This September 1990 crack intro from the Austrian group Lazer was coded by The Mysterious Art — a member who also handled graphics for several Lazer productions — with the SID tune "Ride on the Wind" by Deek, real name Richard Rinn, archived in the HVSC. Lazer, founded in July 1988 with the abbreviation "LZR," declared itself "Absolutely No.1 in Austria" and maintained a strong presence in the European cracking scene. Doc Snyder's page documents multiple Lazer intros, showing The Mysterious Art as one of the group's primary coders alongside Jack Ready, The Edge, and others. The group also cooperated with Actual for joint releases. Lazer is additionally represented at #464 Lazer Intro #1 in this collection. The scrolltext from other Lazer intros references a network of contacts across Europe, including a Vienna-based party organized jointly with Cosmos. The intro received a comment on intros.c64.org in September 2009.
