On their second album,
Scritti Politti essentially was
Green Gartside, who directed drummer
Fred Maher, keyboardist
David Gamson, and a multitude of studio musicians through a state-of-the-art, immaculately constructed set of catchy synth pop on
Cupid & Psyche 85. The results are as impressive as
Songs to Remember and produced the hit singles "Perfect Way" and "Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)."
