I think we should remove the Steam link to this soundtrack. The composer didn't give them the right to sell his music from Steam and he's not receiving any of the money from it. He wrote on his Bandcamp page for the soundtrack, "This item is not authorized for posting on Steam."

Also, the Bandcamp upload is just Qwesta's (Joseph Bailey's) tracks, so it will probably need its own entry in the database anyway.

It was pulled from sale (and the soundtrack DLC erased via Steam update) shortly after you posted this.

No problem. Here's the new entry: https://vgmdb.net/album/108891

E: If you're picky about quality, all the tracks in the new bandcamp release are 24-bit, where almost all the Steam DLC tracks were 16-bit.

It seems this was restored to Steam on May 16 complete with the guest tracks from Hyakutaro Tsukumo, Mason Lieberman and Tristan Chapman. I updated the Steam link to be not OOP, reset the album status, and added the additional classifications.
So far, none of the arrangements from the recent expansion Devil Engine Ignition have been put up for sale.

Could someone please remove the bandcamp link on this entry? It does not apply to this particular edition of the soundtrack and is properly represented on the related album, the composer's personal release.

Other notables on the Steam re-release:
* Publisher is now "Poppy Works"
* The FLAC files retain the original artist credits, where the MP3s have had all credits replaced with "Various Artists"

This last point is probably due to the fact that the material of the base game was re-released without permission and under protest from Joseph Bailey (composer) and his brother (artist): https://twitter.com/Qwesta6/status/1676974964967104513
