Chrome - Alien Soundtracks

SKU 05-NOISE077CD
Until they imploded (which didn't take very long, actually), San Francisco's Chrome were a cool and punky blend of crazy sounds, noise, psychedelic guitar excess and raw energy, coming across like a mix of The Stooges and Hawkwind.

"This is Chrome's second album, released in 1978, and comprised of members Gary Spain (bass, guitar, vocals), Damon Edge (drums, synthesizer), and Helios Creed. Alien Soundtracks is the first of their releases that would later mark them as early innovators of post-punk industrial experimentalism. This release is raw punk heavy on the Stoogeian vibe, featuring Creed's flanging, scrawling guitar sounds backed up by Edge's use of tape manipulation and samples."

An absolutely perfect example of insane invention! Yes,the Stooges,and Hawkwind are influences ,but intercut with home-made tape experiments,overly effected sub-Hendrix guitar, and dual drummers in the mix too! Songs stop,echo into a crazed oblivion of radio signals,then lurch back into life like the tape itself is hallucinating. Lyrics are close to the unhinged level of classic Faust,too. A real modern masterpiece of home-made 1980's "psych". "Half Machine Lip Moves" is their other crazy one. Why more "heads" don't know about them I'll never figure. Get this and find out NOW! They soon backed-off of the intensity,and became mere stoner/industrial/goth!
