We Say...
A trip-hop high-water mark
There's a clever accuracy about this milestone EP's cover, a parody of Simon and Garfunkel's Bookends sleeve. Like S&G, who appealed not just to '60s rockers but the parents who might otherwise have looked askance at the music, Austrian beatsmiths Peter Kruder and Richard Dorfmeister helped mid-'90s electronic music find its way into the homes of folks who wouldn't have normally gone to the clubs where breakbeats held sway. But rather than rock your body, K&D's approach was to evoke a shaggy-carpeted den where the weed was primo and the beats — sampled, in the case of the smoky "Deep Shit pt. 1 & pt. 2," from Skull Snaps' "It's a New Day" — were utilized for texture as much as rhythm. This four-song 1994 EP is one of trip-hop's high-water marks. -
They Say...
G-Stoned is a four-track EP packed with some of the rawest, most intense trip-hop ever recorded. The melange of syrupy beats and languid samples display Kruder & Dorfmeister with an impeccable grasp of constructing sounds, though the tracks seem to wander a bit before reaching their conclusion.
