Music
The melodic synthesizer tune of Vanguard's energy theme was taken from the soundtrack of Flash Gordon without the permission. In particular, it comes from the song "Vultan's Theme (Attack of the Hawk Men)", composed by Queen. There are two versions of this file - short and long.
There are also 3 fanfares. It's unknown who composed it and where it's played in game.

Ripping Atari music is very arduous process so this is beyond the scope of this site.
