This is a 2020 remake of a track from 2008.  In 2008, i'd just been to Russia for the 2nd time.  This time Moscow with work, previously St. Petersberg for a holiday.  Writing this is 2025 is challenging given what's happened in the world in the last few years.  But I love Russia, the architecture, the history, the people (even though the girls didn't like smiling). And even though my friend Danny has his wallet lifted in a search by the Police in St. Petersberg, and my credit card got skimmed in Moscow.
when writing it back in 2008, i was obsessing over recreating that glacial sound from AIM's Cold Water Music.  which you can still hear on this remake.

30+ years of writing music.  now back to lots of hardware to complement the soft synths.  And of course, the compulsion to add the kitchen sink, fridge and oven is still there!
