Like, I suppose, pretty much any music fan who had a large music collection in 2005 I am engaged in a never ending quest to rip it all into iTunes (I know there are other music players, but I own a mac... what do you expect me to use).
Tonight I dug out my copy of Cold Water Music by Aim. It's pretty much the perfect soundtrack to a lousy Friday night in... Actually it's a pretty damn fine album all round. Lazy hip-hop beats, incisive raps, horror film samples, what more could you want?
The title track sets the scene perfectly with a claustrophobic tune that brings to mind a late night journey on the London underground - with just the merest hint of fear mixed in.
There are a few notable guest vocalists roped in for the album, including Kate Rogers on Sail, a song in which a former lover "could have saved my soul" but didn't...
And of course the albums obsession with fear and death is taken to an extreme conclusion with the Halloween sampling Demonique...
