Half Machine Lip Moves

VINYL FORMAT. When Chrome first came on the SF punk scene in the late seventies, they were called "acid punk". The sci-fi obsessed Creed and Edge, however, claimed to channel their music directly from the beyond, and when 1979's groundbreaking Half Machine Lip Moves was released - an angular and metallic sounding album interspersed with electric violin, apocalyptic tape loops, moog, atonal droning distorted guitar and a wall of metallic sounding percussion - it certainly sounded that way. For the next five years Creed and Edge were a force to be reckoned with, laying the groundwork for the industrial music scene and directly influencing almost every guitar-toting punk ever since. Featuring three bonus tracks - "Anti-Fade", "I Left My Heart In San Francisco" and "Meet You In The Subway" - which originally appeared on the Subterranean Modern compilation, released in 1979 on Ralph Records.
