The Ketsui arrangements are damn near perfection. No further explanation needed.
As for Dodonpachi, I'm undecided. Mixed Melody is incredible, and Grieving Womb is better than the original. On the other hand, this version of East Asia is weaksauce (I still think Iwata's version on SRIN-1012 is the best), and Strange Dance's melody gets chopped into oblivion. Then we have Colorful Rainbow which has... an entirely new melody*? This new melody is certainly welcome, but I still wanted to hear a faithful arrangement of Colorful Rainbow in the same style as the Ketsui tracks.
*I want to say it may be Kimihiro Abe's work, but it's a lot more fast pace.
