A-Ha meet the Old Spice ad, and Red Box reap the rewards. Pronounced 'Tenka-io', which no doubt is something very deep and meaningful in some dodgy language, this slice of atmospheric musing finds the band at their best yet, with the duo rustling up an undoubted chart hit that deserves its place far more so than the appalling dross that Red Box have produced so far. With Chenko, opening up the Red Box is no longer the distasteful experience that it once was. (Fiona Looney, No 1, August 1, 1987)
I'm a complete pushover for anything with a bit of pseudo-Russian chanting so this gets off to a flying start and continues in the same majestically spooky flavour all the way through helped by loads of moody piano and the trembly, delicate vocals. I haven't heard anything quite so loin-stirring since Boney M's "Rasputin" - and a higher compliment than that could not be paid. (Lola Borg, Smash Hits, July 1, 1987)
