Ikaruga having a great soundtrack? No way. It' s not even memorable. I don' t think it has any actual melodies. Just strings in the background changing from time to time and sometimes trying to create an " urgent" feeling.
I have to agree with that for the most part, but then again I never really expected much of a soundtrack from a Treasure game
. Historically, their games have been great-looking and great-playing, but I have yet to encounter one that I thought was great-sounding... I always thought Treasure should let Konami of Japan handle the music in their games!
That' s not to say that I didn' t enjoy certain parts of Ikaruga' s soundtrack. There were ' parts' in some tunes I did like, but, with the exception of one theme, those parts really didn' t last all that long.
THIS is still, by far, my favorite theme in the game and the only one I found memorable at all:

I liked the intro of this theme (the first 5 seconds) but that was it:
