Album Review
The Legendary Wolfgang Press and Other Tall Stories compiles the EPs Scarecrow, Water, and Sweatbox, three strong, eclectic efforts produced by Cocteau Twins' Robin Guthrie. Displaying marked leaps in sophistication and textural variety over their earliest work, the set establishes the trio as witty and incisive pop deconstructionists: a tongue-in-cheek cover of Otis Redding's "Respect" reveals a newfound sense of humor, while Neil Young's "Heart of Gold" undergoes such a radical transformation that it even receives a new title, "Heart of Stone."
Customer Reviews
Essential 4AD
This is by far one of the 4AD masterpieces. Sweatbox is a great song. I highly recommend this!
on finding a lost treasure
This has been one of my all-time favorite albums and to find it on iTunes was amazing-looked about a year ago and couldn't find it so you can imagine my surprise! How many blends of Arethea doing "Respect" with LWGP mixed in did I make for friends in the 80's. Saw them in concert in 1985 in Toronto opening for Nick Cave at a bar called RPM - thanks iTunes for a flood of amazing memories!!! An amazing mix of music you will not regret! Respect, Heart of Stone, I'm Coming Home, Sweatbox - all amazing songs, others pretty great too!
