I'm in the process of cleaning up the English translations for this page. Like some of the English tracks only list the first part of what is actually a medley of themes, etc. that are listed on the Japanese tracklist. Anyway, I'm almost done, but I'm having trouble finding out what these two phrases mean:

Disc 1, Track 16: 湿地に咆える奇獣/ゲリョス
"ゲリョス" translates to Gypceros (a monster in the game), but other than the fact that a Swamp is mentioned, I don't know what the first part translates to.

Disc 1, Track 20: 死闘の円形闘技場
A friend of mine told me this roughly translates to "Battle of the Amphitheater. Does that make sense? This is the Great Arena theme in the game; perhaps Battle of the Great Arena is more fitting?

Any help would be appreciated!

The first one I'd go with 'A Strange Beast Roaring/Howling/etc(verb depending on the beast) in the Wetlands".

For the second, maybe "(the,a) Colosseum of Desperate Struggles".
死闘 is usually translated as 'desperate struggle' (ie. a 'battle to the death').
円形闘技場 (ie.- 'round arena') is meant to be read as "Colosseum", based on Suleputer's tracklist.
(I take Colosseum goes first because 死闘 modifies 円形闘技場 rather than the other way, more or less, though maybe sounds a bit clunky)
The track actually is translated here as "Fight to the Death in the Circular Arena (Colosseum)", but doesn't seem good enough.

Btw, there is a nifty "translations search" at the bottom of the advanced search, great when you are syncing translations.

Alright, thanks for the help! I've submitted a revised tracklist with some better translations straight from the games, etc.

The Devil May Cry Remix track is an arrangement of 2 tracks.
1. "LOCK & LOAD ORIGINAL" from DMC
2. "DEVIL NEVER CRY" from DMC 3
Masami Ueda must be added as a featured composer because of this?
