DIRTY NOISE, complete album 2011, Remastered 2012

In 2011 I recorded 2 entire albums. They got quite different in style and genre. The first one was the "Freshness" album, which I published already in dedication to Venus Panthar and James Noble. This one is a Rock album mainly influenced by Pop and Funk.

"Dirty Noise" is a pure Hard Rock album. Most of the tunes are here at Fanda already as single track releases. But I think it shows just another perspective to listen to the album in one go. 

Songlist:

01 P.O.P. - PISS OFF POLITICIANS
02 SISTER SUNSHINE
03 CREATURES
04 TROUBLE SHOOTER 
05 WISH AGE   (Solo Lead by Stefan Hartl - Cheers brother !)
06 BANKER'S BUSINESS
07 FUCK THE FAKE
08 RAT POISON
09 EAT YOUR TRASH
10 INCREDIBLE

Need that simply structured and flat footed Hard Rock sometimes. 

50 minutes and 50 seconds for 10 songs - hope you will enjoy !

ROCK 'n' ROLL !!!  GET WILD !!!

HEADACHES AND HEARTACHES, 2012

This is my very first release of a pure blues song here at Fanda. The instrumental was recorded in October 2012. Sent it over to Roger for a pre-listen. Wanted him to play some additional guitar stuff to it. He didn't  - because he thought there were no more guitars needed. 
But to my big surprise he came up with this vocal version of our tune a few days later. 

Lyrics and vocals by ROGER CHANDLER / Oakville / Canada.

All other instruments, idea, recording, arrange, mix and mastering by 
HG SCHMITZ / Duisburg / Germany.

Roger - great job, bro !   Proud to have you on bord here !

HUMOUR KILLERS, 2012

This song was ready for about 3 months or so. Venus Panthar wanted to create a video to it but unfortunately her labtop collapsed and she lost all her data. Dear Venus, please pardon me, but I can't wait any longer, okay ?

Did so much Funk in the last time. This here is somthin' completely different. It's a Rock Ballad.
It is not often that I have the opportunity to play the acoustic guitar because I don't own one by myself. A few months ago a friend of mine had gone on a trip to Jamaica for 3 weeks. He lend me his Martin and his Ovation. And so I recorded three weeks long like a devil. This track includes stuff I played at that time.

Please enjoy !

DIRTY BIRD, 2012

James and me have done a new common project. This is our 4th collaboration. 
I recorded the instrumental about 2 months ago and sent it to James. He started to play his guitar to it and he did it as marvelous as he always do. He used a Bill Lawrence L 500 XL Blade Humbucker through his Line 6 Flextone Plus combo. 

James - this is gorgeous !! The FX's blow off my shoes !!

We both wish you a Happy New Year. Please enjoy our "DIRTY BIRD" on it's flight !

THE BLUE MOOD ANTHEM, 2009 / 2013

Today Dave and me want to release 2 versions of the same song. What makes collaborations so interesting is the fact, that we both had different conceivabilities to the final version of this tune. After discussing we decided to publish both ones - Dave's fav is going to his page and  mine I just loaded up to my site. Both versions are common productions and don't compete against each other. 

I recorded the basic parts of this song in 2009. It was originally constructed as a vocal track.
More than 3 years later I thought it could also be very fine to create a pure instrumental version of it with monumental guitar solos.
So I asked my friend Dave to listen to the basic instrumental for getting in touch with it. And so he did. After a while he sent me his guitar parts and I had to be spoilt for choice.
The final mix now includes 2 solo guitar parts. The first is played by Dave, the second one by me.
The whole track is filled up with lots of percussions like chimes, bells, cowbells, hand percussions and stick percussions, castanets and I also used marimbas, vibes and even a flute - not usual for a Pop Rock song.
Additionally, Dave played a string part to his and my guitar solo - so sweet !

Dear Dave - thank you so much for working with such a huge enthusiasm on this song ! Before I started to redo this track I knew exactly that you are the one and only for this exercise. Your style of playing the axe was predestinated for the imaginations I had. And I had been so right !

Dear ladies and gentlemen - please have great fun on your voyage through 7 minutes and 45 seconds of our "BLUE MOOD ANTHEM" !

DAVE RODRIGUEZ + HG SCHMITZ - THE BLUE MOOD ANTHEM, 2009 / 2013

THEN YOU CAME, 2009 / Remastered 2012

Lyrics, Vocals: BEN PODDER
Music, Arrange, Mix and Mastering:  HG SCHMITZ


Dave Rodriguez and me just released a song in 2 different versions, called "THE BLUE MOOD ANTHEM". 

"THEN YOU CAME" is the original vocal version of those tunes. It was recorded in 2009 and got remastered 2012.

Ben Podder is the ultimative singer artist. He wrote the lyrics and sang to the song. When the instrumental was ready I sent the file to him and a week later I got it back. Folks - I couldn't believe what I heard there ! 

Please take a listen to the art of singing of Mr. BEN Podder !

BEN PODDER + AGE GEE ASS - I DON'T KNOW, 2010

CRAZY 'BOUT YA, 2010 / Remastered 2012

FUNK IT UP !!

2 years ago Ben Podder and me realized this monster song of 8.40 min. length !

Don't panic ! You won't get bored ! 

The story Ben is tellin' here is completely true. I wrote the lyrics years ago, shortly after all that happend. Ben changed them a bit but the content is still authentic.

In 2010 I'd played, programmed and recorded this instrumental. When Ben heard it he got enthused by and wanted to sing to it. So I told him about those older lyrics I once wrote. As I said before, Ben changed them a bit because the original wording was quite too "ordinary" for him. He's working as a doctor and his patients could get it wrong. He is a gynecologist !

This is another example for Ben's unique art of singing. 

Did my best for mixing a good sound but this time there are some deficits I couldn't avoid. Anyway, that doesn't matter !

And now, please enjoy this little run !

Dear Greets,

BEN PODDER + AGE GEE ASS - CRAZY 'BOUT YA, 2010 / Remastered 2012

SOULTAKER, 2009 / Remastered 2013

In 2009 I recorded another track with Ben Podder. He sang to it and the song was titled "Crazy Relation".
What you will hear now is the instrumental version of that song. Couldn't remaster the vocal tune because I haven't the single recording tracks of Ben's voice. 

So I decided to publish the pure instrumental number.. 

This is a re-post in better sound quality. 

Hope you enjoy the RnB flavour in here.
