Personnel: Helios Creed (vocals, guitar, bass guitar); Damon Edge (vocals, synthesizer, drums, tapes); Fabienne (vocals); Betsy Hill (cello); Hilary Stench, Gary Spain (bass guitar); John Stench (drums). Audio Remasterer: Seth Crenshaw. A relentless assault of Stooges-informed guitar grind, tape loops, doom, and weirdness, ANTHOLOGY 1978-1983 effectively distills Chrome's peak years into a single throbbing platter. The album blasts off with singer/guitarist Helios Creed's debut with the group, "Chromosome Damage," and Creed's freak-blues guitar lines sprawl over the rest of the proceedings, with Damon Edge's ramshackle-Can drumming making for the perfect Siamese twin. Song titles such as "Zombie Warfare," "March of the Chrome Police (A Cold Clammy Bombing)," and "Firebomb" tell you all you need to know about the lyrical content, but good luck digging the words out of the thick haze of effects and distortion. As this set makes clear, the shadow of Chrome looms large over almost any musician who has since decided to cloak himself in black.
