In a fortnight where so many Big Names fail to come up with the goods, this one stands tall. China Crisis are a shy young Liverpool threesome who build songs round dense, inventive rhythm patterns. This is the follow-up to their excellent debut single "African and White", and includes haunted synth, jangling guitar, deft bass and the golden tonsils of guest vocalist Ms Linda Wright over chattering, clattering percussion. Probably too off-beat for the radio, but a great record. And it doesn't even feature Trevor Horn! (
Dave Rimmer, Smash Hits, May 13, 1982)
