Track 8, "Riding the Winds of Eternity", is the same as the one found in Symphony of Enchanted Lands, only with the sound of waves at the beginning left out.
Track 9, "Dawn of Victory", features a brief tympani roll at the start of the track not found on the album version.
Track 10, "Holy Thunderforce", distinguishes itself from the original version from Dawn of Victory for the loss of most of the choir parts.
