Yes very memorable, first a nice piano tune and bam very contasting game music, plain awesome!

The game music was composed by Jeroen Tel, I linked to a few of his efforts above (Lemmings classical tunes and Turbo Outrun on the c64). IMO the greatest Dutch game music composer from the era. Here an interview with him and Rob Hubbard:

Rob Hubbard composed one of the most memorable c64 in-game music as well, Monty on Run:

It seems Allister Brimble also contributed to Agony. IMO some of his best game tunes:
