2013 to
2014 have been quite the years for Chrome and Helios Creed fans; first
with the release of "Half Machine From The Sun" consisting of lost
Chrome tracks from 1979-1980 with Helios and Damon together, and now
with the release of this Chrome record "Feel It Like A Scientist" - the
name of the record being taken from a lyric from the classic "Zombie
Warfare" from the Half Machine Lip Moves record. Killer record from
start to finish. You get the squelching acid fuzzed out distortion
along with all the weirdness that makes Chrome CHROME - Tommy Grenas
does a great job filling in for the late Damon Edge on MOOG synth
sounds to make this record remind you of the Chrome from yester-year,
but it's still got a fresh sound... the sound quality is fantastic with
guitarist Keith Thompson doing the work in that regard. Long time
Helios drummer Aleph Omega shines here as well. Also guest vocals from
Anne Dromeda add a nice ethereal touch to some of the tracks. The
single "Prophecy" just fucking rocks hard, and the William Burroughs
intro just works perfectly there. "Something In The Cloud" is another
standout track, the alien synth sounds really give this the vintage
Chrome sound of old, along with a killer riff from Helios along with
lovely mind-massaging distortion tone that he gets on the guitar here.
"Big Brats" was actually an old Chrome song written by Damon Edge, but
never recorded - a funny little tune that will not die in memory, here
it's pressed onto vinyl and cd for the archives. "The Mind" is a
hypnotic trip with searing, mesemerizing guitar riff...... I could go
on and on, but this record was worked on quite a long time by Helios
and company, must have stuff here folks!
NOTE:
Too early in the album's release, so no songs will be uploaded to this
page quite yet. Go BUY the record to hear it and support Helios!!
