BRAIN DAMAGE, released in december 1996, was our first attempt to make some kind of promo release which will present our best work in various music styles. it is also the first release treated as a label production.

Originaly, BRAIN DAMAGE was created as promo tape entitled hARdCoRRoSioN promo v1.o but after succesful entries on radio station’s top lists and making of our first video for phuse we decided to make this an official release, renamed it to BRAIN DAMAGE and made it available on audio tapes.

as our technical knowledge grew, we managed to make BRAIN DAMAGE our first CD master, but due to a cost limits, the actual release was still distributed on audio tapes. however, sound quality was a large advance comparing to THE MIX, mainly because of new technology and software which allowed us to burn cd tracks directly without analog conversion.

after a while, we decided to release it online, so it is now available as module release #56: crs_brd.lha (2,588,884 bytes) or as 128kbps mp3 files [packed in zip files] from original release page – or here on bandcamp in full quality lossless audio formats like flac or wav.

BRAIN DAMAGE presents 14 tracks in more or less 5 music styles. It begins with dark ambient INTRO which announces four 200+ BPM hardcore tracks. After them, the unfortunate listener is confronted with the experimental METALLIC BRAINWASH followed by the dark industrial AFTERLIFE. REPRESSIVE THOUGHTS easilly beats up the tempo and set it to trip-hop/breakbeat pace in the next 4 tracks. Last two tracks are a bit of old-school breakbeat phused with industrial sounds.

Torrent release of BRAIN DAMAGE contains mp3 version of the album, with all source modules included in octamed soundstudio format. you can download it here >> www.kosmoplovci.net/torrents/KOOI0002_hardcorrosion_-_brain_damage_(1996).zip.torrent or here >> www.kosmoplovci.net/music/releases/KOOI0002_hardcorrosion_-_brain_damage_(1996).zip

This version for bandcamp is freshly rerendered in 2014 to provide lossless quality, using original music project files and amiga emulator.

DOMINATOR: THE MIX is the first CoRRoSioN audio release. it was available on audio tape only and it contained 90 minutes of music separated in 2 mixes: acid/experimental/trance mix [side a] and hardcore/breakbeat mix [side b]. each mix contained 45 minutes of dominator’s music mixed live with 2 computers and our home-made “MEDUSA” audio mixer powered up with few gadgets made by our electric wizards which allowed him to make a decent sound output from plain amiga computers he used at that time.

THE MIX is made out of 26 digital modules made by dominator during 1994 and 1995 and mixed some time at fall 1995. the reason why dominator decided to make this at all was to test how people react to computer music when they listen it from the ordinary tape, and compare that to the prejudice of listening to ‘computer’ music. the experiment was very succesful and proved that people do have that prejudice, so we decided to create some amount of tapes see what will happen. at the end we actually sold them all out. the tape has color cover, one of our very early ‘design’ attempts 😉

THE MIX is also available as free digital module pack featuring additional 10 minutes of the music parts not used in the mix. 3mb large module release #52 contains 26 4channel digital modules playing over 100 minutes of music…
