Album Notes & Community Reviews

Chrome practically invented the concept of industrial space-punk with this horrifically mutated, mind-bending sophomore record. 'Alien Soundtracks' is an incredibly chaotic, brutally noisy exploration of avant-garde post-punk, violently chopping tape loops, distorted garage-psych guitars, and B-movie sci-fi samples into a wildly raw, deeply psychedelic hallucination.
