Alien Soundtracks is the second studio album by American experimental rock band Chrome. It was released in 1977 by Siren Records.

Background

Alien Soundtracks was Chrome's first record to feature Helios Creed, who would remain a longtime member of the band.

Reception

Head Heritage wrote: "'Alien Soundtracks' is where every aspect of Chrome is at its peak: at every speed and every facet as each barrage of electronic space debris, taped dialogue and collaged subterranean fears all get refracted through Damon Edge’s hypersensitive and distorted mental lenses that project outwards into a crazy quilt of half-caught meaning that, however disjointed the content (which pitches and tosses at every turn), a unity emerges that remains invigorating and consistent at every turn."[2]
