Yup, all of the characters from earlier in the series who also appeared in Dual Strike (so, all of them) had their music marginally altered. That is, it was basically just the same, but I thought they were downgraded, really. The DS version of Sonja's Theme just sounded yucky compared to the original. Lazy option, but I guess it was a no-brainer.
As for the Advance Wars series' music, I think it's progressively gotten better and more adventurous. The original compositions from the first two games were pretty standard, but I still loved tracks such as Sonja's Theme (there's such a sweet innocence to it) and Jess' Theme (the vehicular beat at the start is awesome, and the rest of the track is pretty rockin'; I'd love to hear a Days of Ruin remix of this). I always thought the Blue Moon theme was pretty poignant, but awfully undeveloped.
The majority of new additions in Dual Strike were really strong, I thought. Jake's Theme had the intense rockin' down pat, Rachel's Theme was really innovative and bubbly. Sasha's Theme is arguably my favourite DS tune; a majestic winner, which would be spectacular if arranged properly. Tag Power still makes me smile and go "wtf" and Flower Power is just a really strong piece of music.
Days of Ruin is some pretty sweet (techno-)rock. Favourites include Brenner's, Will's, Gage's and Isabella's themes. Very favourite is Brenner's. So many levels of win, they really nailed it. The ochestral licks in Will's Theme are pretty sweet as well...and Isabella's theme is a nice breathe of fresh air...strong soundtrack, what else can I say.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
