==Overview== | |||
On the "Bio" section his website [[Karlophone.com]], Koch writes about the release of this album: | |||
{{Karl Koch quote|After a few hundred rather repetitive hours of tape was laid down, and a few thousand records were dug into, the first Karlophone album "Press Any Key To Begin" took shape, finally seeing release in fall [[2002]]. It was perhaps a bit premature, but anyone hoping to release a CD must recognize the 'no time like the present' rule - you could keep refining what you got forever, or you can finish it and start new songs. In any event, "Press" was released to a small appreciative audience, and gained some positive reviews, notably a nice write up in France's Rock Sound magazine, and an A- review at In Music We Trust, in [[2003]].|[[Karlophone.com]]<ref>[[Karl Koch|Koch, Karl]]. ''Bio''. Karlophone.com. Archived from the original on Weezerpedia at [[Karlophone.com - Bio]].</ref>}} | |||
Additionally, on the [[Amorphous Records]] listing for the album, he writes: | |||
{{Karl Koch quote|There are some fantastic underground producers on the scene these days, and unfortunately I don't know those guys. So here's what I've been coming up with...If I can get anyone to smile when they hear this stuff, then I've done my job for the day.|[[Amorphous Records]]<ref>[[Karl Koch|Koch, Karl]] (as karlophone).

The album released on CD through Koch and {{PN|Pat Finn}} label [[Amorphous Records]], as well as on digital music streaming platforms. It had one single, "[[Desire]]", which received a standalone 7"-vinyl release later in [[2004]] by the same label. | |||
