│ : : │
│ Releasenotes: As if compiling over a dozen great down-tempo tracks into │
│ one offering wasn' t good enough, Kruder & Dormeister have │
│ also pieced together a mini-scrapbook to partner with the │
│ record. The over 300-page mini-scrapbook helps mark the past │
│ few years of G-Stone Recordings, a label K&D started with │
│ their G-Stoned EP in 1993. Since then, the duo hasn't really │
│ released that much material through the label, something │
│ that this compilation proves when running down the list. Of │
│ the 14 tracks, exactly half of them belong to either Kruder │
│ & Dorfmeister or Tosca, which isn't a bad thing considering │
│ that it's these cuts that stand out above the others, │
│ especially "High Noon" and "Deep Shit Part 1 & 2," which │
│ start and finish this album the same way they did with the │
│ G-Stoned EP eight years ago. The actual book is fantastic, │
│ consisting of various amateur, professional and oddball │
│ photographs of Kruder & Dorfmeister on tour. Also included │
│ are the graphics of past G-Stone releases, as well as │
│ promotional material and tour flyers. There's some really │
│ great imagery within these full-colour pages that make you │
│ feel like a child listening to a picture book on your stereo │
│ while the abstract photographs tells the story. Memorable │
│ sections of the book include K&D pasting their heads on │
│ photographs of muscle-bound, Speedo-sporting bodies, candid │
│ snapshots with friends at weekend getaways and the priceless │
│ image of Peter Kruder and friends dressed as KISS from 1977. │
│ The combination of this fabulous book and equally impressive │
│ audio portion equal a brilliant package from Kruder & │
│ Dorfmeister. Even though G-Stone releases seem to be few and │
│ far between (usually in the form of remixes on other │
│ artist's recordings), it looks like there's much thought and │
│ creativity put into them, thus proving that when it comes to │
│ G-Stone, quality is better than quantity. - │
