Last year, EGG Music Records released the first volume of this album series, featuring music from Contra: Hard Corps, Contra 4, and Hard Corps: Uprising. Between these two releases, and Konami’s own releases of the Neo Contra and Contra: Shattered Soldier soundtrack, nearly all music from the Contra franchise has now been officially released.
