Great OST, happy to see they included the Mifune track. Death the Kidd and Have a nice dream are awesome too.

It was done by Taku Iwasaki who imo has been one of the best music composers in the anime industry in the last 9-10 years. His first Rurouni Kenshin OVA score is still his best work imo. It's like an entire score in the style of the Mifune track....

His only real criticism I've seen is that he sticks to the same style too much... but he's pretty much showed his versatility in the last few years with Kekkaishi, Gurren Lagann, Persona Trinity Soul and now Soul Eater.
