- === About this Song ===
I love remixing music from the classics. Zelda, Sonic, Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger - all the big games I grew up with and spent so many hours playing when I was younger. But I also love getting the chance to discover some of the more obscure games and soundtracks that I missed through the years - and Ecco: The Tides of Time was one of them.
I played the original Ecco the Dolphin on Genesis, and always thought it was an interesting game with its slow, deliberate pace and exploratory design. The soundtrack was much more ambient and experimental than a lot of the game music I remember from the time, but it fit the game perfectly.
While I was coming up with some ideas for "Sin City," I re-listened to the original Ecco soundtrack, but then I remembered that the game had a sequel on Genesis that I never had the chance to play. After checking out the music in "The Tides of Time," I was very impressed with several of the tracks, and I was surprised by the overall complexity and quality of some of the songs on the track list. The music for the "Two Tides" stage in particular jumped out to me as having a solid, laid-back beat and some great synth sections.
I incorporated elements of trap music for this remix, as I wanted it to have a chill, moody, "underground" feel to it. Some of the Ecco music is pretty epic and dramatic, so I added some brassy synths in the later melody to add some excitement and to incorporate some of the "bigger" feeling of some of the songs in the Genesis Ecco soundtracks.
I ended up using clips I took on a trip to the Mandalay Bay aquarium as the footage for the video. I realize that it was a fairly on-the-nose choice, but the images of various marine life swimming around slowly in beautiful enclosures ended up fitting nicely with the sound and feel of the completed remix.
Thanks for listening, and for joining me on this journey. Enjoy!

Man, I just zoned out and got sucked into this. Awesome remix! I played Tides of Time years ago solely because a remix turned me onto its soundtrack. It's so good. Love that you showed it some love and added your own flair to this
Thank you! I checked out parts of this game on the Genesis Mini and it was very cool. Definitely an interesting game for its time with some unique music on the Genesis / MD. I'm glad you enjoyed!
Really neat! I love the Tides of Time theme for how dark and moody it is, but this does a nice twist on the ambience into something chill that still maintains that moodiness.
Thank you! I tried to incorporate both aspects since I thought they were important to retain in covering this theme. It's sometimes a challenging balancing act. But glad you enjoyed!
This was great! I get excited every time I see you have a new track out!
I agree! Has been a little delight of mine for a month or so now
Thank you, thank you for continuing to listen!
@@MkVaff My pleasure!
Dude, this is fucking amazing.
Thank you! Glad you liked it!
