Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Though it's neither as comprehensive nor as elegantly presented as The Music of Disney: A Legacy in Song, this compilation is an enjoyable sampler of music from Disneyland and Walt Disney World. Naturally, the music's good for reliving memories of the parks, but when listened to at home, the best selections reveal previously unnoticed complexity. The oldest recordings, like "The Tiki Tiki Room" and "Grim Grinning Ghosts" (from the Haunted Mansion ride), are seamless show tunes that grapple inventively with the limitations of analog and mono. And the Main Street Electrical Parade theme song is a freaked-out Moog marathon that must be heard to be believed. This disc offers one of the best uses yet for your CD player's "program" function--pick out the songs like you'd pick out a ride, and never wait in line! --John Sanchez

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Disney CD, March 10, 2003

By	D. Allen "meeko_2003" (Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Official Album: Disneyland/Walt Disney World (Audio CD)

This is a great album for any Disney fan to have. The CD features a variety of brief excerpts from the musical loops of beloved attractions from Disneyland and Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom such as "The Haunted Mansion", "Pirates of the Caribbean", and "Splash Mountain". It also includes music from a few of Disney's famous nighttime spectaculars including "Fantasmic", the "Main Street Electrical Parade", and "Illuminations". One highlight of the CD is the entire musical loop from the Disneyland Night Parade "Light Magic". While the parade proved to be unpopular and only ran for about a year, the music is great, mixing classic Disney songs such as "Be Our Guest" and "Step In Time" with Irish step dancing music a la Riverdance. While I would recommend either the official album for Disneyland and official album for Walt Disney World that is sold exclusively at the parks before recommending this one, I do think this is a great album as well and defiantly worth purchasing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the Purchase Simply for the Light Magic Music!, August 6, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Official Album: Disneyland/Walt Disney World (Audio CD)

After all the bad press the Disney show "Light Magic" received, one would think the music had something to with this. Nothing could be further from the truth. I personally feel that it is the best collection of songs Disney has ever put their name on. Unfortunatly it can't be heard through the awesome sound setup Disney designed for the attraction any more. Seeing "Light Magic" over 5 times the only summer it was at Disneyland, I can't even tell you what it was about or what even went on...I was simply blow away by the quality of the music Bruce Healey produced in this show to pay any attention to the show. Although all the tracks are great, this CD is a must have simply because you will get some of the greatest music that you will ever here and might never be able to get again. Trust me.

5.0 out of 5 stars It takes you to Disneyland!, June 11, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Official Album: Disneyland/Walt Disney World (Audio CD)

This is an excellent CD! I have it and listen to it alot! I wish that the songs from the rides were longer, but it will make you appreciate Disneyland more when you get to hear the whole song. It's a Small world and the Tiki Tiki Tiki room are awesome! I think it will be a great additon to your music selection. Buy it, you won't regret it!
