Description:

The famous catalog of Scritti Politti, led by Green Gartside, who has been called the voice of angels, is newly reissued under the supervision of the musicians themselves. This is the fourth original album released in 1999. It had been 11 years since the last release, and Green's devotion to black music was more strongly reflected in this album, and the band's stylish pop sound was quick to incorporate hip-hop grooves in this unique work. Green's individuality was further accentuated in the light of collaborators such as Mos Def, Michel Ndegeocello, and Wendy Melvoin, and ballads such as "First Goodbye" and "Brushed With Oil, Dusted With Powder" remain fan favorites. ballads such as "First Goodbye" and "Brushed With Oil, Dusted With Powder" are still fan favorites. Hip-hop and heartbreaking ballads sit side by side, and the band's heartfelt melodies and uncompromising musicianship have further elevated the band's character to an unshakable level.This reissue includes an additional bonus track on the Japanese CD and self-liner notes by the artist himself. Includes commentary and bilingual lyrics. Domestic edition.
