About this deal

THE LONG-AWAITED VINYL REISSUE OF AIM’S CLASSIC DEBUT ALBUM 'COLD WATER MUSIC'. REMASTERED FROM THE ORIGINAL TAPES. RELEASE FORMATS : VINYL (2X12” 140g ICE-BLUE WAX) / DIGITAL / LIMITED EDITION COMPACT CASSETTE. In 2004 Andy left Grand Central and, along with Niko and ex GC label manager Iain Cooke, set up ATIC Records. He released his fourth Aim album ‘ Flight 602’ in 2006 and toured extensively with his live band, selling out Shepherd’s Bush Empire and smashing Glastonbury along the way. ‘ Flight 602’ cemented Aim’s reputation as one of the UK’s leading underground artists, achieving a kind of cult following whilst bridging the impossible void between creative independence and inescapability. saw the release of Aim’s first ‘best-of’ compilation. ’ Drum Machines & VHS Dreams’. Mixmag called it “ a timeless retrospective of [Aim’s] best beats… reminding us of the haunting crisp aesthetics and cinematic breaks and samples that defined an era,” whilst Record Collector lamented “ as we reach the mid-point of the album, it [Cold Water Music] rises from the surrounding countryside like a national monument to melancholia.”

When Aim’s Cold Water Music dropped in 1999 on cult Manchester label Grand Central Records, it was an underground sensation. Preceded by a string of well received 12”s and EP’s the album was eagerly anticipated and Aim delivered in a big way, elevating his trademark sound to new heights with a collection of uplifting cinematic soundscapes, dark jazz fuelled breaks and hard hitting hip-hop beats (featuring guest rap legends QNC, AG and YZ). Uniquely, there was a sense of nostalgic sentimentality running through the record and the whole thing was underpinned by a musicality often missing in sample based production. Pushed on by organic, word-of-mouth promotion and the success of the Aim Live band that sold out Shepherds Bush Empire and smashed Glastonbury’s Jazz World stage in 2007, Cold Water Music went on to shift over 100,000 units and is now seen as a ground-breaking, genre defining UK classic that has inspired legions of bedroom beat-makers. Every now and then an album comes along that both resonates and endures. An album that stays with those first to hear it and one that is discovered and treasured by generations to follow. Seventeen years on from it’s initial release Cold Water Music sounds as fresh, as inventive and as necessary as it ever did.
