Reacting to "Diving" from WATERWORLD SNES

Taking a listen to a track from the Waterworld SNES game which has a terrible cover image. But good music.

Entirely agree with the analysis. Fun fact: Dean Evans composed Waterworld on a tracker, which allowed him to do impressive effects like random pannings and more precise vibratos. I should mention the phasing from this upload is not in the real track, therefore should not be taken for granted. Dean used a lot of features from the hardware, including pitch modulation and often the 8 available channels. One to recommend next is def High Score from Green Lantern or Final Rescue from Eek! The Cat

Thank you so much for checking this out! I can only add that the "Map" theme from this game is one of the most relaxing pieces of music you could find on SNES. IMO two other composers that are REALLY worth checking out are Matt Furniss and Jesper Kyd. Their stuff is also top tier and has a unique feel, the latter in particular. Suggestions are below: Matt Furniss - Second Samurai (Sega Genesis) - Prehistoric Stage 1, maybe check out his version of the soundtrack for Alien 3 (you did a reaction for the NES version by Jeroen Tel which is also really good). For Jesper Kyd I highly recommend Adventures of Batman & Robin (Sega Genesis). Its really hard to pick a few in particular but I'd say give a listen to Big Boss and Dark Studio and something else if you like those. His shtick at the time was dark techno and boy, I guarantee you haven't heard anything like that on genesis sound chip (except Red Zone and Sub-Terrania which are also worth checking out). His tracks do tend to be a little repetitive, but with such a headbanging blood pumping rhythm I don't complain.

Thanks again for reacting to Dean Evans! I would recommend going with Final Rescue from Eek! The Cat next!

I'd love to know what you think of "Battlezone: Rise of the Black Dogs" on the Nintendo 64; it's a port of the 1998 FPS/RTS hybrid released on PC and I have a soft spot for that music because while it sounds tinny and lo-fi, the melodies themselves are pretty great and the instrumentalisation lends the melodies an eerie tone that the original PC version doesn't have.

Waterworld may have been a terrible game. But i will never forget the Beautiful Music!

[@andyukmonkey]

I wonder if they were heavily inspired by Aquatic Ambience from Donkey Kong Country for this one
