Choicest VGM - VGM #236 - Sid Meier's Colonization - Pizarro at Cuzco



Original Soundtrack composed by: Jeffery L. Briggs, Ken Lagace and Roland J. Rizzo

Amiga Soundtrack by: Allister Brimble and Anthony Putson

Here we have another short track that plays when you meet one of the two "major" native American tribes in the game. I say "major" because only the Incans and Aztecs get their own theme music compared to the many other tribes represented in the game such as the Iroquois, Cherokee, Arawak, etc. "Pizarro at Cuzco" is obviously the theme for the Incans but just as the title of the track suggests, it's a desolate, depressing affair - very much the yin to the Aztec's yang, as "Tenochtitlan" is very much a happy theme filled with hope. It's not one of my favourite tracks to listen to, but it's definitely a memorable one, which is why it's listed here on Choicest VGM.

EDIT (15/10/2016): A fellow YouTube user +Plastiware has alerted me to the fact that despite me originally advertising these tracks as the Amiga version of the soundtrack, it's probably not entirely accurate. I originally marked these as the Amiga version due to the source MP3s I used stating Allister Brimble and Anthony Putson as the composers, but when comparing these tracks to Amiga versions of the soundtrack on YouTube and then comparing it to a DOS CD version, it seems these are most likely from the DOS CD version. Apologies for the mistake.
