Yep!I noticed that on my last trip!Such a shame for a Disney Icon not to have it's BGM working.
I wonder what is wrong with that...All the other ones around the park were on full blast!:lol:

I noticed this last month too, there was no outside BMG. Why such an audio problem inside and out?

Not sure at all, could be that someone foregets to flick the switch in the morning :lol:
I have heard it play one day, the following not but then working again later in the evening only for the following day to be not working.
Just no consistency.

I just hope it get's fixed.
I did not say Tomorrows Child was bad. What I meant was if the Tomorrows Child music was not there the ending would have collapsed so the 94 version was a better ending because in 86 the song made the ending.

Personally, I think it would be cool if they had renditions of the classic EPCOT Center music from each pavilion as the area BGM for it's modern counterpart, ala The Land. Have a new instrumental loop at Spaceship Earth integrating Tomorrow's Child, selections from the Irons version, and of the new score. Develop BGM using Energy (You Make the World Go 'Round), Universe of Energy, and the current Ellen's Energy Adventure theme. Fold the original Horizons area music into the existing Mission: SPACE loop. It's already a crime that the beautiful Space theme from Horizons is absent from the pavilion of its namesake! Music is missing entirely at Test Track, get It's Fun to Be Free going around there, even have that noise in the queue thumping to the theme. The Living Seas themes were quite serene and still very appropriate for the exterior.
I do find it kinda interesting that the triangles are an homage to the Tomorrows Childs ending. Then again I wish they improved on the 94 ending rather than bring back elements from the 86 ending. Is that the Vic Perrin version audio at the beginning of Martin's video?

I TOTALLY and COMPLETELY agree.I have often had the same thought...If Disney can keep anything retro in the parks it could easily be the music.
At least we can still hear most of the 80's tracks in the 25th Anniversary Gallery...Which really should stay open.

Yep to Vic Perrin.
As for your SSE idea...What would be perfect would be to have the Triangle screens,TC playing,and Glitter City back and made to look like the one on your touch screen....You could even bring back the tiny SSE model as you pass that practically when your video ends and you see SSE on screen.
THAT'S the ULTIMATE Spaceship Earth.

I hope it does stay open, everytime I go in or walk by there are always people inside looking around, listening and smiling.

Yep.
It's supposed to close up on the 31st of Dec.

Ahh we have to see, I will be in Epcot on new years eve and new years day, maybe I will have to stand in front of the doors until they throw away the keys and keep it open.
It's funny you should bring that up because I already have a music loop figured out for version 5 once I am in WDI. By the way my Descent is going to be great.

It would have been nice if the Horizons Space theme had been implemented into the 180 top of SSE!!! I know it was a Horizons score but it was a beautiful peice of grand music that for some reason I can just hear in my head as fitting into the top of SSE. Whats in there now can just not be heard enough and its quite weak musically anyway.

Before Merf was killed off the wdwmagic show, he videotaped the SSE decent in March 2007 and posted the video online. There has been more progress made in the decent than what his video shows.
Here is a link to it http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQblM-43rxA
Now I am not using the youtube version, I'm using a quicktime version thats brighter so I can see more than what the youtube version shows.
Points of interest:
Opening shot is of the then newly installed and wdwmagic dubbed "angler bulbs" strings of blue lights not there in december that humoursely reminded us of the angler fish. This is the scene right past the worm tunnel of infinite blue lights. Basically the lights slightly go on into this scene and quickly "fade" away. This scene is where the gas clouds scene was in the 1994 version.
When I saw this scene in January 07, there were no blue bulbs, and all there was was some thin stretched out and stapled black star curtains.
By the 12th second of the film we are heading down where the old pepper's ghost effect was, where we saw people talking on videophones. There were star curtains in this scene as well, but they seem to be turned off when Merf filmed the ride in March 07. Perhaps the Milky Way didn't pay it's electricity bill?
At 1:09 in my quicktime version (very hard to see in the youtube version) we see a pattern of blue triangles however Merf is already in the area just about to pass where the floating model of SSE used to be. He has his lens zoomed to where this blue triangle is. He zooms out to reveal a weird pattern of blue triangles. These blue triangles are where glitter city used to be. He did take a flash photo of this location at some point, and revealed all of glitter city gone, all the way to the soundproof panneled walls, and these triangles installed in its place.
From then on Merf pans around the final corridor, once home to a floating SSE model and fiber optics, and as of March 07 home to blue triangles above everyone (More were later installed) and at the very end some twinkling blue and white lights.
