Especially when they took a couple of my offered arrangements to post... There's nothing more heartening to a composer getting started than a connoisseur listening to what you've created and saying, "Hey, I like that. It's pretty good. I think other people should hear this, too!" That was a couple of years ago now, and I've done several projects since then. Gotten a lot better, and learned to fix the minor errors cropping up in those early midi files. (What? You mean I have to initialize the volume in ALL the tracks?)

I grew up playing Sierra games, and Mark Siebert et al. have given me a lot of inspiration for what I write, as well. Hours listening to looping midi themes really give you a taste for how to fit a mobius track together. I'm still glad somebody is keeping alive all the music I loved. I even bought the CD, some of us actually think it's worth a little money to hear it again as it was intended... Rolands weren't cheap then, and they aren't cheap now.
