Half Machine Lip Moves

VINYL FORMAT. Bonus CD of the album. 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.
