HELIOS CREED - GALACTIC OCTOPI




Attentive readers might have noticed that the latest Dwalmacat radio show featured a track by Chrome, 'Pygmies In Zee Park'. When Chrome broke up in the early eighties, their guitar player, Helios Creed, started a solo career.
Both Chrome and Helios Creed do have a cult following, but it will not only be these fans that will like this album. On "Galactic Octopi", Helios Creed's distorted guitar takes a leading role. Mixed with a heavy drum beat and Residents-like narration, it will indeed take you to another planet.
Industrial Space Rock.
Out on Transparency.
Available on CD and on vinyl.

I like this.


The below clips offer 'Pygmies In Zee Park' by Chrome from 1978 (!!) and 'Star Streaker' from Helios Creed's "Galactic Octopi' (love that title). Check them out !!
