Kruder & Dorfmeister - G-Stoned EP (1993)


High Noon

This 4-track EP was Kruder & Dorfmeister's first production back in 1993, and it is recognized as being one of those albums that defined the whole downtempo/lounge genre back then.

It opens up with "Definition", a very chillout mix of piano and flute. Just before it fades out, and you almost fall asleep, "Deep Shit" comes in, and in my opinion, it really is deep shit. I usually skip it. Then, "High Noon", so simple, so timeless and yet so unique. The album ends with the funky "Original Bedroom Rockers", which ends the album in a good way.

I like G-Stoned because of its simplicity. There is nothing to think about, just switch off and let the delicate, harmonic sound flow through your mind.
