Folklore Guild - The Tides of Time

about

"Our arrangement of the Tides of Time/Medusa Bay uses harmonic progressions inspired by English-Romantic composers like Herbert Howells (1892-1983) and Sir Edward Elgar (1857-1934). Beginning the track with the 'Tides of Time' felt a little jarring, so we borrowed the 'Medusa Bay' theme to provide a contrasting introduction. Tim Poulin (arranger) was inspired to write the text after playing through the first two games and heavily researching the overarching storyline of the Ecco series.
We recorded the music at Saint Paul's Episcopal Cathedral, where many of us sing on a weekly basis. The organ at Saint Paul's is the oldest pipe organ in San Diego (1887) and recently underwent a $1.5 Million restoration a few years ago. Post-restoration, it now stands as one of the finest in the country. We are extremely lucky to have access to such a great space to record, as well as so very fortunate to have an opportunity to join in on the fun for this project! The average age of the group is 25, so many of us distinctly remember Ecco the Dolphin as being a part of our 90's childhood."

lyrics

The Asterite has power to guard the Earth (with Ecco's help)
When all its globe-like body parts are joined
The Vortex Queen's devouring all the sea
She's scattered all the Asterite's life globes
Gather the globes from the sea
To heal Asterite's body
Travel in time to find the remaining globe; bring it home!
Ecco and dolphins unite with the Ancient Asterite
Only your powers of song can destroy the queen and her drones!
Ecco has saved the sea bringing peace to all ocean life
