	While in Europe, for an unexplained reason, Damon was releasing music under the Chrome name and his own. There's several assumptions: the opportunity to release more music on different labels, to explore other musical grounds, or just to see his name in big bold letters on an album cover. Alliance is the first one of four "Damon Edge" albums. It's far from a departure from the Chrome sound, but there's some new ingredients; Damon reinventing himself as a dark crooner with a feet in pop music and an other in spacey experimentations. Alliance sounds very much as his predecessor Zombie King, yet it's more organic with his piano low-keys and his ethnic percussions. A strange practice takes also place on the album, something Damon will make again on further albums: to reapropriate old melodies from past songs (mainly written with Helios) and recontextualise them in new tunes. That said, Alliance remains as one of the best Damon albums with his nearest song to be a hit: I'm A Gentleman.
