That's what the copy...It WAS released in 1992. That's what the copyright date of my CD says (I have all but the original COD CD from 1992) and this was my first introduction to the world of industrial metal. I didn't know what to think when I first bought it... it was so... weird. but stinkin' HEAVY!!! Still one of my all-time favorite albums. The 1994 re-release also had a minor change in the 1st track (Cranial Tyrant) where in the original ending, you hear a lady mention something about choosing between education and catastrophe, or something like that which was cut off on the 1994 version. Otherwise, it's the same album, minus the 3 remixes. I have gotten 3 of the COD/Brainchild remasters that Retroactive records put out about 10 years ago (Mindwarp, the 1992 version of Circle of Dust and the 1994 COD/Brainchild album.Vaalwrathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02304796313126792740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641187104382142983.post-73709560763880487072016-08-02T14:13:51.893-04:002016-08-02T14:13:51.893-04:00I really need to grab the CoD remasters, because e...I really need to grab the CoD remasters, because everything I've heard confirms that they're pretty much essential for CoD fans.MetalFROhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01663974489543139174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2641187104382142983.post-40652072738615768182016-05-21T08:45:00.236-04:002016-05-21T08:45:00.236-04:00Ugh!

The original Circle album came out in 92 because I got it at Kingdom Bound 92. I KNOW that Brainchild came out after that one. But what month? If it was 92 I would have bought it and had it between August and January of 92...but I didn't have it until the spring of 93. Unless my particular store didn't get in in until the spring. I don't know, but I've spent way to much mental energy trying to resolve this! Oh well... just glad they're getting reissued.

Everything I found online (from Wikipedia, to CD baby, to Discogs.com, et al.) says it came out in 1992. But (just to keep things from not being confusing) when R.E.X. records wanted a second Circle of Dust album, there wasn't enough money to record one, so the label basically reissued the album in 1994 (with a few relatively minor changes) as the second Circle of Dust album, and called it Brainchild. Then you throw in a couple of reissues over the years, and voilà – confusing fun for everyone! <br /><br />Sorry if this isn't very helpful – but, hey, what you want for free?KnotOnABloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01560852606427373884noreply@blogger.com
