courtyard.

That was probably the most level headed, common sense approach to the changes that has been posted here.

Have to question that... how does one get 78 hours of music into one 24 hour day? Is it Disney Magic?
Multiple locations with different music playing simultaneously. (eg the BGM changes when you move from Japan to France, France to UK, etc)Have to question that... how does one get 78 hours of music into one 24 hour day? Is it Disney Magic?
Break it down. One person would never hear all the music in one day. Area loops, load loops, ride music, show music.Have to question that... how does one get 78 hours of music into one 24 hour day? Is it Disney Magic?
Example; World of Motion had an exterior loop, a load loop, all the ride music loops, an unload loop, Bird and the Robot show, Water Engine show plus incidental music. Imagination had an exterior loop, an interior loop, all the ride music loops, an Imageworks loop, Makin’ Memories, Magic Journeys load, Magic Journeys show, fountain garden loop. The Land had an exterior loop, interior loop, Listen to the Land ride loops, Symbiosis load, Symbiosis, two Kitchen Kabaret load loops, Kitchen Kabaret show.....
There is no full version. What you hear is all that was recorded.

So they played 78 hours worth of music scattered about during the whole day, but, no one heard 78 hours of music in that one day. That wouldn't be possible. Don't they do that in all the parks everyday anyway? Not necessarily the same music but I have never been there when different lands didn't play different music continuously divided up by queue, preshow, show, exit and just area music specifically for the area you happen to be in!
Correct.

Most of itAnd you have all of it, in source quality, on an external hard drive, right?
Not even TWDC have the Energy BGM loop sadly.

Is there any record of that loop? Track list? Duration? Date recorded etc?
All I’ve got is around 20 seconds of a poor live recording. Which seems to be 20 seconds more than the company has.
Edit; a little more than 20 seconds:
