Either of Keener's themes. The SDV version of Fate of Sixty Years and BAiJR version of Wind God Girl come close though. I think the game with the best soundtrack over all is MoF. Best CD is DiPP.

Favorite song : Cosmic Mind, UFO 6 is just such a great experience, the background, danmaku visuals, pc98 callbacks, etc.

Most of Active Neets symphonic covers are fantastic, but their version of Faith Is For The Transient People is literally post-divinity tier. I have never heard anything that comes even close to giving that sense of excitement and adventure as this piece does.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhSMI0cIe6g

The ominous beginning, building up to the gallopping drums, followed by the chilling horns giving you a feeling like you are going on a great journey to parts unknown. The slight lull as the drums rest and the soft violins take over in the middle, then followed by the drums and horns once again.
Absolutley wonderful.
