That music BEFORE Illuminations

[christine]

Anyone know what music is being played around the World Showcase before
Illumations starts? I believe it's new this year, we don't remember it
from before. It started right at 8:30, when the torches were lit and
the first Illuminations announcement was made. It sounded like a world
music-house-dance-techno compilation of some sort (if you're familiar
with the Buddha Bar series, it sort of sounded like that). We asked
several cast members and no one had a clue.

You are correct, the preshow music changed at some point last year.
Here's the previous list:

1 They Were Dancing Barefoot Yehuda Poliker
2 Superwasp/Along The Coast Of Norway/Neckbuster SeelyhooScotland
3 Native Funk Burning Sky
4 Flute Battle Cusco
5 The Concertina Set Bùrach
6 Imeland Groupa
7 Montezuma Cusco
8 30-års Jiggen (Thirty-Year Jig) Väsen
9 Inca Dance Cusco
10 Appalachian Morning John Williams & The Boston Pops

Here is the current list:

1 Jalan Kopo Sabah Habas Mustapha
2 Falling Through a Cloud by Uttara-Kuru
3 Busindre Reel Hevia
4 Gaviotes Hevia
5 Tula Cusco
6 Our Lfie by Utarra-Kuru
7 Bear Hedningarna
8 Red Skies Omar Faruk
9 Texas Wimme

Bring back the old pre-show music! Personally, I think it conveyed the World
Showcase theme better. And I think it builds better "celebration" energy
before the show. The newer one just doesn't work as well.

I agree. I've been listening to the new tracks for the last few days,
and am not quite as thrilled with the new set as I was with the old.
Granted, I've only heard the new songs in the park once, but still...
