Chasms Accord is the second and final studio album by experimental ensemble Rhythm & Noise, released in 1985 through Ralph Records.
Ted Mill of Allmusic noted that Chasms Accord is mellower than the previous record, saying that this "keyboard-heavy album throbs darkly, but rarely jumps out at you, content instead to muse upon murky, half-completed ideas." Ira Robbins of the Trouser Press described Chasms Accord as being "high on drama and low on intentional ugliness, making it a vivid and apropos match for the stress of modern life" and that it "could serve as the soundtrack to any number of offbeat films."[1]
In 1996, Asphodel Records re-issued the album on CD as a compilation. In addition to various tracks from Chasms Accord, it contains early unreleased compositions and four tracks from Contents Under Notice.
