I’m gonna get you You say it’s over But I will catch you You can’t hide You won’t escape me You’ll have to face me Your game is over You can't hide Boy it’s been a long time Since you promised me your love I guess you have forgotten What we both were dreaming of I’ve been waiting in vain for you Through all those lonely days I’ve been going insane it’s true Since I saw your evil ways And now I want my heart back (Chorus) Boy you told me That we’ll never be apart But this was just a lie So you could steal my trusting heart I’ve been waiting in vain for you Through all those lonely days I’ve been going insane it’s true Since I saw your evil ways And now I want my heart back (Chorus) Your game is over You can't hide

about

Groove-jazz album full of horns, infectious grooves & colorful sounds, effortlessly combining the best of old and nu skool funk.

Quotes:

"Stefan, you know what the funk is about". (Fred Wesley - legendary MD/trombonist for James Brown, Parliament)

"Fantastic grooves, sound and overall conception. It is so good to hear a bassist that has the sensibility of being the foundation of the music." (Marc Egan - session bassist with Pat Metheny)

"Man, that is some bad sh!@£. It's great to hear from a dedicated funkster like yourself. I really love all the textured bass sh!@£." - Will (session bassist, Dave Letterman show)

"...the bass playing, composition and ensemble performance are both high and diverse in musical quality ...[a] combination of originality and roots." (Rich Appleman - head of bass department, Berklee College of Music)

Liner notes by Richard Niles (BBC Radio 2):

"Whoever thought there'd ever be an Austrian Governor? Well, there is one , and I'm not talking about the big guy in California!

Stefan Redtenbacher (rhymes with 'beddin' shocker') is a groove predator who's the new governor of bass an he's gonna stay hungry until brings you out in a red heat.

His bottom end is pumping iron into a screaming brass section, inspired by the presence of Mr. Fred Wesley (James Brown, Parliament, the JB horns). The jazzy Juggernaut of rhythm will pound you like a barbarian destroyer until you're running man - running to dig this terminator of Austro-Funk. Stefan's dynamic arrangements will cause a lot of collateral damage and turn your underway red, Sonia.

True, lies have been written about artists before, but mister, freeze your skepticism and erase all doubt. If you're pregnant, this record will give you twins. If you're the savior of the planet being attacked by murderous robots from the future, these sounds will protect you. You'll still want more when you've played these relentless grooves a million times, but have no fear - Stefan Redtenbacher will be back.

about

Redtenbacher's Funkestra London, UK

Austrian-bred bassist and funk fiend Stefan Redtenbacher is an anomaly, anachronism and a defiant demolisher of the pigeon- hole. Currently based in London, Stefan and his band Redtenbacher’s Funkestra deliver “out-and-out spectacular funk” (Snowboy) or, as UK Bass Guitar Magazine put it, “a near perfect slice of jazz-funk from one of Europe’s great players.” ... more
