Feel the flow, here we go, through the Universe, the Universe, the Universe, Of Energy. Of Energy. It had that early 70's late 80's cheesy vibe. It told you were you were. Where you were going. What you would feel. You can sing along or clap to it. I think it is.

Originally Posted By DDMAN26 I like both but if I had to pick I would like take WoM with a few tweaks and updates.
Originally Posted By PotNoodle I liked "Listen to the Land" and "One Little Spark" as well. I really miss the SSE descent music in the Irons version. That was beautiful. It was grand and sweeping--very emotive.
Originally Posted By ChiMike I have to say, Fun to be Free, both the time period versions and the instrumentals, are high on my list.
Originally Posted By HokieSkipper <<Take it you are not into cars. I loved both.>> Nope, I love cars. But Test Track doesn't go deep enough into actual car stuff, and is a sterile, boring setting for a theme park attraction. World of Motion just never did it for me.
Originally Posted By ChiMike PotNoodle, great point out, while 1994, the Irons score is quite possibly some of the best EPCOT music out there. Same with the Broughton score for UoE. Too bad the same can't be said for his lame attempt to rescore SSE in 2007.

Originally Posted By leobloom Several of the Epcot songs, like 'Listen to the Land' and the Energy songs, didn't age very well. They sound like products of the late 70s/early 80s. If I hear 'Grim Grinning Ghosts' and 'Yo Ho' I don't associate the music with the late 60s. I like the Epcot music, but it doesn't have the same timeless quality of the best MK music.
