Chrome - Slip it to The Andoid and TV as Eyes

I have been unpacking our CDs and tapes and came acoss my copy of Chrome's Half Machine Lip Moves. I had forgotten just how awesome these guys were. I mean this album was released in 1979. So many industrial/metal bands are influenced by these guys and don't even know who they are. I had a chance to see Helios Creed play live about 12 years ago. He looked like a real life Ignatius J. Reilly who had been on a serious bender for decades. The amazing thing was that he could still pull these songs off live, by himself (I think his wife, who looked like Morticia Addams, played bass) using analog samples.

Who knows, maybe I am the only one who is going to like this.

I couldn't tell you what these songs are about, but they sound the way my week at the office felt
