China Crisis - Hanna Hanna (Virgin)

This is a very good song. And so it should be, with practically every note and phrase shamelessly nicked from the Talking Heads. Hardly original and almost certainly a hit. A real Hanna horror. (Maureen Rice, No 1, March 3, 1984)

I used to like this lot but I'm getting weary of their whimsical words and stare-at-the-wall-and-daydream melodies. The only really good thing about this is the noise that sounds like a stick being run up the ribs of a skeleton. Shame. (Dave Rimmer, Smash Hits, March 1, 1984)

This sounds like The Cure, the voice is really like Robert Smith. I'd never have guessed it was China Crisis. It's not bad at all, it's nice . . . weird. I really enjoyed listening to it. It's a bit flat, I was just beginning to get a bit bored when the middle eight came in which is quite melodic and picked it up. Hit potential - another grower. (Phil Fearon, Record Mirror, March 3, 1984)
