From the eJay website:
Since its emergence in 1994, eJay has become one of the world's leading music software labels. eJay enjoyed international success with its first title, Dance eJay, in 1997, and has since gone on to produce a multi award-winning range of easy to use software for creating, managing and mixing music.
eJay is a simple program at its core - choose samples from various categories (drum, bass, string, etc) and drag them onto channels on a timeline. To the best of my knowledge there are a fair amount of mixing options, but I think the drag-and-drop is its biggest advantage and weakness. In the same way that it doesn't take a genius to make a document with Microsoft Word, it's easy to make something that sounds like music in eJay.
I'm sure some would say it's way too simple, while others would say they can do anything they would ever want to. Personally I see it as a nice introduction, getting you started to think about layers and structures.
I heard of the program around 2000, and when a Danish magazine offered the chance to use eJay SE in a contest in December 2000, I tried it out. I made something decent, but it never made it to the final rounds. About half a year later I lost the track due to a computer format, and decided to try and recreate it. While I didn't succeed, I did make these two - more polished - tracks instead (and this time I remembered to save the source files).
