CHROME

The second album of CHROME. 1977, US, CHROME MUSIC/SIREN RECORDS DE 2100/2200 SEC, made in USA , Original 1st pressing!

CHROME:
One of the original forefathers in the industrial boom of the 1980s, Chrome's amalgam of distorted guitars and vocals, samples from TV, and a raw punk aesthetic (inspired by the Stooges) became much more popular in the early '90s than it ever was while the band was around in the '70s and '80s.

Although active for only six years, Chrome left behind a huge discography, including nine full LPs (several of which were released posthumously) and numerous EPs and singles.

Chrome was formed in San Francisco around 1977 by vocalist/drummer Damon Edge, vocalist/guitarist Helios Creed, guitarist John Lambdin and bassist Gary Spain; each played other instruments as well, including tape machines, electric violin and Moog. Chrome's sound wasn't quite fully formed by the time of their first album, The Visitation; it's surprisingly poppy with few hints of what was to come, though an obsession with science fiction made its debut. Second album Alien Soundtracks was the true genesis for Chrome, spinning around Creed's grinding guitar attack and Edge's tape manipulation on tracks like "All Data Lost" and "Chromosome Damage."

Influenced by and having influence on... The Stooges Silver Apples Followers The Flaming Lips Savage Republic Skinny Puppy Death in June Executive Slacks Six Finger Satellite Darren Brown The Rapture The Damage Manual The Faux Ween etc...
