Colonization Intro Music Comparison

MicroProses Sid Meiers Colonization Intro in 5 different Versions.
All emulated via ykhwong's DosBox.
Start - Emulated Device - Setup Device - Interesting Point
0:00 - win32 - General Midi - 0:25
2:22 - MT32 - General Midi - 2:46
4:43 - Sound Blaster 16 - Sound Blaster (later) - 5:09
7:06 - MT32 - Adlib - 7:30
9:28 - MT32 - LAPC-1/CM32-L - 9:50

What I know I am missing is the Windows Version which I heard would have different Music and the Amiga Music, which for itself got a unique Sound.

Also note that there seems to be an Error with General Midi which somehow doesnt kill the loop after the Landing.

hm.. If I should do the same for the whole Soundtrack or at least all MT32 Versions. Is there a Copyright on the Songs in the Game anyway?
