Leopold Kraus Wellenkapelle - Schwarzwaldfieber
The best German instrumental disc since Beat Club by Los Banditos. Great songs embedded in an outstandingly lucid sound. The unspeakable alliance of Duane Eddy & Dr. Klausjürgen Wussow, Link Wray & Ady Zehnpfennig is taking over the world (Wussow and Zehnpfennig being actors in a famous cheesy German soap opera about a hospital in the Black forest).
"Waveriding without Dr Brinkmann - not stubborn, with a great sense of music to dance and a relaxed attitude toward swing. A standard Dick Dale-style tune for instance is sweetened up by harmony vocals, and guitar and Farfisa organ are daring a touch dance with the crowd."(TAZ)
"Charming and refreshing, this is a surprising hit at Pipeline Towers." (PIPELINE # 60)
"They got a weirdly but intriguingly charming with their free and independently thinking approach on the one hand and the conservatism of the 50's German Heimatfilme (German movie genre feat. cheesy love stories preferably set in the romantic Alpines). What Queen Sissi once said to Franz also applies to the L.K.Wellenkappelle:'Let fly, you sucker!'' (Osnabrücker Zeitung)
"Schwarzwaldfieber got what a 1000 surf combos are lacking: a great deal of rascalness. Refined, not necessarily authentic arrangements. Their version of the Schwarzwaldklinik theme is prove to an astonishing process: Dr Brinkmanns Black Forest clock metamorphosed in an studio in Augsburg into a beat-box. Thats only the beginning, but the Leopold Kraus Wellenkapelle is gonna be subject to many legends to come." (Kölner Stadt-Anzeiger 10.08.02)
"The Official Band Of The German Association of Waveriding - simply put an absolutely world-class performance." (MÜNSTERSCHE ZEITUNG)
"From a realm where likable coyness and and a longing sense of exploration rule, there comes forth a record having the most marvellous melodies getting our fathers to bring out their stiletto combs at their woodclad 70's stereo systems." (GIG 10/2002)
