Yeah, similar here. In the first years, photos were more of the most obvious parts of the park, and we never thought to take pictures or video of too many of the details which would start disappearing soon after. I did start audio recordings in 1998 (on my dad's DAT, later on MiniDisc) but I...

I guess I was too young to have paid enough attention to those details... Take Me Out to the Ballgame does seem to ring a bell in connection with Casey's Corner, though. So does the Gibson Girl loop include any needledrop tracks at all? On another blog, Eddie noted that the loop's music was...

So, did you manage? :) I'll have to try and play it myself some time.

Aaand an hour after posting that I read Eddie Sotto commenting on the Gibson Girl loop on another forum. Apparently last week when he was in the park he recognized a particular track they recorded specifically for that loop ("The Gibson Bathing Girl") so if the two loops are identical it's...

Hmm… interesting. I'll admit that it crossed my mind ("why didn't they just make one loop?") but I hadn't actually gotten around to comparing them. I suppose that it's possible that Eddie misremembered after over 20 years but he did seem to have some record of the process. I'll have to see if I...

Heh, well, that's the term Eddie Sotto used. It's a music loop that wouldn't feel too out of place in Frontierland and includes "Battle Cry of Freedom" as heard on the Disneyland box set.

Eddie Sotto once mentioned in an interview that his Main Street USA featured 11 channels of background music. They're all individual loops, many of which play in more than one place. Thanks to Eddie, Eyore's blog on this site and a few personal visits I believe that I've finally figured out how...

Great, thanks!!

Well, seeing that Lilly's used to be part of Walt's, it's likely that they still share the same loop; I imagine they wouldn't even have separate audio channels. From my notes, Harrington's shares the Plaza Gardens loop while Disney & Co. and Boardwalk Candy Palace both play organ music but I'm...

Hey all. I'm writing this on the off-chance that anyone might have any idea how I could identify this track. There's a certain piece of music which was used for at least a decade in the DLP hotel TV loop, usually when showing the resort hotels. It's a light orchestral piece mostly played on...

Yep. It was just a random name to put on the CD cover. Like I said, the tracks were released under many names.

No, they're the right tracks. I couldn't vouch for the fact that they're 100% synthesized but they do make heavy use of synth at the very least. As someone who's done a lot of synth arrangement since the mid-90s I'm rather sure of that. And "Ned Nash Orchestra" is just one of many names under...

No, I mean the main Thunder Mesa loop. Several of the movie themes are synthesized rather than recorded by actual orchestras. This has been the case since at least the late 1990s. Specifically, they're tracks 1, 2, 3, 8, 12, 13 and 23. Those same tracks have been released on countless cheap...

This is a little OT but it actually looks like the DLP Frontierland loop was changed some time after opening. Many original score tracks were replaced by Synth versions at that time so there may have been other changes as well.

Well, it looks like the new loop has been added to DLP! According to French forum posts, they're currently using the new loop in the morning and are keeping the old PM loop in the afternoon.

Eyore's blog post is here: Main Street USA DLRP I think it's worth noting that this loop was originally the AM loop. I don't remember when they were switched (around 2004?) but the Imagineers' idea was that there was to be a calmer, welcoming loop in the morning (this one) and a more energetic...

It's definitely less energetic. But I think that works well in the context of DL's tranquil small town Main Street. I'm not sure if it would fit as well into WDW's and especially DLP's Main Street.

The Disney Parks Blog has posted two short samples: The New Sounds of Main Street, U.S.A., at Disneyland Park

I really don't feel they have to refer a previous Disney project. Personally I don't need to hear the Mickey Mouse Club March on Main Street; I'd much rather hear music from other sources which helps convey the proper sense of place without distracting from the experience. That to me is much...
