Glad you liked it!
I was all of 22 years old when I wrote it. It took months; I edited every single note of it manually. It used up the maximum number of tracks that SMPTETrack supported (40, IIRC?) and every last partial that the MT-32 supported too. A lot of the edits were to economize on partials.
Somewhere I have the original file, a copy of SMPTETrack, and an Atari ST emulator for Linux. IIRC the emulator patches the MIDI output into the ALSA sequencer. At some point, I'll re-render it using LinuxSampler sounds.
