For a while around the turn of the '90s, The Wonder Stuff were one of the biggest bands in the UK, scoring a chart-topping single (Dizzy) and three Top 10 albums, prior to disbanding in 1994.
With The Wonder Stuff recently resurrected with a different line-up, musicOMH caught up with frontman Miles Hunt to discuss the highs and lows of his musical career.
Last year's Wonder Stuff comeback album, Escape From Rubbish Island, only featured Hunt and Malc Treece from the original line-up, while drummer Martin Gilks and violinist Martin 'Fiddly' Bell used a Wonder Stuff web-site in an attempt to publicly discredit the album as nothing but a glorified Miles Hunt solo record.

  The Wonder Stuff - Pandora Internet Radio
When the Wonder Stuff released their first album, The Eight Legged Groove Machine, in 1988, the British press wrote scores of articles about the band, mainly because of the arrogant self-confidence of their leader, vocalist/guitarist Miles Hunt.
Hunt's brash public image was the Wonder Stuff personified -- mean, self-satisfied, self-serving, and scathingly witty.

 The Wonder Stuff @ Leadmill, Sheffield : gig review
When the Pixies announced last year that they were to reform to play some gigs, it's unlikely one could predict the whole raft of late ‘80s and early ‘90s artists who would follow in their footsteps.
The latter two were, of course, part of the Stourbridge Scene, a group of bands from the Black Country and its surrounding areas, and The Wonder Stuff were the undoubted leaders of this movement.

 Drowned in Sound - Reviews - Live - The Wonder Stuff
The Wonder Stuff at Dudley JBs, Fri 07 Jun
Of course, no Wonder Stuff show would be complete without hearing 'the hits', and with recently recruited fiddle player Erica Nockalls expanding their ranks to a ten-legged groove machine, the likes of ‘Circlesquare’ sound as monumentally vibrant as it did when it first emerged almost fifteen years ago to the day.
More importantly, tonight’s performance proves that The Wonder Stuff are as enthusiastic about their art as they were two decades ago, and to dismiss them as being nostalgia trippers would be nothing short of puerile and ridiculous.

  The Wonder Stuff - PopMatters Concert Review
Given the turn out for the Wonder Stuff, however, I can't imagine As Far As fared too well.
Yeah, there was the one guy who came running down the aisles a quarter of the way through the set, intent on dancing hard and singing along to every song, but his exuberance was almost embarrassing (though who was embarrassed for whom remains an open question).
So the Wonder Stuff is starting over and more or less from scratch (though with the benefit of a solid back-catalogue of tunes).

Stevie Wonder will probably never again have the definitive cultural authority he had in 1976, when he released “Songs in the Key of Life.” Granted, little of the music he has made since then has matched that album for its beauty, intelligence, and ambition.
Wonder has always insisted, with the bravery and naïveté of a great artist, on engaging every aspect of the world around him, both politically and emotionally.

 The Wonder Stuff - 'Live' Review | 24dash.com - Music
The Wonder Stuff are never going to change the world like they did first time around but these are both very decent albums and are a lot better than anyone had a right to expect at this stage of the game.
It was a trip down Memory Lane for me but the new songs and the full on attitude make it clear that The Wonder Stuff are determined to be more than just their own tribute band.
The lads had classic Wonder Stuff T-shirts dating back to 1988/89 which presumably used to be dad's but didn't fit him any more, and although the boys probably weren't born when those songs came out they seemed know every word.

 Stevie Wonder
At this age, Wonder certainly didn't have the voice to do justice to Ray Charles' hits, but he recorded a whole album's worth anyway.
Wonder's harmonica playing is already distinctive ("Some Other Time"), and his drumming is pretty good ("Manhattan At Six"), but his piano and organ playing give no hint of his later accomplishments.
Nothing was written by Wonder (though he did come up with a couple of Christmas numbers for the Miracles a few years later), with Ron Miller doing most of the dirty work.

9th Wonder: They were releasing the Black Album acapella anyway, and I know nobody was going to expect me to do it since I did God's Stepson.
But cats don't understand is one of the main reasons I did God's Step Son was not only because it was acapella, but because I really wanted a chance.
I quote, "It's the same way with music." So all these cats that got all this stuff, but no feeling of Hip-Hop music in their soul, their music is garbage.

Wonder has always insisted, with the bravery and naïveté of a great artist, on engaging every aspect of the world around him, both politically and emotionally.
The talk of weather isn’t so precipitate: Wonder, who moves freely between rock, pop, soul, funk, jazz, and Tin Pan Alley, has always been a man for all seasons, more so than any other act except maybe the Beatles.
