Alright, some tunes were programmed by Fuxoft, but not composed by him. I am
sure he wrote all credits to Jarre, Hubbard and others in the rolling text
which was deliberately removed by Sinclair User... AFAIK those times it was
absolutely normal to convert real music to Spectrum (or Amiga, mainly
Amiga...). As I remember, Fuxoft wrote in his demos that he simply loves
Hubbard's tunes and they are the best ever made on any computer. (I
personally don't share this opinion, but it isn't important.)
As far as I remember, the most famous Sam Coupe tunes of all times called
"music1" and "music2" which appeared in at least 5 different demos and games
were written by Fuxoft as well, but at least one of them is converted from
C64 as well. Do you remember these tunes?

Exactly.
I looked at it, and there is
- changed name of the proggie
- no author name
- no country info
- no description of tunes
Originally the proggie contains a detailed description of all
26 tunes. I think it is one of the best AY music demos ever
written (all 26 tunes were written by Franisek Fuka himself),
and the vast majority of people that saw it don't know it is
from Fuxoft (and they will never know...).
Except for the ones written by Rob Hubbard, Ben Daglish, Martin Galway,
and
Jean Michel Jarre, sure.
(A) is a Rob Hubbard tune (Monty on the Run?). (C) is a Jean Michel Jarre
one (which Ocean also reused as a C64 tune at one point). Most of these
tunes are ported SID tunes from the C64 - and I mean, seriously, all
credit
to Frantisek for being able to port them, but he didn't write them.
I mean shit, (F) is Crazy Comets by Rob Hubbard (or one that he did later
that I can't remember the name of based on the same basic lines), (J) is
another Hubbard tune. (L) is Ghostbusters by Adam Bellin (and Ray Parker
Jr.), M is Axel F (not sure which game), N is from the Neverending Story
or
Starwars or something, O is another Jean Michel Jarre one (Equinoxe?), T
is
a Genesis tune (Land of Confusion), U is another Jean Michel Jarre tune, V
is from a James Bond game, X is another C64 game tune, Y is from an
Indiana
Jones game, and Z is yet ANOTHER Jean Michel Jarre tune.
Since SU 111 is dated may 1991, I see no reason why they
didn't contacted the author. It was 18 months after eastern
block collapsed, so there were no political problems when
trying to contact anybody anywhere in the east.
It looks like it was rewritten by the guy who did their game cheats, so
they'd trust what he said.
