Alongside the release of the new HARTMANN album Shadows & Silhouettes (featured here two days ago), Oliver Hartmann in cooperation with his new label Pride & Joy Music are re-releasing the sold out album “Handmade” as a special remastered limited digi-pack including DVD and CD.

The history of Hartmann began in 2005 with the successful release of their debut album ‘Out In The Cold’, one of the best Melodic Hard Rock records from the past decade. Straight away it convinced critics worldwide and received great reviews in the global press.
After having toured through Europe as support for acts like Toto and other renowned rock giants, the second studio album ‘Home’ was released in 2007. On their accompanying support tour for The Hooters, Hartmann performed acoustic versions of their material for the first time.

Since the fans showed amazing reactions to this and due to the fact that the band had felt very comfortable with that unplugged style, they decided to play two exclusive shows in an old theater in Bensheim / Germany in September 2007. Supported by three background singers as special guests, both shows were recorded and filmed for this live DVD / CD.
It is uniting outstanding material like real ‘handmade’ versions of both tudio albums and previously unreleased tracks.

Recently, Hartmann’s sound, still retaining its melodic core, has become more modern. Many (including me) still prefer the classic feel of these two first records, not only in sound, but song-wise.
“Handmade” includes the best songs from that first albums, melodic rock tunes performed here in a vibrant stripped style yet plenty of melody and full of harmonies thanks to the participation of three background singers as special guests.

The production / sound on “Handmade” is excellent, pristine like a studio recording. It has been remastered for this reissue, and the sound is truly full-on now (I have the original and you can tell the difference).
Great songs, great performances. If you loved Tesla’s ‘Five Man Acoustical Jam’, Firehouse’s ‘Good Acoustics’ and alike, this is a must.
