GMR says track 28 is composed by Tsutomu Kasai. Any confirmation of this?

If I'm reading the back cover scan right, track 28 is by 笠井勲. Who has been credited as Isao Kasai in some other album. But my eyes could be lying, so maybe someone who can actually read kanji should chime in.

Good catch. 笠井勲 is indeed Isao Kasai -- you can see him credited on the previous page, "Special Thanks: Isao Kasai (RACJIN-RADIX)".

Ah, nice. Didn't even think to check that credit list for the name.

Tsutomu is a misreading that's gotten around, Chudah's gives it for KICA-1251 and even GMCL has it instead of Isao. Obviously this album says "Isao," so does KDSD-00027, and the credits of the English localization of the FMA game does as well.

Question: I notice that most of disc 2 has the same tracks as earlier in the soundtrack but are labeled as "Internal Sound Source ver." What does this mean exactly? Is one set of tracks original from the game itself and the other arrangements? Or do both sets play in the actual game?

(Note that I've never actually played this game before, but I do like a lot of the music from what I've listened to.)

That's something that a lot of Hitoshi Sakimoto/Basiscape soundtracks did at the time especially for handheld games. They'd often release studio recordings/demos alongside the versions that were programmed for the game. Final Fantasy Tactics Advance OST is another example. Even in the SNES days they'd often include MIDI versions of at least a few tracks as a bonus.

Ah, I see.

So for this album, I'm guessing the "Internal Sound Source" versions are what's from the game itself and the first half of the album are studio tracks--do I have that right?

Exactly. Internal Sound Source is what the name already says - the device's internal sound chip, in this case the Nintendo DS, which means exactly the same tracks as the original sound source, but downgraded in the bitrate.

I guess they were only included as a bonus or the fill the rest of the second disc as I would not listen to the same tracks with far worse quality.
