ATIC Records presents the long awaited vinyl reissue of Aim’s classic debut album. Remastered with all-new artwork the vinyl version features fresh artwork (via AFU) and 2 x 12″ 140g ice-blue wax. The digital and ultra-limited cassette formats include the stunning, all-new Aim remix of ‘From Here To Fame‘, featuring New Jersey rap pioneer YZ.

When Aim’s Cold Water Music debuted in 1999 it was an underground sensation. A game-changing collection of uplifting cinematic soundscapes, dark jazz fuelled breaks and hard hitting hip-hop beats (featuring guest rap legends QNC, AG and YZ), the album went on to shift over 100,000 units and is now seen as a ground-breaking, genre defining UK classic. Seventeen years on from it’s initial release Cold Water Music sounds as fresh, as inventive and as necessary as it ever did.

“Cold Water Music remains a touchstone in UK dance music… grittily urban and ineffably bucolic” – Sunday Times – Must Have Re-issue

“A dusty, crackly slice of heavily-blunted downbeat magic.” – Thump

“Classic… as likely to be heard in a bar in Ibiza as a club in Manhattan.” – Mixmag

“Gorgeous… lush… Aim’s time is here.” – Record Collector

“You’ll be astounded all over again.” – BBC

“Cold Water Music is still a classy affair” – Uncut
