Game Music: Songs of Time

In 1996, selections from Spencer Nilsen’s sountracks for Ecco the Dolphin CD and Ecco II: The Tides of Time CD were released on Audio CD. The tracks are arranged end-to-end to provide a better listening experience outside the game. This CD is a real masterpiece, and I’d like to share it with you guys! So on this page, you can download every track in FLAC (identical to the original tracks, but fairly large files) and MP3 (very high quality but much smaller). Enjoy!

Click the link below corresponding to the song you would like to download. If the song plays in your browser instead, right-click the link and select ‘Save Target As…’ or ‘Save Link As…’ (depending on your browser.)

    To be honest, so do I.

    I prefer the game music. This ain’t half bad though, but it sure puts a downer on your mood.
