They recorded and released their first album, The Visitation, with members John Lambdin (guitar and bass), Mike Low (guitar/vocal). Mike Low left the band to be replaced by guitarist and vocalist Helios Creed, the band released Alien Soundtracks, the project of which started out as a soundtrack for a radical San Francisco strip show.
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.

Honestly one of the most underrated Post-Punk albums ever.
Alexandre Genereux
Great original super Sound ,👂 the freshness for 1980, it's remarkable & this song had no expiration date.
1890 Media
Great track! The new CD rocks as well! Called Techromancy!

Man l loved this track when it came out. And now, l wonder about its influence on early cabaret voltaire and Gary Numan....
Jules N
@Jeff McMillan l also have Red Mecca and 2 x 45 on vinyl…

@Jeff McMillan Interesting Jeff, and it is to me when they nailed that great caustic sound - as duo. By the way, funny thing connected with Cabaret Voltaire happened to me about a year ago. By a highly unlikely coincidence, an old TAMA TG 80 guitar of mine surfaced on the net after 30 years in another city’s pawn shop back room, and right at the point that l was finally looking for a replacement for it. The second that it arrived at the post pick-up point, l tore open the packaging to (almost disbelievingly) see ‘C V’ carved into the hard case. My ex-girlfriend had pawned it for $40 in 1991and it had sat there ever since, unopened and unsold , still in perfect condition. :)

@Jules N Red Mecca's the JAM. Was revisiting it on vinyl the other day.
I sort of had the reverse experience of you, I got into CV in high school around the Drinking Gasoline period, and interestingly got into Chrome later through hearing Helio's solo stuff. Chrome was not actually easy to get into at the time as the shops had been flooded with a lot of the Damon Edge Chrome stuff, which was not instantly appealing. It was only when I got a solid listen of Half Machine Lip Moves did I understand that I needed to concentrate on their output as a duo.

@Jeff McMillan True Jeff - just had a look, with Red Mecca released 1981. I was 18 and bloody loved it. Always keen to learn. I came to Chrome a couple of years after CV. Around a year ago I was looking at Chrome's contemporaries such as Tuxedo Moon, and other bands on, from memory, 4AD, amongst other labels... Very, very interesting.

Chrome and Cabs were contemporaries, I'd like to think they influenced each other. :)
