Cornea is Sywnthkrawft's first studio album, released in 2006. The album consists of rerecorded and rearranged songs from early recording sessions in 2005. The album have been described as "space romance" and "ambient movie score music". Followed by the release of the album they had a concert at Caoz in Borlänge, later released on the bootleg Caoz at Chaos.

Outtakes

Many of the songs on the album were inspired by some early recordings made in 2005 by the band. Some of the songs were not rearranged and not rerecorded for this album, these were:

• The Greeting (studio version was never released, but they've performed it live once with lyrics and vocals by William Johansson. Live version was released on Caoz at Chaos)
• Extermination (studio version was never released, but they've performed it live once with lyrics and vocals by William Johansson. Live version was released on Caoz at Chaos)
• Afrika (was rehearsed for the Chaos at Caoz concert but were never played. Never commercially released, circulating. The outtake contains lyrics and vocals by Daniel Thyberg and William Johansson)
• World Wide Train (never commercially released, not circulating)
• Paul Newman (later reworked for the upcoming album "Goodbye, Spaceblade", but as it seems now it won't be featured on that album either)

Also, alternate live versions from their concert at Caoz in Borlänge exists. They were released on the bootleg Caoz at Chaos. Most notably among these live recordings were.
