Melody Maker said that Radiohead were like Catherine Wheel as they 'function along a similar catharsis\/contrivance axis, ladling existential angst into skilfully imposing song structures.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eOverseen by Pixies producer Gil Norton and recorded at Pink Floyd's Britannia Row Studios, where band favourites, Joy Division, had made Closer, Chrome marked a huge step forward, honed on the road after the constant touring to support previous album Ferment. With its sleeve designed by Storm Thorgerson, it's as if the album was a dry run for Muse. There is increasing experimentation \\u2013 the 7 minutes plus of Fripp are, as writer Ben Cardew noted, 'celestial and full of dread.' As Pitchfork wrote, 'It's as if Chrome were imported from another history of alt-rock, one more textured and romantic, where it sits deservedly atop the pile.'\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003eThis re-issue faithfully replicates the original 1993 Fontana UK release and is pressed onto high quality 180g vinyl.","brand":"Chalkys.com","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55123940016513,"sku":"1858579","price":28.48,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0056\/8043\/1219\/files\/0805520240444_64A6ACE6.png?v=1766550672","url":"https:\/\/chalkys.com\/products\/1858579","provider":"Chalkys.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
