This was the soundtrack to all the Counter Strike 1.6 climbing maps I played when I was 15/16. It fit well with all the nature/tree climbing themes on a lot of the maps. I think that's why it hits so different for me.
I agree about Firdous E Bareen. The interplay in that track is just magical and it also completely eschews the quiet/loud dynamic that was pervasive around that time.
