JCH's "L.L.L." — one of his more obscure compositions — provides the soundtrack for this mid-1988 Ikari intro. The Mercenary Cracker contributed the charset, the same handle appearing across #35 Beastie Boys and other German-connected groups. No coder is credited on CSDb. Released on 12 July 1988, this is one of many intros Ikari produced during their most prolific summer. Doc Snyder's page preserves the credits. The HVSC catalogues Huus's composition. By July 1988, JCH had become Ikari's most consistent musical contributor — his name appearing across the majority of their numbered intros from this period. The partnership between a Danish musician and a British cracking group, facilitated by The Mercenary Cracker's German connections, exemplifies the triangular UK-Scandinavia-Germany axis that powered the scene.
