Chrome

This is the defaced look of new-psychedelia. Chrome's music comes from a mysterious place where space-acid rock meets punk and industrial music. Helios Creed's guitars and Damon Edge's synthesizers throw out any possible kind of noises, supported by hypnotic/neurotic rhythms, to create a disturbing and futuristic sound that runs on the thin border between rock songs and chaos. These two freaks from San Francisco shared the same passion for science fiction and their music anticipated somehow the cyberpunk's atmospheres, sounding like the ideal soundtrack for some Philip K. Dick's nightmares. They came in the late '70s, when the hippies ideals had died, and showed another sort of lysergic visions.
Too weird to be punk or new wave, too rock to be an industrial or experimental band, Chrome will always be an unique entity, very innovative and creative until Creed's defection in '83. They are still a cult band, that played only a very few times on stage.
This song was first released on the compilation Subterranean Modern, where Chrome appeared with other California bands like Residents and Tuxedomoon. The clip is very simple but as disturbing as the sound: this meeting is going to be frightful, there are sinister peoples in the subway looking like the Clockwork Orange's droogs.
