Given Winston Tong's interest in art in general, not simply music
in and of itself, it's little surprise that his 1983 solo release,
his second overall, is more than just an album -- in original form,
it was a combination cassette/book release. Like the Others was
reissued as a strictly stand-alone effort in the future, but the
literary focus of the release remained central, pitched somewhere
between a spoken word/poetic recitation and a series of musical
explorations. The core of the original release, the nearly
half-hour long "In a White Room," features Tong's vivid, almost
feverish (yet quietly delivered instead of ranted) portrayal of a
mysterious romantic/artistic relationship over his own gently
rhythmic piano playing. Weirdly compelling and made more effective
by Tong's gift for drama -- the occasional overdubs of himself
simultaneously speaking and singing constantly keeps the focus of
listening unstable -- it's not the easiest of pieces to sit down
and listen to, but rewards the attention. The opening title track
is more of a conventional song, with the addition of percussion by
Daniel Link, while "Going out of My Head/For Your Love" -- the
latter part indeed being an interpretation of the Yardbirds'
breakthrough pop hit -- features his then Tuxedomoon counterparts
providing spare backing. An alternate version of the title track in
French appeared as a separate single appended to later editions,
while LTM's 2005 re-release added two unrelated but intriguing
rarities. The first was a promotional interview done for Tong's
Theoretically Chinese album a couple of years later, which Tong
treats more as (intentionally?) hesitant performance piece than as
a standard biography. "Wild Boys," meanwhile, is the soundtrack for
a film of that name that Tong directed in 1978; though the lack of
visuals makes it unclear, it seems to be a combination of random
TV/movie broadcasts, Tong telling curious stories and, at the end,
some brief, wordless singing. ~ Ned Raggett
