  • "Cupid & Psyche '85", published in the summer of 1985, was both a pop masterpiece and a milestone in music production. Terrifyingly complex technology, embarrassingly expensive studio time and months of intensive work resulted in a brilliant, flawless sound, which singer Green Gartside describes today as "pyrotechnics of pointillist syncopation".


    Under the direction of legendary producer Arif Mardin and with some of New York's best studio musicians, Cupid & Psyche 85 Scrittis brought its distinct pop sensitivity to new, glittering heights. It produced five singles, all of them hits on one side or the other of the Atlantic: Wood Beez, The Word Girl, Absolute, Perfect Way and Hypnotize.

    Genre: Pop & Rock
