Christmas in Progress City

Taking its cue from the beautifully mid-century modern aesthetics and music of the 1967 version of General Electric's Carousel of Progress that culminates in a Christmas scene set on the outskirts of Walt Disney's E.P.C.O.T. called "Progress City", this musical compilation endeavors to create an atmosphere of period-appropriate holiday music that one might have heard playing in "Mother & Father's" home before a theater of eager GE customers unceremoniously rotates into their living room. Using the original Progressland score orchestrated masterfully by Buddy Baker as a template, each song has been selected to closely resemble the idealistic tone of the attraction within the most optimistic time of the year!

So dim the lights, as we turn on Father's Hi-Fi and spend Christmas in Progress City...

The Stars of Winter

From 1994 to 2009, the Lights of Winter served as a centerpiece of the annual “Epcot – Holidays Around the World” event. With its 30,000 synchronized lights and inspiring music, the display perfectly bridged the gap between the technological and traditional Worlds of Epcot. Many a night during early December, you would find me sitting under the archway or by the Fountain of Nations absorbing the almost spiritual splendor of this most transfixing of experiences.
The “Stars of Winter” pays tribute to the original Lights by ascending them into the heavens to become an entire constellation encircling a dormant Spaceship Earth.

But Wait There’s More! “The Art of E82” increases dramatically with an unprecedented collection that allows YOU to choose your favorite phase of the Show, beginning next week!
