"Huge Chrome Cylinder Box Unfolding" is an album by electronic music artist Venetian Snares. It was one of several recordings released by this artist in 2004. Along with "Winter in the Belly of a Snake" and "Rossz Csillag Alatt Született", this album is one of Venetian Snares' calmest, least aggressive-sounding efforts. It is not free of his characteristic abrasive elements, but it does subvert them to a degree unseen on his other releases.

Venetian Snares claims the album originally had a 12.6 surround sound mix:

This album sees Venetian Snares at the peak of his experimentation with time signatures beyond his naturally unorthodox meter of 7/4: "Huge Chrome Peach", "Ion Divvy", and "Bent Annick" are in 11/4 time; "Li²CO³" is in 13/4 time; "Destroy Glass Castles" is in 10/4 time; "Nineteen 1319" alternates, as its name suggests, between 19/4 and 13/4 time; and "Chlorophyll" has a compound time signature which effectively amounts to 17/4. Several songs feature recognizable samples from a Speak & Spell and Speak & Math.
