Just finished this after god knows how long and just wanted to say how good the music was in this game, truly, awesome! The final tune just caps it off!
I agree, the music in this game is more than awesome, and the game itself is a classic from the late years of the Spectrum. Completely amazing game there.
By the way, the author of the music, Alberto (McAlby) is a user in these forums and also sometimes can be seen in the spanish Spectrum forums, a very nice guy indeed!
Alberto is a gentleman, really great guy and a darn good composer too. I love the music to the Light Corridor, the title music is one of my favourites ever.
I haven't played this in years but I do remember it having very good music.:)
I found the game ridiculously hard though!
Its completely the other way around, its a very easily completeable game, specially since it has a password system. The game overall is quite impressive and a unique experience in the Spectrum!
Absolutely agreed. I also completed the game back then (and I'm an awful player) and it's still one of my all-time favourites!
Both Hostages and The Light Corridor are two real gems. Also North & South, although you had to play the disk version to fully enjoy it and not lose the momentum.
Imho, all of them are technically perfect. You can't go much further in a Spectrum.

I've got an interview with Joe McAlby on my blog too here if you fancy a read.
Really nice bloke and a damn fine composer.
Aw, seriously, thanks for the kind words. :)
I had a lot of fun composing the soundtrack. There's even an (unfinished) Amiga 500 version of the ending tune, which by the way I tittled "Hope".
Raphie, how do you know I'm a gentleman? :-o
You'll find out eventually. ;) Trust me, we've crossed paths before.
EDIT: Yep mystery solved. :)
