The Music Revolution as Pop Art
Scritti Politti combines intellectual play with danceability.
This 1985 album is a masterpiece that embossed Green Gartside's deep understanding of music theory and love of pop music. The embossed sleeve also became a hot topic, pursuing innovation in both visual and auditory terms. Tracks like "Wood Beez" and "Absolute" creatively blended soul and electronics, opening up new horizons for 80s pop.
