It's been a long time since I heard of Mauricio self-project of ThePlasmas 'band', and Nitro Game Injection's KyleJCrb has been a great advocate of his and really put him on my radar as he developed into a stronger performer. That said, I loved the piece, and this was a dense, rocked out treatment of one of the best themes from the Genesis version of this soundtrack. Some of the thumps on the acoustic sounded like they were distorted and too close to the mic, but that also wasn't a big deal. The timing of the rock from 2:31-2:34 sounded slightly off, but it was brief. 'In light of the strong arrangement and performance, the clutter in this track wasn't a dealbreaker, but it was a negative for sure (e.g. Liontamer had a couple nitpicks but was ultimately swimming right along: While the overall style is metal, I appreciate the isolated electric guitar intro, synths towards the middle & end, and acoustic/seagull closeout nicely done. Thanks to Patient Corgi for the chance to contribute on this amazing album.'ĭefinitely turned out great, and it's quite fun to hear the relatively serene sounds of Ecco transformed into something this aggressive.

'Once again, we are part of a great project with great musicians and bands from around the world! We played a lot of Ecco: The Tides of Time when we were kids and it was a great experience to work with these songs, trying to make them like an original song by us and, on the other hand, keeping the original source and main melody fully recognizable.
