The instrumentation and the musicians themselves are an eclectic mix, with a new band performing each song. Even then, Timeless Ocean mostly sounds acoustic, and natural, and soothing. This album is more for relaxation and background music, and some songs are more lively and make you feel like dancing. It uses modern instrumentation and synthesizer, of course, but it strives to remain closer to the original feeling of quiet mystery and solitude. However, this is not the case in Timeless Ocean because this album stays closer to the original styling of the classic video game soundtracks. It’s been a few years since reviewing SOUND WAVES, but I remember that about half of that album’s songs had changed genre so much that it was hard to get into (with heavy, grinding electric guitar, and super-fast drumbeats, etc.). This music album is actually the second Ecco-tribute release that I’ve reviewed for Sega-16. It’s published online for free download (and YouTube playback) by “Pixel Mixers,” an online community devoted to arranging and performing video game music (Click here for its YouTube vid, which includes its download link). Such a release is especially surprising and impressive since Ecco has not had a new game since his Dreamcast appearance, two decades ago! August 2019 saw the release of Timeless Ocean: An Ecco the Dolphin Tribute Album. One such recent discovery was learning that a new Ecco music tribute album just came out. To me, it’s always finding new things that nobody ever talks about. For that reason, exploring Ecco’s series is rewarding. Sure, it received some TV ads, and magazine reviews, etc., but Ecco never took the spotlight like his famous cousin, Sonic. Genre: Music Developer: Various Artists Publisher: Pixel Mixers Released: 2019įor the most part, the Ecco the Dolphin series has always floated in the background.
