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)."

Initially formed as a punk-influenced underground act, they transitioned into a commercial pop music project in the early 1980s. The group's most successful album, 1985's Cupid & Psyche 85, produced three UK Top 20 hits. The band returned in the late 1990s after a seven-year break.
