Reviews & Discussion
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.
