Found this on Yahoo JP Auctions. Another doujin CD it seems, with arranged music from Super Famicom games, Contra III and Actraiser at least. I don't think I'm going to go to the trouble of getting it, but it's at least mildly interesting. Anyone heard it or the EJ series?

Yeah, this is from the doujin group called "Earth Japan Soft"
Their discography is listed at their site here: http://earthj.net/ej/saku.html

As for this album in particular....

01 Nightmare of kamaitachi (Kamaitachi no Yoru~Main Theme)
-starts slow and beautiful with chimes & piano, adding bass & drums while building up tension as the song progresses

02 Gyaba's last ambition (Contra Spirits~Stage 1)
-grungy and gritty rock, lots of cymbol crashing and riffing, synth parts are quite muddy too, not much clarity on the melody at times

03 Filmoa (Actraiser)
-much different style than the original... bouncy clubish version, mellow-synth lead, less dramatic

04 Empty Camouflage (Kamaitachi no Yoru~Pension Spur)
-female vocal with ambient background, kinda spacey with drifting feelings

05 the Island of Everlasting Summer (Master Takahashi Super Adventure Island)
-different style here too...  slowed way down for the first half, wacky playful synth, then picks up tempo for the second half and adds a little bounce, then goes back to slow and ends with chimes


I don't think this is one of their stronger albums, I remember liking their EJ falcom stuff a bit better

That's a lot of help. Thanks for the info!
