Description

Anomie & Bonhomie: Originally released in 1999 and only on CD, never released on vinyl. Includes sleeve notes written by Green Gartside and David Gamson.

11 years after the release of previous album Provision, Scritti Politti erupted back into life with 1999s Anomie & Bonhomie. Recalibrated, re-evaluated, re-imagined and, eventually, rewarded, Anomie & Bonhomie is the heady results of this artistic rebirth. Illuminated by the bands stylish pure pop spotlight, collaborations with Mos Def, Lee Majors and Wendy Melvoin give the record a neon-lit, nocturnal shimmer. Hip-hop flourishes sit side-by-side with heart-hitting balladry, as truly touching melodies match moments of uncompromising musical grit with their emotional impact.
