black silk stocking CHRISMA




From the husband and wife team, Chrisma- later changed to Krisma- is the exceptionally tidy record from 1977, “Chinese Restaurant”. Eminently Krauty (think Neu's Hallogallo motorik) on cuts like “C-Rock”, Klaus Nomi-y/mutant Chanson in their decadence on others like their charting “Lola”, psychically endearing on tunes like “Mandoia”, and the heavy hand of Vangelis's CS-80 drenched Bladerunner on "Lycee". The latter is not surprising being that V co-produced the record with his brother. I can't help but to think of Nancy Sinatra at other times or how well this song compliments one scene in Lost In Translation.  Get it here.
