[Winston Tong] [Theoretical China] [1984][12 Inch Single] Once again a B.side is better than the A side. . Winston Tong, well known as a long-time and important band member of "Tuxedomoon", offers two tracks on this single release that could not be more different. The title track is a typical electro pop song of the 1980s, but due to Winston Tong's melancholic voice, Jah Wobble's great bass and Alan Rankine's wonderful guitar playing, it sounds quite different from the usual electro pop. . On the B-side, on the other hand, is an epic masterpiece in a class of its own. The 16-minute track "The Hunger" can't really be put into words! It is neither Electro Pop nor New or Dark Wave. In the best Tuxedomoon manner, the track is more of an avant-garde and minimalist radio play in the tradition of Japanese theatre performances with such fascinating instruments as "Koto" or "Shamisen" which form a captivating sound framework for the pain-filled vocals of Niki Mono and Winston Tong. . A feast for the ears and the imagination!
