I was so impressed by the cds package I received from one of Detroit's finest dark electronic female artist CHIASM (aka Emileigh Rohn). She is the second artist that ever sent me a unique package along with an autograph picture. Now that's what I'm talking about, impressing a music journalist! This lovely siren have her own signature sound with a blend of coldness, samples, manipulation and stripped-down electronics. Emileigh's voice reminds me of 80's new wave pop star Kim Wilde and Bjork. Her debut "Disorder" is indeed a futuristic art form masterpiece. Everytime I listen to the cd, I visualize each track on a sci-fi motion picture soundtrack or used for a score on a sci-fi or Japanese anime television series. You can hear the ethereal emotional feeling of confrontation and the cold and bitter anguish coming from Emileigh. She pours it all out by giving her point of view on the side of things. And she can even rap. Tracks like "Formula", "Disorder", "Fight", "Liquefy", "Isolated", "Enemy", and "Someone" brings the outcome stand point and thought provoking of this excellent futuristic basic club dance release in its prime.
