- Group
- Orion — Netherlands, founded January 1988
Released in January 1989, this Orion intro was both coded and scored by Emotional Mozes — Michel de Rooij — who served as the group's multi-talented core contributor. The self-composed SID tune, simply titled "Orion Intro," is preserved in the HVSC. Orion was a Dutch cracking group founded in January 1988 that operated under the tagline "Follow the leader." Doc Snyder's page documents multiple Orion intros, with Emotional Mozes contributing code and music to several productions alongside members like Grimlock and The Scientific Man. The group's scrolltexts reveal strong connections to Ikari, Paramount, Fairlight, Beastie Boys, and other European crews. This intro sits alongside #44 orion-02, a significantly higher-ranked production also featuring Emotional Mozes's work. The Netherlands hosted a thriving cracking scene during this period, and Orion maintained an exclusive partnership with the American group Abyss for modem-based distribution, reflecting the transatlantic trade networks of the era.
