Chrome largely abandoned conventional rock compositions, instead employing cut up and collage techniques and heavily processed sound to create a kind of sci-fi punk sound. They made use of tape loops, samples, noisescapes, synthesizers and strange guitar sounds.
Following Alien Soundtracks, John Lambdin left Chrome, and Gary Spain gradually played less of an active role in the band, leaving a core of Helios Creed and Damon Edge to explore their own experiments with new members. The Creed/Edge collaboration lead to a number of more albums, including Half Machine Lip Moves (making best album lists by Wire Magazine and Julian Cope), Read Only Memory, Red Exposure, Blood On the Moon, 3rd from the Sun and No Humans Allowed.
In 1983 Edge moved to Paris with his wife, where he formed a new lineup of Chrome, releasing a number of albums without Helios Creed, starting with Into the Eyes of the Zombie King, until Edge's death in 1995. Helios Creed formed a new version of Chrome with both new and previous members, shortly after Edge's passing. The Helios-lead Chrome releasing their first album, Retro Transmission, in 1997, and have never officially broken up. They also toured from 1997 to 2001. The last released Chrome album was 2002's Angel of the Clouds, which was pieced together from unused tapes featuring Damon Edge.
Both Damon Edge and Helios Creed have a number of solo, non-Chrome titled albums.

Chrome Lyrics
I don't know why I should wait
I've got to find a way
Something you feel inside
Something I feel inside
Waiting at the back door of my mind
Back at the wheel again
Something you feel, desire
Back at the wheel again
Something you feel inside
Waiting at the back door of my mind
Writer(s): Helios Creed, Damon Edge

Love the ragged-sounding production, sloppy riffs, nasal singing and sci-fi samples. Chrome were one of a kind.
Nick
Love the drum sound.

Bought the album after John Peel played it. He said it made Pere Ubu sound like the Brotherhood of Man! I know its great music because it makes my eyes blink really fast as I'm trying to listen to this stuff that the brain just isn't designed to cope with. Beefheart's 'Pena' is only thing that comes close for me. No-one will ever get close again I think. Those of us who were there just have to be grateful.
