Ikaruga/Awesome Music

There's little polarization on the issue of Ikaruga having an awesome soundtrack.

This troper's favorite would be Faith, the tune to the game's third stage. The multiple "instruments" are layered over each other perfectly, and timed perfectly, to create a truly epic accompaniment to the game's jump from merely tricky to score well on to an ordeal for the mightiest of gamers.
- Oh ho ho, don't be fooled by the soundtrack's brevity, "awesome" doesn't begin to cover it...
The Default Boss Music, Butsutekkai...
Stage 2 - Trial and its Boss Theme, Recapture...
Even the theme to the Scrappy Level of the game, Reality, is awesome...
The Penultimate Theme - Metempsychosis...
Ideal and if you're good enough (or creditfeed), you'll get this lovely arrangement for your battle with the final boss...
Heck, even the tutorial's music is amazing...
