The Music of NiD

Anyway, what does the amazing fanbase here at the fantastic NiD.com think about NiD's music? Do you like it or hate it? Does the effect A-Life has on the music make it sound better or worse? Does the music sound familar to another game? And will JoD's music sound like the original's music, and will it keep the same funky-fresh feeling NiD had with its tunes?
I personally enjoy practically every song in NiD, except for Gulpo's theme and the Frozen Bell theme. Those just never fit with me. I think the fact that A-Life is present in music is amazing and near-revolutionary. It is amazing to me because every game can sound completely different, with a remix sound to it. Some of the music in my opinion sounds like it evolved from a Sonic game, but it still sounds totally original. I do believe that in some levels, especially those similar to the originals (like the JoD Splash Garden), the music will at least be reminiscent of the original song, although I am worried about if the new music will have the same feeling as the original had.
........ Man what a rant.

Bar none NiGHTS has one of the best soundtracks in gaming. The A-Life system adds so much replayability to the levels. It's fun seeing how it'll change, and it can get frustrating trying to get the version you want sometimes I find that all the music works pretty well, none stand out as seeming unsuited to their situation.
lately I've been thinking about music that works with NiGHTS, and thinking of what compositions I could come up with.. or if I hear something instrumental I'll think of NiGHTS and see how it fits. It's hard for me to think of compositions that don't just feel like retreads on the original tracks..
Right now I am thinking of how Wizeman's theme could be remixed for JoD..
I have a lot to say on this subject, will continue to edit this post.

It would be an interesting spinoff game if Sega made a game based off of the music of NiGHTS. Maybe a rhythm game, or a music composer thing. I would love that kind of game.I've said this before, but the music in NiGHTS is what first drew me to it, and still conveys its spirit to me better than any other medium. I love it.

Probably among the most beautiful music I've ever heard. At least as far as video games go.
The original score sent a shiver down my spine the first time I heard it. The music is so well-done it can bring a smile to my face anytime I hear it regardless of my mood. Most notably, The Paternal Horn (Spring Valley) and The Amazing Water (Splash Garden) are up there.
The music really does convey the mood and theme of the game perfectly, far better than I could imagine. Considering it IS from a Sonic Team game, try playing The Paternal Horn while playing the first act of Sonic 1 on mute. It fits

I also burned a bunch of the music to audio CDs and I listen to them when I drive. Whenever The Growth (Twin Seeds) comes on and it gets into the main theme I can't help but put my foot down.
I've said too much

My favorita is Gloom of the NHC. To me, it sounds great, and it works perfectly with the level its in. It has a darker, emptier feeling to it that I really go for.Im a HUGE fan of NiD's music. Especialy Growing Wings. Many people say the FUll Orchestral Theme or "Dreams, Dreams" is the Definitive NiGHTS Song. Nay, for me, Growing Wings Is IMHO.

My favorites are Gloom of the NHC, Suburban Museum and Under Construction. Oh, and After the Dream, I love the way it's so flowy and free... I watched a flock of birds take off once while listening to it, and that beautiful image has always stuck in my mind.

Yeah, those 4 songs are my favorite.The best thing about the music is how the A-life system affects it... you can get all sorts of interesting spins on the same song depending on how your pians are feeling. I love it when I revisit a stage and the music is different, it's great to receive feedback from the residents

I always liked D-force Masters too, because rather than being intimidating boss music, its more epic and exciting, like something important is truly happening.
And A-Life=pwnage.

From the NID music I've always loved 'Gate of your Dream'! ^_^ No matter how many times I listen to that song, it makes my heart feel happy, and warm! ^_^
But I also liked D-Force Master,the Mantle, and Reala vs NiGHTS! ^_^
