Chrome - Meet You in the Subway


Chrome was an experimental rock group founded in San Francisco, California in 1976.

Chrome took part of their inspiration for their rough and sometimes chaotic music from proto-punk pioneers like The Stooges. The sound of the group was often coarse and featured heavy elements of feedback and distortion. Their experiments in mixing synthesized noise with rock instrumentation have been cited as a forerunner of industrial rock music

In about 1990 one of my friends brought a copy of Half Machine Lip Moves (1979) into my life. It was a revelation. We would listen to it over and over again, usually in advanced states of internal ambiance, trying to place the material into the wider contexts of our realities. It was basically hopeless, we gave up and just appreciated the total originality, phrasing and general genius of Helios Creed and his band of crazed comrades.
