I had something similar, it displayed the text "SOUNDLOADER TURBO 2000 by Rivan" when initialized and rainbow-like stripes when loading, but it had another melody (and it didn't make bubbles). To record Soundloader on a cassette, it was necessary to have "Soundloadergenerator", because it had such a particular format that it could not be copied.
@RPKGameVids Your statement "I don't think I've ever heard the computer itself produce music while a game is loading." Didn't you know that the C64 was legendary for its tape loader tunes? Now, a bunch of C64 enthusiasts have discovered a way for even the tape deck (datasette) to play tunes by controlling the speed of the cassette motor. Hence, not only was the Atari 8-bit series capable of playing tunes whilst loading, but the C64 too. Nothing special.
@senorverde09 I don't know much about the C64 but that's cool to know. I always thought on the Atari 8-bit it was only possible for music to be played from the actual tape itself while it was loading.
these 10 minutes when the game was loading up was the "best wasted time" you could have, it was just magical

@RPKGameVids Actually, some of the earlier atari era games would play Jarre's Oxygene 2's main excerpt.
