Product Overview
Scritti Politti - Cupid & Psyche 85 (CD) Originally released in 1985, includes sleeve notes written by Green Gartside and David Gamson. From a bedsit in London to New York recording studiosæ Alternative acclaim to mainstream adulationæ Indie label hopefuls to major signingsæ Despite the series of radical shifts that underpinned its creation, Scritti Politti's second album, ØCupid & Psyche 85Ù, achieved the virtually impossible. While everything was scaled up - the ambition, the sound, the audience - the singular artistic vision that drove the group not only remained intact and undiluted in these bigger surroundings but became more inventive, more adventurous and, ultimately, more beloved. Cupid & Psyche 85Ù is infused shimmering synths and the heat of classic funk. Yet weaved together by GreenÙs intoxicating melodies, it is also embroidered with ideas from philosophical writings, while taking cues from myths and fables. TRACKLISTING 1. The Word Girl 2.
