Perfumed Metal


Well, Chrome, this is more like it.

If you take the swirling ambient instrumentation of Bowie’s Scary Monsters album and incorporated it into the minimalism of Helios Creed and Damon Edge, this is what it sounds like. 

Chrome will eventually let me down but that’s, I think, because the duo split up, Helios Creed basically telling Edge to off off and the backing section of The Stench Brothers also left. And that might have been the secret sauce. Because Edge, while putting out one very good record in 84 with Alliance, falters all over the place with later Chrome records. 


Ultimately, every track sounds alike and I think that’s the point. I don’t know that this album is actually supposed to be listened to as much as it’s supposed to be something that you spin in a dark, dank, BDSM club bar.
