Playlist Echo Lake

[thx99]

At long last, I have completed the reconstruction of area music loop for Echo Lake/Indiana Jones Stunt Spectacular.

As with the previous Disney music loop reconstructions I have done, the exact CD recordings heard in the original loop were ID'ed and used, and the edits were recreated (for better or worse) to the best of my ability.

 

[Horizons]

What other reconstructions have you done?

 

[thx99]

I just wanted to thank you all for posting this; you don't know how little information there is about this area music. The question I had for anybody out there was if they knew the track list for the area at MGM from the Indiana Jones store over to Star Tours? Some of the music is similar to the Echo Lake loop, but there are some differences too (off the top of my head, I know one of them is March of the Slave Children from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom). So, I was wondering if anybody knew where I could find this info?

Having just reconstructed the loop with the source CDs (and having read the other posters' comments about not hearing anything different in this area of the park), I think that the loop you're referring to and the Echo Lake/IJ Stunt Spectacular loop are one in the same.

Regarding the "March of the Slave Children", a reprise of it is featured in the "End Credits" from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, which just so happens to be included in the EL/IJSS loop.

What other reconstructions have you done?

The other two I've done are:

Soarin' Over California queue loop
Condor Flats area music loop

And I assisted a friend with Soarin' (EPCOT).

Ok, so I was curious to compare your reconstruction, which is 55:38, against the recording I made in front of Sounds Dangerous, to see if the music was different over there. I haven't compared the two, but when I sequenced my recording to start where your reconstruction starts, my loop is almost 2 minutes longer (57:25). Can the two be different as robnshell18 suggested?

I need to dig out my other Echo Lake recording, the one I did closer to the lake.

Hmm... good question. The reference recording I used is 55:05, but it is slightly off-speed (too fast, which shortened it). I'd be curious to know how the 57:25 version differs.

I did a very quick review of my induction recording compared to your reconstruction. First, it seems your reconstruction is running close to 30 seconds faster than my two induction recordings. Everything else seemed to match up, track wise, until the end. I have one extra song in my recording. I am attaching a link which is the last 3 minutes of my recording. The first 40 seconds should correspond to the end of your reconstruction. The extra track starts at the 40 second mark and is 2:21 long.

Thanks for the clip, @Horizons! Anyone know off-hand what the clip starting at around 41 seconds is from? It has hints of Jurassic Park and Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, but I don't believe it's either. Possibly Jurassic Park III?

Once I hunt it down, I'll add it to my reconstruction and update the mp3.

 

[Horizons]

My two induction recordings both have this song. One was recorded by Sounds Dangerous and the other, if I remember correctly, in front of the IJ attraction. I am curious now if the same loop plays around the lake, closer to the front of the park. One would think the area music would be the same and, perhaps, the song in question was just a recent add to the loop.

 

[WDWGuy08]

if you are referring to the strings at :41 in the clip horizons posted it is war of the worlds by john williams the intersection scene

 

[Horizons]

Is the "War of the Worlds" the ending song then, starting from 0:41 to the end of the clip?

 

[WDWGuy08]

yes

 

[Horizons]

I am surprised you knew that @WDWGuy08, considering it wasn't scored by Bruce Broughton.

lol hey just cause i like broughton' music a lot, doesn't mean i don't like others' music, too. hehe. i like brian tyler, john williams, trevor rabin, jerry goldsmith, alan silvestri, hans zimmer, john debney, richard bellis, etc....

Have you considered petitions and websites for these individuals as well? You wouldn't want them to have Broughton envy.

 

[almandot]

I'd be extremely careful what you say. Broughton does not play second fiddle and if you start seeing other composers he might do something scary.

 

[thx99]

Not to bring this thread back on topic or anything (cough, cough)...

But thanks to @Horizons and @WDWGuy08 for the information regarding the extended ending, I have created a second version of the loop, featuring the War of the Worlds segment.

 

[wedroy1923]

@thx99: thank you!

 

[mmmfan]

Thanks for this loop. Great job!

 

[thx99]

My pleasure, @wedroy1923 and @mmmfan, and a belated "you're welcome" to @Horizons!

It's a blast (and a challenge) reconstructing these loops. I admire and give credit to the person(s) that put these together in the first place for Disney, especially for the Echo Lake and Soarin' (EPCOT) loops. They're clearly my favorites!
