Calm electronic clouds are forming and gathering slowly. Then there appear some half-nature, half-electronic generated sounds. This is how this enthralling album begins. After a while additional tonal spheres are to be heard, they are always coloured and layered over one another with fabulous sense of atmosphere. Until the very end of the album we are surrounded with a slightly-electronized piano-contemplative mood, softly and yet interesting intermingling with recurring nature sounds and additional tonal sweeps which enlarge the room to feel this music. "Cold" is a very specific, soothing and nevertheless challenging and even disturbing variety of ambient music, whereby Aquavoice uses tonal systems which are characteristic also for other sophisticated - and not so abstract - electronic genres. A highly recommended album.
