Nice use of dynamics and percussion coming back to the quiet

Everythingįrom here on is great, except that second chord in the The synth behind the melody is kind of strange, as is theġ:16 - AH GOD, dude, I love this part.

When the kick and snare come in at 00:37, The percussion seems a bit strange at 00:30, but I think that Nilsen's done a lot of redbook audio work in the game music world, and usually capitalizes on being unfettered from the limitations of a chip, so his stuff is already sonically developed, but SGX has taken things in a different direction with great success, capturing the exploratory and epic scope of the Ecco series perfectly. You don't get a lot of melodic movement or variation, but that would have required extremely capricious conjuring given the original composition. This is very slick chill music with brains, and particular kudos for developing the drums further into the piece and not letting them stagnate.
