2 LPHalf Machine Lip Moves + Read Only Memory Digital Recordings

vykr Who needed 'Punk' when you had this; idiosyncratic lyrics decrying the future, blistering guitar swells and from the well-depths drumming. Loved it then in '79, still love it now. Favorite track: March Of The Chrome Police (A Cold Clammy Bombing).

jack_the_riffer 1-11 Half Machine Lip Moves
12-16 Read Only Memory Favorite track: You've Been Duplicated.

Darren Bauler Between the two crossed signals, half machine, read only memory, you have an entire cosmos of ideas, riffs, effects, everything: the psychedelic touchstone, laser-echoed to heaven, a massive glorious broadcast, a sick purple wad of gum that never loses its flavor. Something to be excited by. I don’t know why.

Sebastian Radzikowski Incredible noise rock, must not be missed

Bart Furp First Chrome album I ever heard, and still the favorite. 1979 couldn't handle these emissions.

"Read Only Memory" EP is also included here. Taken together, THIS is the Chrome release you need. It'll mess you up! Favorite track: Zombie Warfare (Can't Let You Down).

about

Chrome San Francisco, California

Chrome in fine form, with vocalist/keyboardist Damon Edge and vocalist/guitarist Helios Creed creating a restless, moody record that often sounds like Neu! on bad acid (see the dark, frenetic "Eyes on Mars"). A prime example of the San Francisco-based ensemble's late-`70s/early-`80s heyday, this album is essential for Chrome diehards, and should be of interest to industrial aficionados. ... more
