CHROME
One of the original forefathers in the industrial boom of the 1980s,
Chrome's amalgam of distorted guitars and vocals, samples from TV,
and a raw punk aesthetic (inspired by the Stooges) became much more popular
in the early '90s than it ever was while the band was around in the '70s and '80s.
Although active for only six years, Chrome left behind a huge discography,
including nine full LPs (several of which were released posthumously)
and numerous EPs and singles. Chrome were formed in San Francisco
around 1977 by vocalist/drummer Damon Edge, vocalist/guitarist Mike Low,
guitarist John Lambdin, and bassist Garry Spain; each played other instruments
as well, including tape machines, electric violin, and Moog

With Lambdin out and Spain barely there at all, everything rapidly became
an Edge/Creed show in the realm of Chrome by the time of Half Machine Lip Moves.
The basic tropes having been established -- aggressive but cryptic performance
and production, jump cuts between and in songs, judicious use of sampling
and production craziness, and an overall air of looming science fiction apocalypse
and doom -- all Edge and Creed had to do was perfect it.
Starting with the fragmented assault of "TV as Eyes," which rapidly descends
into heavily treated, conversational snippets from TV and deep, droning keyboards,
Half Machine sounds like a weird broadcast from thousands
of miles away where rock is treated as an exotic musical form...(AllMusic)
