Album Notes & Community Reviews
A wonderfully surreal tribute album orchestrated by Hal Willner, featuring an eclectic array of artists reinterpreting classic Disney film music. The diverse roster includes everyone from Sun Ra and Tom Waits to Sin茅ad O'Connor, resulting in interpretations that range from avant-garde jazz to dark cabaret. The project transforms familiar childhood melodies into complex, occasionally ominous pieces of alternative art pop.
