One of the files is a bell being rung, one is the music from the IGN trailer and one is a remake of the Dreams Dreams song.
I think Martijn has already posted the news somewhere here at the forums but i don't have time to check where it is.
What i did do was convert all the files to MP3 so it's easy listening for you all.
folder is here - http://www.nightsintodreams.com/NiD/violet...ey/JoDMusic.zip

The new version of Dreams Dreams >majorly> old version.
And the bell ringing got my mind thinking a little. Time for a topic.

I'm diggin' the "lightly" remixed Dreams Dreams...it's a lot clearer with better vocals and a few cool touches.
Thanks for getting these into MP3! They sound great!

This game came out better than I could have ever dreamed (pun 100% intended)

And very glad to hear you like it.
I, as a NiGHTS newbie, am getting more and more excited about this game

The vocals are different, way different.
I knew they sounded different in some parts, but I thought that was just because of the remix (e.g. reverb that was added, or the differences in the accompaniment exposing vocal nuances we didn't hear the first time, stuff like that). They really do sound like the first vocalists. Am I tone deaf or something?
Anyway, I'd also like to see Helen and her mother play the opening strings part.

Music is better but as for vocals...
meh
Okay I take that back. It ain't so much worse. It sounds like a song I might've heard on the radio but without the Doo Doo Do, Doo Doo do
The theme's still awesome of course.
As for Bell, it's the best track. Totally innovative. It will be the next big musical genre.

But wow, this song has renewed the feelings the first one gave me when I first heard it. I love it.
Hey, what about Mookie, or whatever? The one that sung it on Unplugged?

Reminds me of a lot the old 'Dreams Dreams', the Sega Saturn, NiGHTS: Into Dreams, and my interest in NiGHTS since I was young. The Orchestra in the background is a really nice touch as well 8D! Makes me want to do a lot of NiGHTS Related stuff again, because I've been kinda focusing more on other things recently.
Thankies for the nostalgia :3!

Its pretty good. Dreams Dreams always kinda made me chuckle and I don't think that'll change too much, but this is definitely better than those deaf kids they taught to sing by whipping them and throwing sugar cubes at them.

The introduction is much improved -- I could barely hear the fade in on the initial track and that always bugged me.
The instrumentals haven't been altered too greatly and that's for the better. I also noticed some extra vocal filler ("Ooh," "Yeah," etc.) that was very well-placed.
But that lead female vocalist has got to go. Someone had to tell her that this isn't grand opera, it's a light sort of feel-good pop song.

Now go ahead and laugh, I love the original Dream Dreams, lyrics, kids and all! It's charming, innocent, and oh so pretty! :3 That said, I also adore this new mix! Much nostalgia to be had, but it has a beautiful new spin to it and that flute solo is GRAND!! I can't stop smiling, every time something new-yet-familiar comes up, it reminds me how long we've all been waiting for this...
*proceeds to SQUEE unabashedly and send the new Dream Dreams to her boyfriend* <3

I know alot of pressure was put on Iizuka and his NiGHTS team especially with a rushed schedule but given how this project started, the low expectations, the doubts that theyd get anything right, I think our lowered expectation have paid off with some VERY VERY pleasant surprises. Just seeing those vids of Alps chase, as the player starts out and you can see all the little details moving around, all the rings slowly spinning, the nightopians and nightmaren flying, those whirling balls of flowers and other objects, clouds floating lazily overhead, and now this most excellent remixed and new theme music....my god Sega you have just f*!*ing NAILED this game. I have to say at first I had my doubts, but even the new gameplay elements look really fun and interesting. and to think we havent even SEEN much of what this game offers but we are already in love with it. Jesus I am one ridiculously happy NiGHTS fan right now how bout you guys?
Ooh! ME!! ME!! I AM! -flails arms around-

The songs are absolutely lovely
The dreams dreams one I liked, I didn't think the female vocal was -too- bad.. and I wouldn't call it operatic... I'd call it... soulfull? I think... like the R&B singers of the 90's and such X3.
My fave is still the little kids version XD LoL, but this one sounded beautiful I loved how the instruments sounded, the flute the soft violins, it's wonderful

This is so amazing!

The new singers are pretty great, but it's the new orchestral stuff that really wins, particularly the violin. Yayz! Music's down, gameplay looks down, story's looking great...
Yeah. No doubts left in my mind. Sega's back to pwn status.
...hum... the female singer has a British-sounding accent...heh, if I found out that she was NiGHTS's voice actor, I'd be rather amazed.

If he starts being sexist, I'll handle the baseball bat.iLLViLLAiN, I'm pretty sure some chick can't sing isn't being sexist. Unless you were to say "All chicks can't sing". XD No one is gonna go to town on your head with a bat for that. No one seems to like her singing. ^^;

QFT.Ah, lovely. The more I see and hear of this game, the more it's obvious that not only are a lot of the same people behind it, but that they really do respect the original material and the fans. Unlike StH's "Sweet Sweet Sweet" mix, this is an update job that's dead on: nearly the same, but with enough new material and improved mixing to make it fresh again. The female singer comes off a bit strong and I could live without the odd voice modulation, but in the end it's very much the Dreams Dreams I came to love years ago.
Spoiler
If it were, American Idol wouldn't have lasted one season.iLLViLLAiN, I'm pretty sure some chick can't sing isn't being sexist.
