Since September 2002 I´ve been soundengineering the Tiger Lillies for about 400 times all over Europe, Russia and next week even in 12500 kilometers away Macau.
"Killer" e.g. in my opinion is proverbial a "killertrack". Once - I think it was in Budapest - I captured Martyns vocal on the front/accordion-position - on my macbook and at home in my studio did this remix. 
Of course I am respecting the original Tiger Lillies version (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FTKm9TZRnFk&feature=related) a lot!  
My version is just a alternative approach. So hardcore-Tiger Lillies fans, calm down! (:-) 
Oh and by the way: Martyn likes it "a lot!" (.-)

bclausd Tiger Lillies Remix "KiLLER"

If we take a closer look at the thousands of distractions that prevent us from living OUR lives every day, we quickly realise that not a few others are almost constantly directing our concentration, our mood, our energy, our motivation, our zest for life = our lives in a direction that is obviously not good for us.

FoD 01 Focus on Distraction

FoD 02 Concentrate on the Bass Line

FoD 03 Absent Focus

FoD 04 Not What the System Wants

FoD 05 ReFocus

FoD 06 Beauty of Nature

FoD 07 Feel Yourself

FoD 13 Angry Picnic

FoD 18 The Darkness of Your Sunglases

Von klein an hattest Du die Macht mich zu dissen.
Von meiner Einschätzung wolltest du nie etwas wissen
Was du sagst, wie du lebst, was du machst, war das Gebot,
und meine Seele war im Grunde mit der Geburt schon tot.
Zu reflektieren war niemals deine Stärke, 
dachtest du wirklich, dass ich das niemals bemerke? 
Im Verdrängen bist du groß, 
und während ihr euch gestritten habt, hattest du mich auf deinem Schoß.

if you dont take the risk to fail
you won’t get the chance to make it.

Trägst Du noch Windeln?
Wie in deiner Kindheit?
Wie all dieses Gesindel
in all seiner Blindheit?
Kaufen jeden Scheiss.
Jede Werbung macht sie heiß.
Fressen jeden Dreck.
Konsumieren alles weg.
Inhalieren jede Nachricht wie zuvor die Bibel.
Und dabei hängt ihr Hirn noch tiefer als ihr Schniedel.
Und alle ausnahmslos haben wir die Hosen voll,
mit einer Mischung aus Wixe, Schitt und Groll.

if you dont take the risk to fail,
you won’t get the chance to make it.

Das bildest Du Dir alles nur ein.
Dafür bist Du doch noch viel zu klein.
Was denken den die Leut’?
komm mach lieber was alle erfreut!

Was ich sah und was ich wollte passte nie in dein Konzept.
Um zu verstehen was ich fühlte und kreierte warst du viel zu sehr ein Depp.
Und ich?
Gezwungen zu ertragen, trainiert im Hinterfragen schleppte ich mich dahin.
Ein freies Leben kam mir dabei eigentlich nie in den Sinn.
Auch wenn ich eine große laute Klappe hatte, war mein Rufen meist erstickt.
Und nach dem ersten großen Crash (mit 14) war sogar die Verteidigung gefickt.

Von da ab war dann immer ich an allem schuld.
Natürlich schlug ich um mich, aber gibt es Waffen gegen Kult? 
eh-eh! No-no!
Ertrage es oder zerbreche, liste auf und dann gebreche.
Egal was du tust du bist immer das Arsch hast nichts zu melden,
und der einzig mögliche Ausweg ( ... ) kostet dich den selben.
Oh ja! Natürlich hast auch du dein Päckchen zu tragen.
Mein Verständnis war wohl immer viel zu groß.
Der Urknall ist an allem schuld? 
Wie soll ich es dann wagen?
Ich bin das Problem? 
Damit ist jetzt Schluss!

Such Dir einen Anderen für deine Gängeleien, 
oder besser noch, stopf dir die Kacke doch gleich bei dir selber rein!
Du bist entlarvt und wirst in jeder Maske erkannt, an Dir und Deinesgleichen hab ich mir das letzte Mal die Seele verbrannt!

Das bildest Du Dir alles nur ein.
Dafür bist Du doch noch viel zu klein.
Was denken den die Leut’?
komm mach lieber was alle erfreut!

oder besser noch, stopf dir die Kacke doch gleich bei dir selber rein!

Das bildest Du Dir Alles nur ein - Arschloch-Opfer 3 (2023.04.19)

Directly from hell ... Martyn Jaques, recorded during a concert in Vilnious (Lithuania) ... remixed by "Rime of the ancient Mariner"-Soundengineer Claus Buehler ... with official approval from Martyn, who is quoted considering to buy a black leather jacket and yell "I am ready to rock ya!"

Lyrics & Vocals: Martyn Jaques (The Tiger Lillies)

Using concert vocal recordings of Martyn to create totally different versions of honored TIGER LiLLiES songs, stands as far from making the band sound "TiGER LiLLiESH" in hundreds of concerts, as it stands from producing my own tracks. The thrill is to surround Martyn's unique concert situation's sequence uncut, his flow, timing, expression, dynamics, with my instruments. So he remains "the master" who guides "my" band. Anyhow: Installing a "battlefield" around his fantastic singing is big fun.
Drums, Bass, Git, Keys, Arrangement, Engineering: Claus Buehler

LIVING HELL Tiger Lillies Remixes

the inflatable doll truly was his last big love

PAPA RANOID - Oh Baby YEAH !!!

I had this track roughly arranged and I asked Jodi: "How would someone feel, while he or she´s in the process of going mad?" She instantly came up with some lyrics headlined "the gentle art of getting mad". Jodi is brilliant in such things. She listens to some basic tracks and feels the connection to some of her lyrics. But then: She's also able to instantly convert those lyrics into MINDBLOWING VOCALS which fit with the track as if the track, the lyrics and the vocals would have been born in the same second ... maybe they were? (;-)

TOBE - THE GENTLE ART OF GETTING MAD

Tiger Lillies Remixes "Maria" 

Of course I have full respect for the original version of the band. Soundengineering MARIA approximately 200 times during the "Tiger Lillies Circus"-Shows all over Europe, this song always hypnotised me, while trying to make it sound as beautiful as possible. So back in the studio I had to try "something else". This version is just an alternative approach. So hardcore-Tiger Lillies fans, calm down! (:-)
