CD Reviews

Wry, sardonic, and danceworthy
Kent D. Kelly | Denver, CO USA | 05/05/2000

"The off-kilter Press is most definitely an acquired taste. If you're not in the mood for ironic wit, cutting barbs, adventurous rhythms, and something you've never heard before, you'll be at a disadvantage on first listen. The most approachable track here is the underground dance classic Christianity (not quite a secular embrace!), and the rest is nearly as good. If you're in the mood for something different, try this. It may well change your mind about the predictability of quality music."
The Wolfgang at their best

"This is far and away Wolfgang Press's best work. Since their first offerings of "Standing Up Straight" and "The Legendary Wolfgang Press" (which basically played like garage recordings with ocassional hints of brilliance) to the lively "Queer", which is full of solid, catchy tunes (and perhaps the best version of Randy Newman's "Mama Told Me not to Come" ever) to "Funky Little Demons", The Wolfgang Press have come a loooong way over the years.With "Funky Little Demons", they present a mature, offbeat fushion of funk, soul, dance, and U.K. pop that will have you dancing and singing along in your head long after the music has faded. The lead male vocalist's voice is deep, resonant, and beautiful. Above all, his voice, like the groups complex but accessible sound, is just very different. Every time I've ever played Wolfgang Press around friends, they always ask "What's that you're playing? I want it!"Well, go and get it, I always say. You won't be sorry. You'll be hooked with this opening track, the funky "Going South", which is just one great big, delicious sexual metaphore. "Eleven Years" and "Blood Satisfaction" harken back to "Queer". "Chains" is the best track, an unbelievably passionate, melodic dance tune. It deserves to be an international hit. The brash and high energy "Christianity" is a close second, as is the beautiful and mellow "Derek the Confessor". "So Long Dead" and "Executioner" are the weakest tracks. "She's So Soft" is an intoxicatingly fun little number. "New Glass" is a nice all instrumental lead in to the exquisitely funky "Fallen Not Broken". The final track, "People Say" deserves to be a classic and will have you begging for more.I highly recommend "Funky Little Demons", and if you don't already have it, "Queer" is well worth picking up as well."
Has left me wanting more

"This album flew so far under everyone's radar when it came out, but what an album! I've looked for them on the web and not much has come up. I can only assume they've broken up. I found myself in a position a few years ago where I lost my copy of this album. Finding a replacement ended up being a LOT of work, so if you can get your hands on this CD, I'd say burn a copy for backup because it's definately worth it!"
