So I'm getting back into the game music world and stumbling on some treasures (Silent Hill is...awesome? How great!)

But I was wondering, what's the deal with the plethora of Valkyrie Profile stuff? Are 'Lenneth' and 'Lenneth ~ Arrange' just reprints of the original VP albums?

And a second question: Are any of the Silmeria albums worth it?

Thank you if you can help!

answer 1: The Lenneth OST is based on the sound that was re-mixed for PSP. Slight difference in sound quality. As far as I can tell, the Lenneth Arranged album is just a reprint with no sound change.

answer 2: I think so. At the very least, they're more diverse in sound style than SO3. I was a big fan of the Voice Mix Album (cuz that's like...my all-time fav style of arrangement). But the OSTs are good too. Just don't expect them to be as "classic" as VP1, which is one of Sakuraba's alltime best.

VP: Silimeria Arranged Album is a very good album, I think.  Sakuraba mixes a bit of live instruments with his usual synth.  Some battle tracks are a bit lighter than in the game, but it is still a nice touch.
