Captain EO Entrance Music

This is not entirely accurate. Unfortunately the entrance music is not available to the public in any form. There is a section missing but for now this will have to do.

Music composed by James Horner.

James Horner produced the orchestral music during the movie. Richard Bellis produced the pre-show and area music.

@labanex Bellis said: "I did a preshow for Captain E.O. once that was kind of fun." - True. However I don't think that's referring to this piece of music which is neither pre-show or "area" music (I think "pre-show and area music" are the same thing in that regard). The entrance music actually blends right into the movie score once the show begins. Also, anybody who's followed Horner's career, especially in the 80's, knows this piece is VERY typical of Horner, even today.

@nightwishorchestral1 ... ... However, a full soundtrack is in the works to include both Michael Jackson songs, Bellis' music in the preshow, and the James Horner's score. I hope it includes the entrance music as well. I would buy the CD in a heartbeat.

@labanex That's awesome news! Is that something that's been formally announced on a website? Because the entrance music blends into the orchestral score (which is clearer in the other video I posted of the full entrance score) I can't imagine why it wouldn't be included. But just to have a clean, clear, stereo recording of it would be a dream-come-true!

@nightwishorchestral1 This is a direct response from Richard Bellis: "I am sadly not the composer of this music. All of my music plays outside including the film on the "making of..." It also periodically plays the countdown clock music.

thank you for posting. starting from 2:34 the segment loops about 8 times. so i guess this is not complete either. i love this spheric "music". btw tchaikowsky created something similiar for his romeo&juliet suite.

@mbalgavy James Horner is really good at this kind of cosmic, almost "new age" style music. If you listen to certain parts of his score for Cocoon, Bicentennial Man, A Beautiful Mind or more recently The Spiderwick Chronicles you can hear music very similar to this.

man it's been 20 years since i seen Captain EO i was 14 in 1991 and i went with my family to see it at Disneyland . and 20 years later i can still clearly remember this Entrances Music as if it was yesterday . it has a Creepy cool Space age sound to it kinda sounds like the Music from Flight of the Navigator . old Memorys .

@nightwishorchestral1 I mistake what was said about pre-show music with the entrance music. I wrote Bellis and he stated that he created the music on the television monitors in the preshow and the area music. I wrote Horner and have not written back. Bellis stated that the music is Disney's property and even though he wrote the music, Disney is being a little tight on releasing it. He does not have any control over that.

Thanks for posting this. I love standing in line for Captain EO listening to this as much as I enjoy the show. LoL I have my Bose in ear head phones in and the sound cranked all the way up. I am probably hurting my hearing but I just can't help it.
