      "with Tides of Time you immediately know, something's off." Most likely because it's a sequel so you know that they're going to try & up the ante whereas the first one had to give you something innocent just so that crazy portal event at the beginning would be more shocking.

    Open ocean is my biggest fear to this day because if this soundtrack and game. I'm so fascinated by all of the animals, but I have nightmares too.

      Maybe, but Sega is not only Sonic (wich i love, and grow up with) look at they other franchises, they do (AM2 in the old times) and they are doing really amazing jobs, Yakuza, Phantasy star online 2, Valkirya chronicles, the upcoming Sakura taisen, Shenmue 3, streets of rage IV or Panzer dragoon remake. SEGA is coming back and now is the time for some of his franchises to make a comeback.
      I would realy love to see the return of (first of all) Ecco, but also Vectorman, Ristar, Nights and a Phantasy Star offline with Alis Landale as the main char, all these games made with the proper love and dedication they deserve. And then a new Sonic adventure to put the cherry on the cake.

    I've probably listened to it a couple thousand times. I vividly remember watching this opening sequence for the first time. That chord progression is so haunting, unexpected, and beautiful. It was an impressionable surprise to me every measure through the song, and I had the melody memorized right away. This track was in the back of the mind for the decade it took to beat this game. I often didn't know how to progress, but this was always an earworm for me. Afterwards, it makes sense as the overture to the deep designs that are at play in this story.

    So we'll fish him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent dorado. A protective porpoise. A Dark Delfino.

    The Ecco The Dolphin series has always been one of my favorites since I was a kid. It has a great mix of difficulty, horror, sci-fi and wonderous storyline.

    I really RALLY HATE how people would always say that this game sucks or say "its gay" just because you're playing as a dolphin and then be biased againts the whole game and say everything about it sucks!!!
    Well #@&% them!!! This game's graphics, music, and story is AWESOME!!!

    Hard to believe that one dolphin could do so much for the planet. Makes you want to rethink buying tuna ever again, lol. Btw, I'm very glad to see the entire soundtrack for this game up on the Tube, its easily one of the best ever!

    I played this game to death when I was little. I just turned 30 this year and this theme STILL sends chills down my spine. I love this game so much, even if it didn't age all that well. ;w;

      @PhaetonDurendal 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I feel like it aged pretty well actually. I just beat it for the second time last night and I gotta say I just love it!!! The controls are hard, but once you get used to it it's pretty alright. It's a game that tests your skills. Lol

    This song is hands down one of the most brilliantly written video game songs, even my favorite ecco songs don't compete in terms of brilliance. (Not just talking about how awesome it is, but the actual composition that makes it up).
    Did you know, what you hear isn't actually what's played? That's why remixes have such a hard time and can't seem to do it justice. It's also why the song typically provokes heavier vibes and emotions in people.
    Listening to the song normally, and you'll hear a ascending and descending scale, a wave like feeling. But if you highlight left or right ears (or listen with only half of your headphones), you'll notice that there isn't a scale at all. it's multiple overlapping back and forths. Multiple layers of of similar and well timed patterns.
    That's why it feels like it crashes upon itself while still flowing, in probably the most beautiful way possible.
    December 2022 and still jamming to the ost.

    A very concise and accurate way to sum it up. The Sega CD version is one of my top 10 favorite games of all time. I preferred the music slightly over the Genesis version, and the history glyph cut scenes really added to the storyline.

    stawg007 I totally agree. They were hard and that just made them more fun. I'm proud to say that I actually totally beat both Ecco games when I was 10 or 11. I was kind of a nerd though, I'd sit and play Ecco all....day.....long..... then have some kind of nightmare about those Vortex. Serious, I swear my whole summer vacation of off school that year that's all I did was play Ecco I loved those games so much.

    This song captures the Vortex very well - I get images of a vast interstellar territory where they travel to and fro like space pirates in large vessels, plundering all they come into contact with, like the British Navy would.. The Maritime theme suites it well in a funny way, in capturing the vastness of space and the imperioussness and size of the Vortex themselves.
