"This ain't no party, but it's definitely a disco, and those pulsating to the likes of MSTRKRFT, Daft Punk, and Hot Chip should get hip to Wolfgang's indie electronic kind of lurrrrve." | |

"It's good stuff. Plus, he's got a kick-ass sci-fi backstory." | ||

"This release is at first daunting, though after an initial listen it becomes a must have." | ||
|

"Just the
sort of thing to make one either dance or fall in love with a humanoid.
Of course, it goes without saying that this elaborate fiction is also
a not-so-subtle parable about homosexuality, still largely not accepted
in a country where frightened heteros feel they need to outlaw gay marriage.
Thankfully, we have Wolfgang to soothe us with his emotion-filled art.
All the tracks are excellent..." |

Old school
synth fight, like Moroder kicking Kraftwerk Right in the floppy |

"One
of the most unique and enchanting albums of the year thus far." |
||
| |
"Without
question one of the most unique, interesting and danceable discs to come
around in some time." |
||
| |
"This
is not a novelty band and this is not a novelty song. It is a damn good
song, actually. Wolfgang has a beautiful voice and a real knack for composition.
His little robo-heart seems to be broken on this song, and the listener
definitely will find pleasure in his pain." |
||
| |
"Wolfgang
has the potential to be a novelty act. Like after five seconds you could
be, “Oh ha ha an emotional robot.” And then be done. Lucky
for Wolfgang, this robot has some solid indie electro-pop songwriting
backing him up." |
||
| |
"Of
course I know it's not true, but the 'Short Circuit' like story created
to backup the cute and quirky synthpop sound is pretty nifty." |
||
| |
"How
often have you wished robots made pop music? Not just pre-programmed,
by-the-numbers crap, but real pop music, with feeling and longing and
regret and everything that makes music great?...Wolfgang makes beautiful
electropop with just a perfect tinge of robot melancholy." |
||
| |
"The
story of Wolfgang the Robot is tragic and inspiring...the gist of it is,
robot built by millionaire to create pop music, robot falls in love with
man, creates perfect pop song. "Not in Love (Not True)" has
those synth chords you miss from the 80's songs you hear on your local
Mix station set to pulsing drums and then it comes: vocoder. You love
it, you feel like crying, dancing, and building your own robot to love
Wolfgang." |
||
| |
"Se
amate il synthpop di quegli anni, non vi dispiace il vocoder e sapete
apprezzare un’idea geniale quando vi ci imbattete, quello di Wolfgang
è l’ep giusto per la vostra estate." |
||
| |
"Some
fun, dancey electro came along from a new label called Hypnote started
by David Rothblatt in NY. The artist sent along was Wolfgang who is apparently
a nice looking retro-robot. The tunes have a nice pop sensibility and
will no doubt get a few feet moving..." |

"This
song is composed by Wolfgang, an abandoned supposed 1980’s musical
royalties generating machine, and reflects his realization that a human
can never truly love a robot. - ‘Wolfgang's songs illustrate the
experience of love and heartache, of the initial joy and eventual hopelessness
that accompanies unrequited love’ - Yes, I thought it sounded pretentious
too. Then I actually listened to it……the beat sounds like
Hey Mickey at the beginning but don’t let that put you off, pure
vocoder emotion follows." |
