My very first VGM "album" was the companion music disc from FF Anthology on PS1. That got me into game music, I guess you could say. The next purchase I made was, I believe, the FFVIII Orchestrated album, which was my main VGM album for quite some time. But I never have found myself listening to the whole OSTs themselves, just a song here and there, and tend to prefer arrangements like Pray, Love Will Grow, and Piano Collections, and even then, just select songs from those albums. Since then, I've also acquired knowledge of a vast array of other composers, but generally follow the same listening pattern of picking and choosing the songs I want, and basically completely ignoring the rest. As it would turn out, out of all the vast sums of songs Uemastu's composed, I perhaps have more particular Mitsuda or Sakimoto songs I really enjoy in my collection than songs by him. But those songs by him still have a place, so I still listen to them from time to time. Though it is the case that some songs by him I used to really enjoy, I now find myself saying, "did I really enjoy that that much?" I kind of feel like I "outgrew" those songs, but maybe it's just a matter of having more stuff to listen to now.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
