Also, does anyone know why Uematsu changed it? The only thing I could think of is that it's pretty similar to the main theme of the movie "The Rock" ...

I think you answered your own question.  As far as I know, that's the only reason that was ever thrown around.

Skylark offered a rip of the song a while back.  Can't find a link source, so I just uploaded it to the Briefcase:

Still a pretty awesome track, in my book.  I always wished they had kept the track in, so that the official "The Landing" in the final game would remain exclusive to the amazing Garden war sequence at the end of disk 2.
