Family matters! You know, associations of people who share common
beliefs and activities. Kindred could be another apt and resourceful
word to use in situations like this I guess? Always similar and
related in quality and character, this of course the G-Stone
manifesto and code of conduct as we know it. It has always been a
family related thing here in Vienna, like one giant belonging.
Time now for the G-Stone family to share its newest member! Actually
not new for us, as we have known Mr Rodney Hunter since time! New
maybe for the ardent and enthusiastic G-Stone supporters far and wide
that are revelling in the fact that MesserÆs Kruder and Dorfmeister
have allowed another outstanding long player to grace our ears.
See, Rodney Hunter has always been part of the family, since the days
of hanging out with a spiky haired Kruder in the 3rd grade, and later
pulling on the heavy four strings in the Moreaus hip hop band with
other social group family members DSL, Sugar B and the aforementioned
Peter K? Did the young thirteen young olds have aspirations to be
successful after 3rd grade? Well one became an OK hairdresser, while
the other jollied around also as a OK hairdresser! It was nineteen
thousand and 91 when things became closely knitted, the Moreaus
started cleaning up at Hip Hop awards within Austria, and productions
started in earnest with family members doing the creative thing for
real. Dr Rich was well on board by this time and Vienna became a hot
bed of heavenly chilled dope beats for the masses. Rodney along with
the Godfather Werner Geier started Uptight recordings and drilled
monstrous tunes our way like Leena ConquestÆs æBoundariesÆ.
Even today you can hear such luminaries as Gilles Peterson drop this
extraordinary mammoth track at his wordwide gigs. Little did we know
at the time that this excellent production was yielded by the musical
wisdom of the Uptight upstarts Geier and Hunter. This highly prized
musical treasure was even licensed to the Stereo MCÆs label æNatural
ResourceÆ for even more exposure. It was then Uptight magnified
itself by remixing for such dignified personnel of Omar, Cornershop,
Freak Power, Martine Girault and so on. You are realising by this
point that Rodney Hunter is no newcomer, and that this album will no
doubt reinforce your belief in the tried and trusted methods of real
musicians and producers who have learnt their trade the real and
sometimes hard way.
After being asked in the fall of 2001 by MrÆs Kruder and Dorfmeister
to produce and realise an album for G-Stone recordings, Rodney set
about the task of expressing the sounds and stories of his musical
upbringing. The properties acquired during a person's formative years
are most recognisable through music, and the Hunterfiles has the
funk, the groove, the soul and the chilled that have encouraged and
promoted the growth and development of music boy into music man.
Two years in the making and with guest appearances from outstanding
talents such as Hubert Tubbs, Ken Cesar, Farda P, Hunterfiles is a
worthy excursion into the new sounds of Vienna and beyond.
Enjoy the ride.
Intro
The calm before the storm? Introductions of serenity, dispositions
free from stress and harmful emotions. The only way to start
Electric lady
Some would say the grooviest track on the album, and who am I to
argue? All I know is that æElectric ladyÆ has been an anthem in
Vienna for some time with constant plays from Dr Rich and Mr K. This
sublime track will be the lift off single from the Hunterfiles long
player, and is bound to fill the floors universally with uplifting
spirits and plenty feel good vibes. Totally devoted to the pleasures
of the female kind, Electric lady is a sensual pleasure without the
vice.
Work that body
Total headz track? Just a monster groove pushing along for the head
nodders, feet shufflers and hip wigglers of this world. No
confessions apart that from this track does the job of building up
the sexiness and sensuality of a great night out. Super tight horns
and thumping bass lines keep the groove firmly united with the
nodders, shufflers and wigglers. Get moving!
Let your soul guide your heart
And the groove continues to build? If the dance floor wasnÆt full
already, then æLet your soul guide your heartÆ will grab you by the
small bits and drag you to the place to express your physical
personality. More sexiness, more thumping bass lines, more relentless
grooves! You could be excused for being physical worn out so early on
in the proceedings. This track was co written and produced by Richard
Dorfmeister which will go some way to explaining the pure grooviness
of the ride.
Quero saber
HeÆs not going to let up is he? This time singer Orieta Pires adds to
the cosmopolitan flavour of RodneyÆs groove. Catchy synths and reverb
make this mid tempo musical experience stick to the ceiling with
resolute determination. My feet are beginning to ache and I think I
am going to need new shoes very soon?
ThereÆs a reason
And with new shoes I can take on board a new beat? Rodney gives a
glimpse of his love affair with the rap, and Clumzy T and Ra face
deliver in fine style rhyme and reason that somewhere that thereÆs a
reason. One of ViennaÆs finest songwriters and singers Ken Ceasar who
also appeared on the futuristic Stereotyp album on G-Stone, comes
through flawlessly and in adroit manner with wonderful harmonies and
lyrics. Subtle strings by Jig add to the completion of the
combination.
Take a ride
Avoiding the harsh, stern and severe! æTake a rideÆ offers a more
tender touch which is well received here, as I think I am getting
blisters on the soles of my feet! You can catch Rodney here on vocal
duty with back ground and soothing sounds to help find serenity.
StoneyÆs tranquilizing flute also keeps the gentleness intact and
helps affording the physical and emotional relief.
Take a ride (pt 2)
More tranquillity, this time with a distinct Arabesque flavour. MC
Aladin gives æTake a rideÆ a Arabic aesthetic with colourful chants
and vocal intonation. Wonderful how different ingredients offer new
and exciting surprises to established and existing recipes. Again,
soothing beats and pieces complete a musical melting pot of
distinctive aural fragrances.
Find it
More ventures into the alternative groove! æFind itÆ finds solace in
reggae and ska, and no better MC on the planet then Farda P to
deliver meaningful and conscious words of wisdom and glory with such
accompanying sounds. Farda P from the multi cultural city of
Birmingham in the UK is also another G-Stone family member with
recent contributions to ToscaÆs well received Delhi 9 album.
Is this your boy
A G-Stone love song? Yes, and sublime it is too. Ken Ceasar stars
once again and this fine young singer is nothing short of sensational
on this outing. A composed and very mature singer despite his tender
years, his song writing his heartfelt and always sincere. A classic
worthy of much adoration and reverence indeed.
Without warning
And without warning, back to the groove! Back to the eminent loss of
rubber on the bottom of your footwear! Adhering to the established G
Stone groove with bass and bottom end to shake the butts of all
within ears sake. So you thought it would get lightweight towards the
end then? No chance, your feet wanna dance, so donÆt resist their
requests for motion. Ex æTower of PowerÆ singer and adopted G Stoner
Hubert Tubbs, with a voice thatÆs means business, adds vocal
supremacy to this monster groove.
Interlude
We need a break? After the colossus groove, this comes as welcome
relief. Sore feet but happy feet, medicinal percussion, intoxicating
and subtle horns keep the toes wiggling.
YouÆre not alone
With just a small homage to the man! This Herbiesque vibe is the
perfect way to end the musical communication and expression of Mr
Rodney Hunter. We are back from where we began? Offering freedom from
fear and anxiety, acts of blandishing, words and expression of
affection and kindness, a song of soft words and artful caresses.
YouÆre not alone, welcome to the family.
