I'm not sure about the Mac version, but at least the Adlib garbage in the PC version were horrible, so I'm talking about the original Amiga version, whose musics were indeed great. The manual doesn't have any information about the people who made the game, and my old A500 isn't working anymore, but perhaps someone else could check if the game itself has any notice of the composer. Anyway, lots of the music weren't actually new composings, but old tunes with Lemmings-type humorous samples. Some of the best songs in the game were in the levels whose themes were taken from other games by DMA Design (I think), Menace and Shadow of the Beast, and the tracks were just new versions (less samples) of the original musics of those games.
