condition (record/cover): VG+ (some marks not affecting playing but occasional surface noise) / VG+ (light wear) With original inner sleeve. Original UK edition with one of the most striking covers in rock history - the red-tinted photograph perfectly captures the album's unsettling mood. The 1980 fourth album finds Chrome at their darkest and most experimental. "New Age" is a seven-minute descent into paranoid psychedelia, layers of treated guitar and synthesizer creating an apocalyptic soundscape. Damon Edge's lyrics explore control, surveillance, and technological dystopia with prophetic accuracy. Helios Creed's guitar work throughout is stunning - he coaxes unearthly sounds from the instrument through heavy processing and unconventional techniques. The production is dense and murky, sounds emerging from and disappearing into the mix. Some surface noise present but doesn't diminish the album's power. Original inner sleeve included.
