Why specify "1990"? Because Harmony Corruption has been remastered. The 2008 remaster (often included in the Coded Smears and More Uncommon Slurs box set) uses heavy-handed dynamic range compression (DRC) to make it "louder" for iPods. The (Earache MOSH 24) has a far superior dynamic range. A FLAC rip of the original 1990 CD is the holy grail for purists. Napalm Death - Harmony Corruption - 1990 -FLAC-...
