Aquavoice had once recorded for Generator.pl a soothing, ethereal CD entitled "Cold" - his next album, "Memories", provides the Listener with yet more fascinating moods, some of them quite surprising, some of them ingeniously suggestive and associative, as if taken directly from some surreal dream.
