Chrome became an underground sensation enough to gain interest from Beggars Banquet records. Their first and only album for the UK label is the magnificient Red Exposure. With some help from Oliver DiCicco (credited as John L. Cyborg), this recording is mainly done by Damon and Helios, both playing all the instruments. Helios is still busy with all kind of guitars while Damon mess around with his moog and others synthesized noise, also giving his near-last bombastic performance on drums. Red Exposure contains fantastic moments as the high-fueled Eyes on Mars and the poppy new-wavesque Electric Chair, but the whole thing is a proof of what fantastic music Damon and Helios was able to write together: an electric mix of rock'n'roll and sonic weirdness in some kind of cyberpunk context.
