More Artist Info

After experimenting with acoustic and electronic music since hearing ancient icons such as Kraftwerk, Hawkwind, Frank Zappa etc, up to contemporary artists and bands, Chieng Mai decided that a new, fresh, vibrant sound was needed that embraced all musical styles and encompassed the rather stale stereotyping of modern music
. ---o---O---o---
From the outset, Chieng Mai's infectious rhythms hook you; from the opening 'First Dance', with shades of 80's-era Harold Faltermeyer and Paul Hardcastle styles, to the real chill-out anthem closing piece, 'Last Dance'. It includes the fantastic 'Time Out'; a real "time-out" piece, recalling many styles and influences from the last two decades. This is a great piece of music! From great pulsing sounds such as 'Pulsar', 'Movie 3' and 'Solid Stayt', that would be at home on any dance-floor, to the Latin feel of 'Rewined', to 'Skaface' -a ska beat for the twenty-first century- this is an eclectic mix of electronic music styles which sits easily, for me, alongside any of its contemporaries, and it grows on you with every listening.
