Zwei Jahre lang erfreute er jene exklusive Bande, die sich in ihrer Dekadenz ein Mega CD zu leisten vermochte, mit ein paar der besten Videospielsoundtracks aller Zeiten. Einer davon ist die Fortsetzung zu seinem vermutlich besten Werk. Zwar fehlt es ihm an Originalit\u00e4t, doch das Endergebnis ist trotzdem eigenst\u00e4ndiger als oftmals berichtet.<\/p>\n<p>Nat\u00fcrlich ist der auf CD abgelegte Soundtrack wieder Synthesizer in Reinkultur. Doch wo <b>Ecco the Dophin<\/b> mit seinem ruhigen Klang der Meister der Chillouts ist, da tendiert <b>Tides of Time<\/b> zu dezent flotteren sowie actionreicheren T\u00f6nen. Es ist immer noch weit entfernt vom generischen Shoot&#8217;em Up, aber eine konsequente Weiterentwicklung innerhalb der kurzlebigen Serie.<\/p>\n<p>Als besonders gelungen gilt \u201eSt. Gabriel&#8217;s Mask\u201c, das die technisch schicken 3D-Levels begleitet und im Gegensatz zur lahmen Spielgeschwindigkeit zumindest das Gef\u00fchl von Hast und Schnelligkeit vermittelt.<\/p>\n<p>Lieber blieb im Gegensatz zum Vorg\u00e4nger die CD-Version von <b>Tides of Time<\/b> exklusiv dem Mega CD vorbehalten. Sowohl die Umsetzungen f\u00fcr Wii als auch PC orientieren sich an der Modul-Variante, deren Soundtrack in keiner Weise mit Nilsens grandiosen Synthik\u00fcnsten mithalten kann.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Soundtrack-Ver\u00f6ffentlichungen [Original]<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/vgmdb.net\/album\/353\">ecco SONGS OF TIME [Compilation]<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_12917\"  width=\"576\" height=\"432\"  data-origwidth=\"576\" data-origheight=\"432\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/RuNwZ9GqBFU?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Ecco_2_Songs_of_Time.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3343\" alt=\"Ecco_2_[Songs_of_Time]\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Ecco_2_Songs_of_Time-e1442619270219-1024x1018.jpg\" width=\"576\" height=\"572\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Ecco_2_Songs_of_Time-e1442619270219-1024x1018.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Ecco_2_Songs_of_Time-e1442619270219-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Ecco_2_Songs_of_Time-e1442619270219-300x298.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Ecco_2_Songs_of_Time-e1442619270219.jpg 1413w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 576px) 100vw, 576px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Composer: Spencer Nilsen System: Mega CD Year: 1994<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3342","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-score","category-personal-top-365-score"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3342","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3342"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3342\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3355,"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3342\/revisions\/3355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3342"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3342"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theawardian.de\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3342"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
