The 'Chaos of Life' session was the single most aggravating time for Scrape (with the exception of the circumstances leading to the termination of 1-k after the 'Corrupt.Condemn.Crush' cd). The whole production was centered around a cassette multitrack recorder that was used in stages to record songs as they were being completed.

The cassette was never really mastered properly due to lack of funds as well as equipment. Still, it was a definite step up from the first cassette release and promised more complex songs (some which still stand the test of time) and better production. The artwork was handled by Mike Lemega of Neurodrone. This was also way better than the first cassette. 'Chaos of Life' also marked the first time I used the name Erik Scrape. Before this, I used my real name. I believe it was John Ashton of Corpusse who first called me Erik Scrape.

The name stuck and I have used it since that time.

Chaos of Life was re-released in 2001 in CD format. Prompted by a fan, I have remastered the original songs and re-issued this release. Above is the front cover also re-worked. Those wishing to order this cd should contact me first before ordering. I have copies of this cd version available to anyone who asks and will send it free to anyone who orders another cd.
