Winston Tong, probably best known as the singer for Tuxedomoon, is a multi-disciplinary performance artist from San Francisco, the son of Chinese parents exiled by the Communist revolution.
Tong agreed to perform with the band as and when time allowed, a flexible arrangement which would remain in place until he finally ceased working with the band in 1985.
Tong's 'sophisticated disco'/'pop' album, "Theoretically Chinese", released in 1985, was "an album of peerless electronic dance pop, the sound expansive and expensive, and a million miles from the angst, night and fog for which Tuxedomoon were renowned." Tong had already donated "his best solo composition", 'In A Manner of Speaking' to Tuxedomoon.

 Winston Tong : Like the Others - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
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.
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 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.

Tong's final solo effort, or at least the last one that has seen any sort of formal release, Theoretically Chinese is at times quite an intriguing attempt at an art-pop/dance effort, mid-'80s vintage.
Most of the album is essentially a collaboration with ex-Associates member Alan Rankine, and if Theoretically Chinese isn't a hysterical classic on the level of Sulk, say, Rankine brings shimmering energy to the album that pays off in spades.
LTM's reissue, as is par for the course with their efforts, includes a fine essay on Tong from label boss James Nice as well as three bonus tracks -- an Italian remix of "Broken English" and two collaborations with Belgian singer Niki Mono.

Winston Tong had been a mime, and brought a theatrical approach to singing; plenty of synths and electronic percussion (when they were still called rhythm boxes) dominate, violin gets some use and two of the songs exceed the five-minute mark.
Although literary name-dropping under the guise of inspiration is a little annoying, working with a different cast suits Tong well.
The LP combines artsy dance cuts with deliberate electronic tone poems; although Tong is sometimes strangely buried in the mix, he seems in control of the proceedings.

In 1984, after seeing her on stage with the band, Winston TONG (Member of TUXEDOMOON) convinces her to work with him, not merely as a back-up singer but as a sidekick with a role of more vital importance.
He speaks very highly of her: "I knew immediately that Niki possessed the same qualities that people told me I have, and I imagined that the two of us alone on stage would be quite hypnotic".
