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)." ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine

5 stars A Credit to the 80's Pop Genre
Naysayers and lead-eared nincompoops would argue that the 80's produced some of the worst pop trash in history, and that it only got progressively worse thru the Nineties and into the Millennium. I would only half-agree with that argument, because of my fortunate exposure to catchy, hooky, witty, well-written synth-pop like this. CUPID might indeed be the Best Pop Album Never Heard by the Slaves of the "Mainstream." I found it hard to get this platter off of my turntable the first time I bought it. The CD with my Walkman is no different. I dare you to listen to "Wood Beez" and sit completely still. I guarantee you the rest of the cuts are just as good. Personal favorites in addition to "Beez": "Lover To Fall," "Hypnotize" and especially "The Word Girl" and its dub-driven twin "Flesh and Blood."

5 stars Best synth-pop ever
Scritt Politti scale the heights of the sublime with this sonically varied, ironic, witty, and often sad album. The synclaver never sounded so good. And how is it people keep making lame pop records after this gem?

LAMENT was a 1980s-era addition to the canon of synth-pop albums from Ultravox, with the band scoring some hit singles with the upbeat "Dancing With Tears in my Eyes" and the mournful title track. Ultravox were in a gray mood as they launched into their seventh studio album, LAMENT. With the band's previous existential angst now pooling around personal anguish, the album's title track was a study in languorous melancholy, where emotional pain lingers on and on. Even "One Small Day," the most celebratory song on the set, battles depression but dismally loses the war. No wonder Ultravox were so keen to escape ...
