All tracks programmed in Chaos 09/96 - 01/98 Additional programming at Station Q 04-05/98 Recorded, mixed and mastered @ Station Q 04-05/98 Produced by LQ and Erik This recording was made using analog synthesis as well as digital. Certain pops and hiss may be noticeable. The 'Corrupt.Condemn.Crush' sessions were initially like a breath of fresh air. Sharing production with LQ of Angry White Mob, the scope had the potential to be widened and to really let Scrape move into uncharted regions. The sound that resulted (the whole thing was recorded at his home studio), while being very clean and sharp, also lacked the very essence of what Scrape was---noise. This is not to say that all the album is without merit.

Many have compared it to minimalist bands such as Klinik. The sound for this release was very compressed and pushed the envelope of loudness (check out that kick drum!). Songs such as 'Languish' (a personal favourite) are still in the Scrape live set but the sound as a whole left something to be desired by some. The artwork was done very expertly by Rafael Maliba (who later became my sound engineer and is now basically a member). Initially the front cover was blue, but all parties felt that it should be more fiery and harsh so the cover took on a more yellow/orange cast.

The actual image is my own dental x-ray scanned in and manipulated by Rafael. Some people have seen all sorts of images in there (an unnamed person saw what seemed to be two people having sexual intercourse-->I still don't see that in there but hey, to each their own). One of the unreleased songs was a piece called 'Disregarded Agony'. It was sung by 1-k but didn't make the album because it didn't fit in with the rest of the songs. If anyone wants to hear this, email me and i'll talk it over with 1-k and perhaps we'll make it available.
