Re-release of the classic 1985 electro album by Winston Tong, the cult visual artist best know as frontman of the group Tuxedomoon. Theoretically Chinese was recorded in 1984 and 1985 and originally released by Les Disques du Crepuscule. Smoothly produced by former Associate Alan Rankine, it features a stellar supporting cast of post-punk royalty including Jah Wobble (bass), Steve Morris (drums), Dave Formula (keyboards), Simon Topping (percussion) and Sussan Deyhim (backing vocals).
Many were surprised that Tong could produce a 'disco' album, complete with superior dance tracks such as Big Brother, Principles Of Movement and a cover of Marianne Faithfull's classic Broken English. However the extended CD also includes more left-field material, including epic 16 minute piece The Hunger, recorded with Japanese musicians in Tokyo, and the previously unreleased Dream Assassins, originally intended as a 12" on L.A.Y.L.A.H. Records!
The booklet features a detailed biography of Winston as well as archive images. The 74 minute CD has been digitally remastered from the original master tapes with 3 bonus tracks.
