There was a rumour about this tune, reported in a Cult note Who's Ripper? ,
it was thought that Coolrock selfcredited for the Fantasia 2/Oxyron introtune
but infact the signature was way off the end of Top_Secret/High-way.sid,
there were many leftovers from other tunes in memory. Coolrock was innocent.
Probably Oxyron guys tried more tunes before selecting which best fit, without
caring to clean the memory 1000-1fff. Leftovers found in the Fantasia 2 intro
are, from higher memaddr to lowest:
- The_Syndrom/Dreaming.sid (data at $1f80-1fce)
- The_Syndrom/Update_Pack_3.sid (data at $1f17-1f6e)
- The_Syndrom/Strangers.sid (data at $1e40-1f16)
- Coolrock/Commercial_Music_3.sid (that's where the data at $1d9c + signature
"MUSIC BY COOLROCK PLAYER BY GRAFFITY!" are from, the cause of misunderstanding)
- The_Syndrom/Wasted_Bytes.sid (long data chunk belonging to it, $1a00-$1d9a)
Top_Secret/High-way.sid which is the smallest of those tunes starts at $1000 and ends at $19f2.

The SAME "problem" is found in Coma Light 7/Oxyron, in intro and part "1.Mirror Vector",
where the actually used tunes are followed by the leftovers listed above =)

Good melodies, great flow and the telephone fx in the later part are truly first class.

One of those not-so-known SID talents.
