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. -
