Search - Wolfgang :: Not in Love (Not True)

Developed by a greedy billionaire in the early 1980s as an expensive prototype robot capable of human feeling, Wolfgang was also extensively analog-programmed with an encyclopedic knowledge of the popular music of the era, with the idea of creating the world's first robot pop star. Essentially force-fed vast libraries of synth pop, it was hoped that the sexy robot would generate huge record sales. Despite all the resources put into the project, Wolfgang was not able to create under the cruel and cold hand of the corporation. The project was aborted and the company descended into financial ruin and oblivion.Approximately 20 years later, as the company's old factory in Brooklyn was being converted into expensive condominiums, Wolfgang was found discarded in a dumpster by a group of young activists, who lovingly restored Wolfgang. Developing special feelings for one of the men in particular, Wolfgang began writing songs for the very first time. Many were floor-packing dance numbers, meant to impress the newfound object of the robot's desire. Some were a bit more despairing, a reflection of a devastating lack of reciprocity on the part of the man. Like the forthcoming album The Wicked Truth About Loving A Man, this EP strikes a balance between these two major themes, although the EP is skewed a bit more towards the floor-fillers like Wolfgang's cover of the 1983 worldwide Lime hit "Angel Eyes". This balance is struck perfectly, however, on "Not In Love (Not True)", which is exactly the type of hit song Wolfgang was designed for.
