Ok here is the MP3, in its unaltered glory: http://www.multiupload.com/P2MLUXS976
Unfortunately I don't have the WAV.

Quick list of missing tracks just because:
- Hideout of the Chickens / first movement (ominous track that plays before it)
- Sweet Home / first movement (shorter, simpler version of 1-30 that plays a bit before it)
- Man's Tomb / variation (minor variation)
- Man's Tomb Second Movement / variation (ominous track)
- Spider String The Second Movement / variation (this is fragmented in the game, it's missing the last part without the main riff)
- Hunting / riff variations @~35s (you can hear two in 2-18, one more when 2-19 fades. The game would use one variation per battle, and there were 5, though Hunting -Surprise- doesn't have variations and only uses the first riff from the OST. I looove this track so it's a pity they didn't include all).
- DDS2's Rare Devil Battle (the mp3 above, plays in special battles)
- Tower of Reunion / first movement (alternate version of 3-23, plays before it, very similar though)
- Two mostly ambient/ominous town themes.
- Time Capsule / ending song (included in a single)
- A few (5-10) minor cutscene tracks, from both games (I think DDS1 only missed a couple, some may be considered SE > ex.- VS Ravana 2)
Pretty disappointing since they had enough space to put them.

The track order is all wonky too (I think if they spreaded/mixed better the cutscenes and battle themes it would be a better listen) and not all tracks loop fully. Bah.


Plus "Blade" (2-09) is "Sicily" arranged from Maken X and Shao, never fails to amuse me.

EDIT: in this AMA some gentleperson asked Meguro about Blade/Sicily:
Spoiler:
BeatrixDavis123: There's a song in Digital Devil Saga (Blade) that sounds very similar to Maken X (Sicily), was the song reused for a purpose?

Meguro: You nailed it. In Maken X you use a sword (Ken) as you do with DDS (Blade).
