What is the name of the background music in Atari 2600 Parachute

Best Answer
The tracks don't appear to have official names other than 'Background Music'. VGMusic.com simply calls them:
- BGM 1
- BGM 2
- BGM 3
With each representing the different 'scales' that you hear in each screen. You can download them as MIDI files from the same source.
