RIGHT MIGHT is a excerpt from our new double album Its All In Your Head, coming out in October, and is a goofy riff on imperialism, minimalism, war mongering, and intolerance. But what, you might be wondering, is the origin of the found sound voices used to make it? Years ago, Negativland was contacted by an insider at the Disney corporation who had access to the entire audio archives of Disneyland and Disney World. He was a fan of our work, and asked us if we wanted anything from the Disney audio archive. Hell, yes! we replied. Send along anything from Disney attractions that are long gone, or any audio out-takes, bloopers, background sounds, music cues, etc. Soon, Negativland received a custom-made set of almost 100 CD-Rs, an unbelievable treasure trove of great material – all completely unheard by the outside world – for Negativland to pick from. One of the tracks was the raw and un-edited recording sessions for Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, an attraction that Disney first opened in 1964 at the New York Worlds Fair, and was later moved to Main Street in Disneyland in 1965. Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln famously became known as the worlds first Audio-Animatronic robot, and what Negativland had on its hands was a recording of actor Royal Dano, the voice talent for the Lincoln robot, heard being directed and cued by the producer of the recording session for the attraction. Negativland took that never-meant-to-be-heard session and severely re-edited it into what you now hear on RIGHT MIGHT. avclub/article/listen-new-negativland-track-featuring-old-disney--209134
