180 gram LP + printed inner with lyrics and bonus CD of the album.
Humans are the cancer of the planet.all people have untapped psychic powers...acid is good.aliens exist.these are just some of the ideas that the pioneering San Francisco band Chrome was grappling with in its music, labeled "acid punk" by the press in a desperate attempt to categorize them. Comparing them to everyone from Pere Ubu, to the Residents, to Devo, to Can, to Eno, the reality was that no one knew really knew where they fit in.perhaps because they really were channeling their music from some distant alien planet. In fact, Chromes founder, Damon Edge, described himself as having something he called "clairaudient syndrome", a condition that allows you to "hear something before it happens".meaning that he would first hear the music in his head, and then "channel" it onto tape.. and perhaps that explains the music in this LP. For Chrome aficionados this album is more ambient and droning than previous albums, except for the Devo-esque "Electric Chair"- and one wonders if they didnt write this song to poke fun at the band. Featuring three bonus tracks: "In A Dream" and "Danger Zone" both taken from their 1981 12" "Inworlds single". and "Informations", taken from the b-side of their rare "New Age" 7" released in 1980.
