A Matter Of Time (Hilltop Hoods Album)

A Matter of Time is the debut album by Australian hip hop group Hilltop Hoods, released in 1999.

The promotion, manufacturing and marketing of the album was funded by a grant from the band's local government and resulted in the band once it became successful setting up its own grant scheme for South Australian hip hop musicians.

It was a publicity grant. We used it mainly to print up flyers and put ads in local street press for our album. To put out the album before that EP we actually had to take out a bank loan just to finance it. We were young and broke at the time and really had no other resources to get money. Luckily we had enough money left over from the sales of that to bring out our second album —Mathew Lambert (Suffa)

The album is currently out of press, but is available as a free download from the Hilltop Hoods official site.

The quote used in the song, "A Matter of Time", is taken from the 1994 movie The Shawshank Redemption, where Morgan Freeman's character, Ellis Boyd "Red" Redding, says to Tim Robbins's character, Andrew "Andy" Dufresne, "That's all it takes, just pressure and time".

Famous quotes containing the words matter and/or time:

    It doesn’t matter whether you’re talking about bombs or the intelligence quotients of one race as against another ... if a man is a scientist, like me, he’ll always say “Publish and be damned.”
    Jacob Bronowski (1908–1974)

    Never, my dear Sir, do you take it into your head that I do not love you; you may settle yourself in full confidence both of my love and my esteem; I love you as a kind man, I value you as a worthy man, and hope in time to reverence you as a man of exemplary piety.
    Samuel Johnson (1709–1784)
