This has to be one if my favourite downtempo releases! Normally I don't like when the music gets to much hip hop related, but with this record everything just feel right! The highlights are Cold Water Music (of course), Downstate, Demonique (This track has some great choral vocals and sampling!), Journey To The End Of Night and From Here To Fame. Thanks, Aim!

When I call an album a classic, I mean it -- and Cold Water Music is a classic. The beats are solid and funky and the samples fit so seamlessly with the song. "Demonique," for instance, takes vocal snippets from Halloween and makes the song truly creepy. Other tracks have a haunting beauty that's grounded by the beats: "Cold Water Music," "Downstate," and "A Tree, A Rock and a Cloud." And on "Sail," Kate Rogers' gorgeously melancholy vocals send chills down my spine.

Aim’s debut for Grand Central. Some of the most beautiful chill out tracks you will hear, but this being Aim there’s more to this album. Wicked hip hop featuring QnC, YZ and AG and uptempo numbers such as Downstate, as well as the classic Sail featuring Kate Rogers. Cold Water Music is an album that has grown into peoples conciousnesses by word of mouth only and is sometimes gritty sometimes sweet but full of deep beauty. There are tracks that transcend the genre of hip hop. From Grand Central Website.
