I will just say - you are not alone with that 'discovery'.

And I also loved Colonization - I played like once a year or two until recently - it's really fantastic.

I'm not sure what it is about Colonization, but the mood and atmosphere of it just hit the nail on the head for me, and kept me coming back again and again.

I replay Colonization regularly,and the only thing I hate about it are bugs with wagon train routes that stop me from efficiently automating them, and a hard limit on 256 citizens. That's really low for a big developed economy with strong army.

Completely agree. For me the upbeat music really made the atmosphere of the original Colonization, and the later remake (based on Civ 4?) with its more downbeat soundtrack was much less enjoyable.

Oh yes !

I've recently, by accident, found some of the tracks on Spotify:

Old Joe Clark - Fiddle Fiddle Fiddle: https://open.spotify.com/track/7HgGcA99K6wvF2nBwTY8nm?si=f-A...

Music for a found harmonium - Patrick Street: https://open.spotify.com/track/5vKaYFrSdHcFYsSz9gaDQg?si=pv-...

Here you go back to teenage years :D

(Almost) entire game soundtrack by various artists, including a nice version of my favorite piece, Fisher's Hornpipe (note Yo Yo Ma also has a version)
