This Dominators intro from 12 August 1991 features a Rob Hubbard SID composition — "Thanatos" — one of the legendary British composer's game soundtracks repurposed as intro music. Derbyshire Ram provided the charset, his second documented contribution to Dominators intros alongside the February 1991 production. Hubbard's music was among the most frequently ripped material in crack intros, with his game soundtracks prized for their melodic complexity and technical sophistication on the SID chip. The Dominators sourced music from a wide range of composers across their catalogue — from in-house talent like JCH to external contributors and ripped game music. CSDb records the intro being reused in cracks of American 3D Pool, Cubulus, and Panic Dizzy. This entry arrives during Derbyshire Ram's membership period with the group, which ran from May 1990 to November 1991 according to his CSDb profile.
