CHROME 'In a Dream'

Channeling Krautrock/Motorik, so Neu, Cluster, Faust, Amon Duul II ... The Velvet Underground, protopunk, MC5? Incidentally, is that the same Lindrum as heard on Moroder-produced 'No.1 in Heaven' by Sparks, of the same era? 'you can see them crawling on the walls, against the floors...' some thing insect going on here... not much more to be decoded via the lyrics, awash with tape delay, echo, hiss and backward feedback '...some with faces...' camp and glam I hope? 

No info on the video but a pleasing fit, lots of chrome for Chrome. Channeling Scorpio Rising? Or Pink Narcissus? More up Anger's street probably.



Of all these things, Sparks are the most diadactic. Chrome, Anger are hard, impenetrable. God, Chrome sound sexy though. Soundtracking Bobby (Orlando?) 's huge flapping nob.
