    "description": "Amazon.com Fans of Scritti Politti's synth-pop-funk masterpiece Cupid & Psyche 85 may be shocked by how far afield Scritti mastermind Green Gartside has gone since then. Anomie & Bonhomie, his return to recording after a decadelong absence, ranges from guest shots by rappers and funksters such as Mos Def and Me'Shell Ndegeocello to Foo Fighters tributes. Gartside's trademark breathy vocals and spot-on melodicism do find their places here, but are often forced to make way for other influences. Neither a total success nor a total failure, Anomie does display a spark that makes one hope that Gartside doesn't wait so long to record again. --Rickey Wright",
