Ecco the Dolphin Music (Sega Genesis) - Complete OST Part 1

[AlexExodia]

This is what it sounds like inside a dolphin's brain.

[Aivottaja]

Dark ocean depths scare the living shit out of me for some reason.

[StolenLettuce]

This game is a significant piece of my childhood memory... but, let's be honest - it scared the CRAP out of me! Deep...deep...dark blue ocean waters...

[slodere]

medusa bay sndtrck is also known as 'city of forever' -> for the fans ;)

[slodere]

very spacey sounds then again ecco ends in space. good marketing game ;)

[chaosdragon82]

Thank You Very Much For Uploading This. Beautiful Music. Timeless

[citronvand]

Oh, what a great game, dolphins! :D

"Why don't you try and jump as high as you can Ecco?" Ok dolphin bro :)

And thus my childhood was ruined and I will be forever scarred by this game...

[Xerxes845]

Such an amazing sountrack....probably this and the Tides of Time having the two best soundtracks of ANY genesis games....they almost sound as if they're MIDI quality at times, both are incredible and capture the sorrowful and majestic feelings of both games.

[LoneStarBoy713]

I haven't heard this since probably when I was what 5 in 95!! Good stuff memories

[Look2Good2Binnocent]

I JUST WANT TO HEAR "SEEEEGGAAAA". Just once. It's been 12 years since I heard that at the beginning of Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. LoooL.

[DannyEastes]

3:56 omfg yes.

[aRandomMop]

Most. Difficult. Game. EVER.

[HappyFunTimeGameBand]

Expecting the guitar from "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" to kick in during "Medusa Bay" :)

[xXsk8erb0iXx]

Man. Those were the days. I was playing on this weird red "plug into the tv console" it had Sonic, Ecco, Tetris, bejeweled, some epic toxic waste game, and some weird warrior shit.

[SpiralPegasus]

@xXsk8erb0iXx It seems to me that you're quite young.

Anyhow, the games you're looking for are The Ooze (some epic toxic waste game) and Columns (bejeweled).

"Weird warrior shit" is a bit too generic, but maybe with a better description I could give you the title of that, too. (Unless it's Alex Kidd, which really isn't a fighter)

[xXsk8erb0iXx]

@SpiralPegasus Ohhhh.... It's been two months, so i've changed since then. Lol. I'm actually 14 years old ,but age doesn't matter. I recently lost my "Weird red ' Plug into the TV console". I found my Sega Genesis console and played it multiple times. It was Ecco, Ooze (Thank you so much!), Alex Kidd, and Bejeweled. I have a limited space for typing characters so I can only say this one thing. Age doesn't matter in the world of gaming. As long as your having fun. NO MATTER what age, you can.....

[xXsk8erb0iXx]

@xXsk8erb0iXx Still play the game.*

[SpiralPegasus]

@xXsk8erb0iXx You're welcome!

i agree, as long as it's fun, age (not yours nor the one of the game) matter.

Since you are able to appreciate old games, let me recommend you two, for the Genesis (you can emulate them if your console can't use the cartridges): Ristar and Gunstar Heroes.

There's at least three excellent games for any old console that has existed, and emulators to give them a try. NES, SNES, Sega CD, Playstation 1... you just have to look!

If you want more recommendations just ask

[xXsk8erb0iXx]

@SpiralPegasus I recently looked both the games you have recommended too me and they seem excellent. Do you have anymore recommendations for me that are closely related to the selection you have provided me? If you do. it would be very appreciated.

[SpiralPegasus]

@xXsk8erb0iXx Hey, it's great that you're so polite but there's no such need to be so formal hahaha Sure. Same genres: - Sonic 1, 2, 3 & Knuckles - Alien Soldier - ToeJam and Earl Panic in Funkotron - Mega Turrican - Shinobi series Different genres: - Thunder Force 3&4 (they're a bit hard, but they're awesome) - Shining Force series Those should keep you entertained for quite a while... You know how to use emulators? If not I can write you a small tutorial to get you going.

[xXsk8erb0iXx]

@SpiralPegasus I am currently growing up with a formal family. It's very hard not to sound so polite with a veteran in the house. I am very sorry I did not post a comment worth being said. Thank you for the selection.

[SpiralPegasus]

@xXsk8erb0iXx Hey, take it easy. Coming to the internet should help you be less stressed, here you just talk about whatever and relax.

Anyway do you know how to use emulators?

And you're welcome, by the way.

I have tried pretty much 75% of old consoles, at least via emulation, so if you ever wonder what the best games for NES, SNES, PlayStation 1, Saturn, Lynx, etc. were, leave me a comment and I'll tell you. See you.

[xXsk8erb0iXx]

@SpiralPegasus Thank God! *Sighs of re leaf* I was like "This dude doesn't even care" so I'm just gonna speak like this. It's a re leaf that I don't need to worry about not being so formal. Yes I know how to use emulators. I have an A+ in tech so I know pretty much anything. I made my own set of emulators. All I need to do now is plug it in and "BAM!" we got it.

[Go0dSir]

This is definitely some real erie and creepy music. I loved this game as a child, and until recently just ordered a retro sega genesis and finally but still had trouble beating it.

[TheNattak]

This song reminds of this one time...

[KukriCat]

I remember this game. I was like "WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO DO" and then when I figured it out I was all happy. The music was epic too...but I never passed the undercaves. I always ran out of breath and died.

[TheSpecialGuest]

I think "undercaves" may be some of the first dubstep

[nationalphantom]

@TheSpecialGuest

Ecco the dolphin is so much classier than dubstep, GTFO.

[TheSpecialGuest]

This is all Frequency Modulation synthesis, which is really amazing, no samples. Imagine a Yamaha DX7 playing all this

[BoSs391]

Ecco The Dolphin is pure AWESOME

You liked this video. We'll use this to improve your recommendations. 

[1shoryuken]

l used to rent this game all the time as a kid, l always thought the music and atmosphere was amazing.

[fluffyglobz]

>Listen to the Undercaves music while reading kawaii desu fluff fanfics

>???

>LOLOLOLOLOLS WILL BE HAD

[smoothMousePad]

One of the best games ever to grace me with it's touch...

[homicidalidiot]

Nostalgia bomb! I remember playing this game when I was six years old, always loved it.

[antonio1977jp]

This music is possible to use for meditation. I have got nostalgia from the golden times from Sega, when I was playing this game when I was 15 to 16 years old.

[greedy800hp]

one of the classic game... COMPLETLY time killing game... i was like 7 when playing this game... HAHAHAHA!!! bring back many memories...

[BoydTheMilkmanX]

@Ryuuusa You must have never played this game.

I remember playing this so long ago on my Genesis. Must been like 12 years now. Second level always scared the fuck out of me because of the music. So did the Octopi. :(

[Ryuuusa]

@BoydTheMilkmanX Wow....I must have never played this game.So yeah the Ecco the dolphin game I had for my genesis was just my imagination and beating the game was just my imagination.

You sir must be a genius to have come up with such an assumption.The instruments sound different in this.But I think thats cos the ingame sounds kinda made the song instruments sound different I dont know.

[bluebillygrit1]

Who the hell searches for Ecco The Dolphin music and dislikes it? Seriously???

[kanelic]

@bluebillygrit1 Agreed. How do you even end up here if you don't like it and look it up?

[esoretal]

This game is the entire reason I have a Genesis emulator on my computer.

[HeadlessPony]

Oh my god. Thaaaaank yooou. Seriously. I LOVE the soundtrack to this. So memorable and peaceful and calming almost.

[AlmightyScubba]

Ecco the dolphin is the reason I'm insane.

[eyebal]

The Intro track reminds me of "Hunting Bears" by Radiohead.

[Darin550]

I love the second song, soo amazing!

[GammaJK]

Wasnt this game rated one of the hardest games of all time..? i dont think i ever got past the 2nd level..

[David19J91]

@GammaJK I'm sure it was, its been so long since I played it but I remember it being hard as hell

[ChisaiiKamui]

Before playing: Hey, here's a game about a dolphin made around a time when environmentally themed games were kind of popular. Story's probably about sinking whalers and tuna fishermen.

After playing: JESUS FUCKING CHRIST NIGHTMARE FUEL EVERYWHERE

[Colton5]

@ChisaiiKamui which shows you that the writers were thinking above the norm, WHICH IS ALWAYS BETTER!

[kall67]

Used to have this game, poor dolphin would always drown....lol. Brings back memories.

[234234234werrrrrrr]

hungarians....pretty cool folk

[Kingofeurope]

This soundtrack is heavily inspired by Pink Floyd. It even references Pink Floyd, "Welcome to the machine".

[esoretal]

@Kingofeurope I love you for knowing this. I thought I was the only one.

[IAmElectrospecter]

@Kingofeurope I was way into video games before I ever knew about Pink Floyd... Needless to say when I heard their song for the first time all I could think of was sinister crushing blocks of alien junk and drowning and giant heads floating in space. I can definitely see the similarities now.

[BboyDyme]

@Kingofeurope wow

[mistertitanic]

This is higher pitched than on the actual Genesis...sounds strange...

[estevescruz]

af... garbage, lixo, kuso....

the original is the best... EUA just copy the sega cd game and fuck off with the musics...

[ronaldmcdonald333]

introspection like a mother fucker

[RetiredJimmy]

@ronaldmcdonald333 this is the best comment

[ronaldmcdonald333]

This and toejam and earl are the best fucking games ever, best music ever, best plot ever, pure genius.

[Crust218]

Few things beat Sega Genesis. This game surprised the hell out of me, and the soundtrack is one of the most compelling and haunting in the Genesis library. Thanks for this awesome upload.

[corollafrenzy]

1 person accidentally hit dislike. We forgive!

[blueandyellowguitar]

omfg i miss this game and music. it was too hard for me lol but i always LOVED the music. <3 im a nerd :]

[grounder]

@blueandyellowguitar

What's so nerdy about thinking back about old times?

[blueandyellowguitar]

@grounder

I dunno, the fact that im listening to a video game soundtrack. haha :P i dont care though because i love it!

[Texshy]

the second song always gives me chills

[videogreg93]

Dude I remember playing this when I was like 5 and not understading shit because not only was it so weird but I could bearly understand english (I'M from quebec) I still made it almost to the end... good times

[SilenceYouBeast]

@videogreg93 I just thought at the beginning they all get swept away in a tornadao and the story was trying to find your pod, how wrong I was xD

[cvoc37]

... I swore I would not comment on another vid, but I must know... did you perform this compilation?

[AurynThePaladin]

6:15 I'm just waiting for the beat to kick in and hear people singing "fahren fahren fahren auf der autobahn"

[Zellig]

I don't know what those people are complaining about. This IS the music that is in the sega genesis version. We bought this game on the actual sega genesis when I was a child. This is the song that played. These people are probably confused because they played the SECA CD version or something.

[bananaempijama]

HARDEST GAME I'VE EVER PLAYED!!!!!

[frightenedanconfused]

sinth power ftw!

[43050power]

possibly the best game soundtrack ever!!!! thanks for uploading :)

[Ult1mateUltron]

I forgot all about this music of ecco the dolphin.

But its great.Glad i found this.

[tarotjd]

Hi I love the soundtrack very good I'm gonna sub you :-)

[tbits42]

ECCO 4 EVER!!!  -Daughter

[DetectiveFlip]

ECCO THE FLIPPER yeah

[ASTRALNOYUME]

Thanks! Great !!! Nice super :)

[Maltebyte2]

@Ryuuusa yes it is, you must be mistaking it with Ecco 2 Tides of time

[shadoah]

@CaptCollins woa your that stupid or just too young to remember??

[shadoah]

nice good and painful memories at the same time

i so loved this music, but the game was some times very frustrating.

nice to hear it again though

[Acroman12]

Thanks a billion for the download.

I've literally wanted this music for a decade.

[Strogenforcer]

@Ryuuusa Dumb Ass

[HannahLouiise19]

@Ryuuusa

Ive come across 2 different music types for both ecco games :S this was the music that i had on my game..

[InfurnusChaotix]

ZOMFG WTF?! I HAVE THIS GAME STILL AND TODAY I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO BEAT IT! :D It took 10 Years to beat this game, o-o//// Half the times I gave up cause It was too fucking annoying, and the music didn't help, IT PUTS ME TO SLEEP, EVEN AFTER SHITFACED WITH CAFFEINE LOADED AND HYPED...makes me...drowsy...can't...beat..le­vel...too hard...tired...zzzzzzzzz...XDD

[Hesoyam2480]

I like it. Best sound ever.

[PendragonBra]

@CaptCollins Hold your horses, pal. The only difference is that Sega never acquired rights to name the console "Mega Drive" in USA, thus having to change to Genesis in that country. It is the same game, with same specifications. Please, do a bit of reasearch before disrespectfully freaking out like that. (as an alternative, you may be referring as the Sega CD version that has enhanced audio. But nonetheless, it just doesn't give you the right to act like a spoiled kid like that)

[DJBrand0n]

@PendragonBra Listen man. I OWN THE SEGA GENISIS VERSION. And this not the same fucking version. Just dont even talk if you dont know what yuour talking about, but a spoiled kid? wtf are you talkin about lol. i may be fuckin hammered but THIS IS NOT THE SAME SONG AS THE GENESIS VERSION. Please go listen to both and compare as i am doing right now. Get off me son, cause this is a different version.

[explod2A03]

@DJBrand0n

I'm all about accepting corrections, I try to keep accurate and descriptive information with all of my uploads. If you can link me to a video or sample that shows the difference, I'll be sure to make the distinction accordingly. I can't exactly 'listen to both' at the moment, I have the VGM from project2612 as my source, and they don't have alternate regions. I asked what the difference was before, it's up to you if you want to present helpful information or just be a complainer.

[sekretsu]

@DJBrand0n The only difference between this on Youtube and the actual Genesis version is theres more treble, because the emulator is so advanced it picks up the extra sound that the Genesis can't read from the files.

:) Alot of games are like this, why do you think Shaq-Fu and Comix Zone have annoying beeps during some songs? The emulator somehow picks them up.

[S67Snail]

@DJBrand0n I'm sorry but this sounds like the genesis/mega drive version to me....were there even any other versions 0_o

[XxPostalDudexX]

@DJBrand0n I own the sega genesis verson too, and this is the same soundtrack.

[actionreplayman07]

I don't mind the music.

[MaiGuiltyGear]

This game had some of the creepiest and most incredible, atmospheric of any game of its generation, of heck, any generation.

I remember my mother coercing me into buying this game. I wanted the Tasmanian Devil game, but she thought something with dolphins would be "nicer." Boy am I glad I let myself be convinced...

[MaiGuiltyGear]

@MaiGuiltyGear Atmospheric music*, that is. ~~

[DragstMan]

@CaptCollins Oh please, megadrive is just eur/jap version of genesis :-)

[steviesteppa30]

i remeber completing this in 93 or 94 wicked game,and wat a storyline alien shit man.luved it wen u go back in time.

[Starroad77]

This is one of my favorite games

[Hisotrygeek94]

Man, watching these videos is starting to make me kinda like Dolphins, and I don't even have any of the Ecco games.

[Hisotrygeek94]

The second track, Home Bay, is pretty depressing because it plays when Ecco realizes all living creatures in his Home Bay had been abducted by the Vortex, including his pod. Poor Ecco, it must have been horrible finding himself all by himself, not knowing what just happened or where his pod and everything else went. :(

[Diabound66]

My god, this is so old school, i havent heard this music in so long.

[Texshy]

wow this game use too scare me all the time and it still sort of gives creeps now, I use too never be scared of the octopus but now i am, wierd

[Diabound66]

i think the music also made the octopus scary as shit, like the undercaves music for example.

[negativethoughts]

its funny how such an old, graphically inferior game can have more atmosphere, and a deeper feelin to it than many/all of todays games. ther are some exceptions.

[Hisotrygeek94]

@negativethoughts Yeah, Ecco has atmosphere and peacefulness to it, a far cry from the chaos of Call of Duty World at War or Modern Warfare 2. I mean, which is more peaceful: Dolphins jumping out of the water with this music playing, or Firing a minigun at Russian forces assaulting D.C. inside of a Chopper? The former, though the latter sounds more awesome.

[LtSarge]

agreed. it was at face value just a game about a dolphin, and if u did not allow urself to open into the game that is all you would see.

but i mean u can replace that ecco is an undersea person, it does not change that the environment atmosphere and music was very unique at that time. its a shame how underated this game and its first sequel are

[milllipede]

This game was terrifying as a child. And then Ecco would just keep screaming as I died over and over again.

[Diabound66]

yeah especially those fuckin octopuses. or about to run out of air and knowing your fucked.

[foamyfan231]

I gotta say I never really understood the appeal of the game but still I know its good but I love the music :D

[namo8c]

from 0 til 6:38 probably the best and most ambiatic trance tune i've ever listened to in a video game. big props to the game developers . thanks for uplodin' !

[fourstar7]

only The Tides of Time exceeded this game. god damn i loved this game. been so long since i heard the music.

[daconmiked]

undercaves a masterpiece .

[nin3k]

loving the beginning

[zombieoutbreakprod]

so many good times with sega

[hoboterror]

the giant octopus is comical with all its arm twists

[Legumaniac]

This game is probably my favorite game of all time, with one exception.

And that exception is Ecco: The Tides of Time.

[germyfromirc]

Hey Thanks for uplading this.. this is one of my fav Gen games..

[SpaceCadet1]

Brilliant! Been having a hard time getting mp3 versions of this OST, so thanks for upping these on youtube! ;D

[trevdarc]

Thanks for putting this up. I woke up thinking of The Library (Medusa Bay music), and this colored my morning, in 16 bits.

[SQUIZZLER24]

...and 512 colours. :)

[nekecha]

@trevdarc if i will be wake up with this music i think i don't stand up from bed and spend whole day thinking 'bout time and life

[aceduck1981]

03 - Medusa Bay is very haunting..

[ArmTheHomeless86]

02 - The Lagoon is so amazing. Seriously.

[MelanieCaffrey]

This game is the first Okami I swear its THAT good ^_^

[LtSarge]

for some reason that makes a lot of sense

[YouOpaOpa]

Thank you for this. Amazing soundtrack. Who could've thunk that a dolphin game would have such a bizarre story?

[Devon219]

i played this game when i was young i still never figured out how 2 get past that rock wall

[MrG6051]

u got me...i still cant get past that damn octopus in the undercaves lol

[explod2A03]

You gotta swim by him really, really slowly! Just lightly tap on that d-pad and float by him. :)

For the rock wall you have to push that weird looking shell thing against it. The catch is that you have to push it up against it as its falling from the above ledge...

[djklink20009]

i still prefur the tides of time theme

[redhouse1985]

I remember playing this a little boy. Brings back really good memories....Wouldn't happen to have any Sonic music or even better, POWER RANGERS!!!!

[Maltebyte]

thanks for posting love the music soooo chilled sends you into another world

[durante888]

This game frustrated me as a kid I had no idea hot to beat it.

[AylatheRaichu]

I know, I never got past level two. It was fun though, great music.

[mikeyline1]

Thank you!

[seanb91]

16 years on and this game is still easily the most atmospheric i've ever played.

[EagleSammich]

Thank you. Most of these songs bring tears to my eyes

It's like a memory rush.

[HJ43050]

Top stuff, FANTASTIC!!!!!!!
