Scritti Politti are a British band, originally formed in 1978 in Leeds, Yorkshire, England. Scritti Politti is now primarily a musical vehicle for singer-songwriter Green Gartside (real name Paul Julian Strohmeyer, born 22 June 1955, Cardiff, Wales), who is the founding member and only member of the band to have remained throughout the group΄s history.
Initially a left-wing-inspired post-punk British rock group, Scritti Politti developed into a more mainstream pop music project in the early to mid 1980s, enjoying significant success in the record charts in the UK and the U.S. The band΄s music was characterized by sophisticated studio production and Gartside΄s sly, punning wordplay influenced by his reading of deconstruction (the group΄s 1982 debut album, Songs to Remember, features a song called "Jacques Derrida").
The group΄s most successful album, 1985΄s Cupid & Psyche 85, was innovative in its early use of the techniques of sampling and MIDI sequencing. It spawned three UK Top 20 hits with "Wood Beez", "Absolute", and "The Word Girl", as well as a U.S. Top 20 hit with "Perfect Way". The personnel for this album differed from that of their first album, and now featured keyboardist David Gamson and drummer Fred Maher, both of whom would collaborate with Gartside on songwriting and production duties (famed producer Arif Mardin would also produce three songs for the album).
This new line-up remained for the band΄s next album, 1988΄s Provision. This album was also a Top 10 success, though it only produced one Top 20 hit ("Oh Patti"). After releasing a couple of non-album singles in the early 1990s, as well as a collaboration with B.E.F., Gartside became disillusioned with the music industry and retired to South Wales for the rest of the decade. He returned to music-making in the late 1990s, releasing two critically acclaimed albums, 1999΄s Anomie and Bonhomie (which included various rap and hip-hop influences) and 2006΄s White Bread, Black Beer which returned to the more experimental era of the band΄s history.
