(Tokyo Disneyland's current parade - music by the same composer/arranger as the new World of Color score) SpectroMagic (still gets me every time as Jiminy closes out the score) Soarin' (just beautiful - one of Jerry Goldsmith's best) Eureka - Come Away With Me (DCA's first parade and a wonderful score by Bruce Healey and Sunny Hilden) I also tend to listen to both LuminAria and Light Magic frequently. I must admit that I can't listen to ride-thrus - I just find them too distracting particularly with the sound effects. I prefer either cut-downs or individual songs.

Maybe it just brings back happy memories from '05 but I love it.

Mark has an incredible way of making familiar music sound fresh and new. I was at the Abbey Road recordings for WoC and the score is just beautiful. Check out his score for Jubilation! if you want a better understanding of how Mark works.

Hopefully that'll be the next incarnation of IllumiNations...equally water, pyro, and lights, like they originally intended for it.

OLC certainly knows whatbthey are doing. One of my favorites. Thanks for the link, Lindsay.
