This is one ReMix that was a long time coming. Jazzflight submitted it a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, and we lost touch. Well, with the positive memories and good nostalgia vibe generated by Gux's recent Little Nemo mix, JF decided to resubmit this much-enhanced version. He writes: "Man, I really loved this original song. Note: it's only 20 seconds long in the game. My remix is 4 minutes and 7 seconds. It just has that "fun, addictive" nature to it, I couldn't resist. =D ". I have to concur - this is the type of theme that makes one feel as if one is floating over clouds, looking down upon the world below. Or maybe that's just the Jim Beam talking. Either way, the treatment here is unique, with a jazzier drum kit running more of a techno duty at times, and at times doing more of a laid-back thing. Synthetic 'computer speech' intros us off, verbatim from the game, but we also get the great reprise of "Sleepy time, let's go!" which brought a smile to my face. Love the deeeeep bass and kick drum, and the way electronic elements and emulations of acoustic instruments are intertwined. This piece kinda defies categorization, which is a very good thing. Details - at 2'26" there's little country twang thrown in for good measure that adds character. I also dig how this piece ends - not really a fade, not a dead stop, more of a ritard and gradual 'de-orchestration'. Very hip, very original, lotta style, and fun to listen to.
Probably could've done without the intro, and...come to think of
it, I didn't really like much of this remix, though some of the
main melodies were charming at times.
- MechaFone on December 19, 2010The spoken stuff at the beginning is pretty tacky. Samples are also
brutal. The beat over the beginning really is unnecessary, and the
way this song progresses is very basic & repetitive.
Not a fan of this by any means.
- Bahamut on October 31, 2009I, like many others, hate the intro to this. It brings things into
a realm that is just so wrong for where the rest of the mix goes.
If it was breakneck drum and bass stuff, maybe. But it's like oil
to water with the hooky simpicity that follows.
Once the intro is a memory, things get very sweet very fast. Even
though the samples are dire, I do like how everything comes
together. And I really think the source has been arranged quite
beautifully. It most definately redeems the opening narration for
me.
Good choices and bad choices abound in this one. Glad to say the
blemishes get flushed out early on, leaving a lot to enjoy
afterwards.
- Marmiduke on July 8, 2009I loved Little Nemo as a kid, even though I could only beat it
once. In my opinion, all the LN Remixes are great. This one may not
be that catchy, but I felt like it fit in with the story-telling
spirit of the game (hence the voice). I was inspired by these tunes
to play the game again (and beat it) and to read the original
comics by Winsor McCay (check your library system).
Go Jazzflight!
- glasfen on September 24, 2008I can't say I'm a fan of the mix overall, but I can see that a lot
was done to make an apparent 20 second source into this. The intro
is indeed too long, in my opinion. The voice doesn't do it for me,
either. I never liked narrated pieces (usually) anyways.
Just not doing it for me, sorry.
- DragonAvenger on September 22, 2008I have to agree that I dislike the intro, but the song really does
get very, very good. The very last part is beyond fantastic, and I
only wished it had come sooner, and more often. Production wasn't
astounding, but it served the song well enough, and the sounds used
meshed well.
- OA on January 2, 2007I really appreciate the intro speech. It lets you know up front
what the song is all about. Straight to the point.
- ChloroPhil on December 13, 2006I absolutely loved this mix. I only wish there were more Nemo
remixes to please my ears, for it was and still is my favorite game
of all time. There still is nothing like the amazing world that
Capcom and Winsor McCay created. Those giant mushrooms, powerful
animals, bizarre enemies just the entire amazing landscape captured
me at a young age, and impressed me much more than any Mario game.
After all, I just replayed this game a few days ago. I am long
tired of SMB games. The intro to this song kind of annoys me, but
the rest is pure brilliance. The fade out, to me is the absolute
best part. I can't imagine a better fade out than the gradual
decompisition of the different elements.
- mr_owen on October 14, 2006It's good from about 1:30 on, but that intro almost ruins the
entire thing. I found the bassline to be annoying, and then
combined with that synthesized speech, the intro was just really
horrible. After 1:30 though, it's a great mix.
- SubSpecies23 on December 11, 2004its all good after the first minute or so
- jordex on November 22, 2004I couldn't believe the limited responses and limited happiness over
this track. I guess the game was too obscure. Well, I loved the
game and I love this remix. Jazzflight deserves much respect for
it. It's my favorite remix from this site so far. The composer
takes 20 seconds of music and just builds on it tremendously. While
half the stuff I find on here seems to be copies of the original
music just technoed (no offense to anyone), Jazzflight actually
creates original tune for this to add on and make great. I love the
robotic voice at the beginning. It makes me think of a beginning
adventure and gets me excited to hear the song all over again each
time.
- Your Good Twin on January 22, 2003oddly enough i hated the intro and like the rest. The song got good
1:30 seconds after it started. This mix is average. Kinda boring,
and by all means that intro is awful! Could be worse, but could be
much better too. 5/10
- ecco on November 20, 2002Little Nemo 'Goodnight Little Nemo'
Gotta love the Hawking-esque intro narration! Other than that, I
can't say this is something I'd listen to on a regular basis, as
the musical style doesn't really rub me the right way. But it's
good at what it does, I'll give it that much.
