“Chrome” by Catherine Wheel
From the album Chrome (1993)
“Chrome” by Catherine Wheel appears on 1 radio countdown from 1 station in 2002. It was first released in 1993 on the album Chrome. Its best result is #1984 on the Fred XM Top 2002 Songs of All-Time (July 2002). In the combined RockLists rankings it is #7,684 alternative song of all time.
The title track of Catherine Wheel's second studio album, "Chrome" came out in July 1993 on Fontana in the UK and Mercury in the US, on a record the English band deliberately steered toward harder rock after their debut, Ferment. Bassist Dave Hawes has said they had no interest in making Ferment 2; constant touring had already turned them into a heavier band.
The composing credit goes to the band as a whole. Rob Dickinson and Brian Futter play guitars and sing, Hawes holds down the bass and Neil Sims handles percussion, while Tim Friese-Greene's Hammond organ and Audrey Riley's cello thicken the brew. Gil Norton produced it, and he stayed on for their next album, Happy Days.
