Also known as the 'Human League jingle', this brief piece of music was used extensively in the group's early days, at live shows and on demo cassettes. Intended as a kind of 'signature tune', it consisted of a few minatory chimes and other-worldly voices, and would be used between songs.
At the League's early live shows, the jingle was played after almost every song, which the group probably realised was over-repetitive. The jingle was soon dropped, but later reappeared in the opening section of the album version of Circus Of Death.
Note: another 'Dominion'-related recording has recently been discovered in The Human League's vaults - a mock advertisement for Dominion ("the drug which gives the clown power" in Circus Of Death). This is apparently hilarious and was to have been included on Reproduction, but was never included on the final release.
Released unofficially on In Darkness (bootleg), and officially on some editions of the 'Human League cassette' and on Reproduction (as part of Circus Of Death), and also on The Golden Hour Of The Future
Also included on the 'Taverner tape'
