Synopsis

Amazon.com

Fans of Scritti Politti's synth-pop-funk masterpiece Cupid & Psyche 85 may be shocked by how far afield Scritti mastermind Green Gartside has gone since then. Anomie & Bonhomie, his return to recording after a decadelong absence, ranges from guest shots by rappers and funksters such as Mos Def and Me'Shell Ndegeocello to Foo Fighters tributes. Gartside's trademark breathy vocals and spot-on melodicism do find their places here, but are often forced to make way for other influences. Neither a total success nor a total failure, Anomie does display a spark that makes one hope that Gartside doesn't wait so long to record again. --Rickey Wright

CD Reviews

One of my all-time favorite CDs

Francis Heaney | Brooklyn, NY | 11/16/2006

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Many reviewers here have complained that this CD doesn't sound like Scritti Politti. But when has Scritti Politti ever stuck to one style? Before the synth-heavy new wave of "Cupid and Psyche" and "Provision", there was the experimental punk-pop now collected on "Early" and the acoustic alternasoul of "Songs to Remember". Why would anyone expect a new album from Scritti to sound anything like what had come before? This is filled with incredibly catchy, funky songs that constantly take unexpected musical turns. "Umm", "Die Alone", "The World You Understand..." and "Here Come July" are particular standouts. If you don't like hip-hop, you may get tired of the guest rappers (who are hardly as ubiquitous as some reviewers have complained) -- but I'm not such a hip-hop fan either, and I really enjoy the rap numbers on this CD. Given how cheap it is to acquire a used copy of this album, you really have no excuse not to buy it."
