Loved that album. But just bought a new one of b-sides and rarities that pretty much sucked. Did you ever pick up anything else by them that was good? | |

I love it, a 80s blue eyes soul masterpiece. where is NWF?  , my favourite track is the reggae The Word Girl - if you like this album get the first Hipsway album, a soul-funk 80s scottish band.

"85" has some excellent tracks too mind. I like "the word girl" aswell, but my fav is "small talk". I love the way the verses are arranged. | |

I Loved Hypnotize, The Word Girl, Perfect Way, Wood Beez and Boom! There She Was (which featured Roger "Zapp" Troutman on "vocoder" vocals)....btw, Scritti's producer, David Gamson, also produced Meshell Ndegeocello's first two albums, Plantation Lullabies, and Peace Beyond Passion...Meshell actually shows up playing Bass on Scritti Politti's last album, "Anomie & Bonhomie" (1999)

 Perfect Way and Woodbeez was my shit back in the day. This group was definitely on point. I still have thier 45 Perfect Way singel as a matter of fact. These dude were pretty funky. We did a thread about them about 4 months back. | |

One of my favourite albums. "Anhomie & Bonhomie" was a big disappointment, however... | |

I bought it, heard the first few tracks, but never finished it I guess I lost interest. U reminded me to hear it again actually. I only bought it a few months ago. | |

Yup! I think he(Green Gartside) was definitely doing that MJ thing on purpose... ... " I've got six things on my mind --you're no longer one of them." - Paddy McAloon, Prefab Sprout | |

The vocals are kind of lacking. Howeever, you got to admit that the musical arragement is slammin. | |

Provisions is one of my all time fav albums (i dont have many). But "cupid" has its moments.
"provisions" is pure magic. I wish that sound was around longer (blame newjack ) | |
