- Avantgarde + Fantastic 4 Cracking Group
The second numbered intro from a joint release between Avantgarde and Fantastic 4 Cracking Group (F4CG) -- two prominent European cracking crews who collaborated regularly. The CSDb catalogue confirms this partnership: at least two entries titled "Avantgarde & F4CG Intro" appear under Avantgarde's group ID 485 (releases #70700 and #70703), though no specific match was confirmed for this production during the crawl. F4CG was among the most respected Scandinavian cracking groups, while Avantgarde maintained a strong presence in the German scene under the tagline "The Leaders of new Movements." Their collaboration is further evidenced by Avantgarde's scrolltexts, which frequently reference F4CG alongside Censor Design -- groups they co-organised party events with. Without confirmed credits, the coder, musician, and release date remain unidentified. Doc Snyder's page documents Avantgarde's solo output extensively, listing coders including Suicide, Dave, Magic Man, and Jack Alien. Joint releases between established groups were a standard practice, typically arising from shared members or collaborative cracking efforts.
