Ah, Celeste. While the story didn't resonate with me, the crispy visuals, environments, music, sound design and juicy gameplay certainly did.
Disc 1
A lot of the tracks here are a mix of different variations of the same song that play at different times ingame. I found some YouTube videos that extend certain variations to 1 hour with some in-game ambience and included a link to those in the paranthesis behind some tracks so that if you fancy only a part of the song, you can go there and only listen to that

Quiet and Falling (Entry // Darkness) I really like the part that plays in the Depths where the rooms are dark. It's calming and somber and just generally stuck to me as something I sometimes listen to when I feel (really) down(which is a lot, meaning I occassionally listen to this, making it one of the tracks I've heard consistently over a longer period of time) . - 12.

Disc 2 - B-Sides
- 01. Forsaken City (Sever the Skyline Mix)
- 02.
Old Site (Black Moonrise Mix) - 03.
Celestial Resort (Good Karma Mix) - 04.
Golden Ridge (Golden Feather Mix)It feels a bit ear-grating/loud and there's not any part that stands out as something I like.
- 05.
Mirror Temple (Mirror Magic Mix) - 06.
Reflection (Center of the Earth Mix)The "Heya" is really repetitive, although I like the part where the guitar plays alone shortly before it loops.
- 07.
Summit (No More Running Mix)There's something unique about this track to me I've felt with not a lot of tracks before where it just feels like a pure form of determination, chipping away at this huge monster of a B-Side for hours as you slowly inch yourself closer to the top of the mountain. There isn't much change in the music, just a beat and some accompanying things that kept pushing me on further - that made me say "one screen more" in this endurance run.
I think one thing that would've been cool is for this track to slowly fade out as you approach the top. There's something about the idea of hearing this music for hours until it fades away reaching the top, just accompanied by the sound of the wind blowing now that I really like
(It might be that it already does so in the game but I haven't played it in years so I don't know) .I got the same feeling from the track "Starfruit Supernova - Pillars of Creation Mix" from strawberry jams vol. 4 even though I'm not cracked enough to even face the first room there.

Final Defiance Reminds me of "Shattersong" from "strawberry jams vol. 5" because of the similar style in music and gameplay. It's unique in a way I like but can't describe.
