notes
here's the skinny: assorted rock, alternative, instrumental, classic, pop, funk, punk, new wave, new age & jazz influences, cool hand drums, a celtic rock instrumental named for my grandmother aka - mommy & a true story song about a hippo that dunped on some intrusive tourists we saw while on vacation in South Africa in 2004.
If you like my playing and the sound of this disc, check out LEN SQUIRES here on CD Baby. He has multiple albums available (sounds like dylan, old stones kinks, etc) I am his engineer, producer, mixer, guitarist, bassist, drummer and multiple hat wearer for his albums.
celticafricousticelectric has 19 tracks, 72+ minutes, 10 of them have cool lyrics & vocals from Melanie Storm of Rochester NY, currently living in Canada. Most drums are by percussion master, Jesse Sprinkle - best known for Poor Old Lou, Serene, Morella’s Forest, Demonhunter, Dead Poetic and his own cool solo albums.

All songs written arranged recorded and produced by George Hochbrueckner. All songs tracked and mixed at the wavestation recording studio in Geneseo, NY (r.i.p.) the illuminata in Dansville, NY (r.i.p.) and Bluebrick Recordings in E. Avon, NY (alive and kicking we have a myspace page) Many thanks to my partners in crime and musical confidants especially: Jesse Sprinkle, my studio co-conspirator for taking percussion, pounding & thrashing to a new and astounding level. To Melanie Storm, for her transcendent lyrics, vocal beauty and awesome musical vigor. To JC & Golgotha, my love Nicole, Kate & Kyle, mama papa bros sis relatives friends church kitties doggies puppies turtles & tasty homemade recipes from Grace Seifert (McBride aka mommyo) No Drum Machines were harmed in the making of these songs, yeah we used them for click tracks sometimes but real musicians use real drummers, period. For all you purists out there, creepy crawleys is all live bass & drums on the fly, the walls are growing ears is all live guitar and drums. Oscar the Hippo samples (the guide & Hippo sounds) are real and were recorded by George w/ a cheap cassette recorder on safari in S. Africa. Morocco Maia baby’s hand drums were played live by George & Jesse @ the Illuminata with the windows open in summertime w/ some pleasing semi trucks sounds included for your listening pleasure. Shortnin' bread drums were played by Jesse on a full size pots & pans, garbage set @ the wavestation in Geneseo - long live that lo fi room! Enjoy the healthy length of this album, I wrote so many non lyrical songs over the last 7 years I had to alternate lyrical songs with instrumentals. Live long and prosper. gjh jr. e me @ LPTees@aol.com

This album is a "Mind Blower." George's playing, mixing, and cornicopia of song styles makes it a must for anyone and everyone. Melanie Storm's voice reminds me of Janice Joplan and Natalie Merchant. Her words vibrate the inner cells of your brain and heart. The guest musicians also create each song's original "Vibe." Sensual, Spiritual, Rhythmitically revealing. This CD is an ecclectic "Mind Safari." A revealing side of the humble genius George Hochbrueckner and his music for the world to embrace!
