I can definitely see why one would like Konami better. In a lot of ways,
his progress as an artist toward a more polished sound is kind of a net
loss for the listener; some of his originality is indeed glossed over.
However, I think it's interesting to listen to his albums in order and see
how his sound has developed, and Proswell's an artist for whom I've
generally found things to enjoy about his music in every stage of his
career.
I find that as you progress from oldest releases to newest his melodies
become more approachable and enthralling, but his production loses some of
its accidentally glitchy,experimental charm.
