[quote]From the traditionalist artwork on the cover to the intro (a hazy,
spoken-word track reminiscent of Lee Hazlewood), listeners can easily be
forgiven for expecting an electronica/rock crossover album on the order of Air
or Groove Armada. Instead, Aims Cold Water Music is a jazzy, beat-heavy project
thats just a few steps removed from straight-ahead hip-hop. Producer Andy
Turner, a self-confessed beathead, cycles between jazz-rap and alternative
wall-of-sound influences to bedrock his productions. Turner also gets props for
drafting three excellent rappers QnC, YZ, and AG to add vocals, resulting in
several tracks that evoke the heyday of raps Golden Age, but are also tough
enough to survive even on modern mainstream rap radio. Though half of the
standard songs are vocal tracks, Turner also shines on the instrumentals,
constructing a paranoid beat symphony on Demonique with shrieking strings and an
extended vocal sample from some forgotten B-movie.[/qoute]
