The inclusion of "Butter-Fly" and "Target" from the original Japanese version at the end is a nice bridge between the two worlds. "Matt's Song" is one of those surprisingly emotional deep cuts -- Yamato playing harmonica on a cliff while dealing with his family issues, translated into this quiet English version that somehow works.
"Devimon" brings the menace for the villain tracks, "Your Heart Is Breaking (Fake Friends)" handles the drama, and "Show Me the Light" does the heavy emotional lifting for the finale moments. The Piano Mix of "Live Your Dream" closing things out is a smart choice.
It strips the main theme down to something reflective, like looking back on the whole Digital World adventure from the other side. For anyone who grew up with the English dub and wants that exact Saturday morning feeling bottled up, this is the gold standard -- literally.
