He is the only member of the band to have remained throughout the group's history. Beginning as a Leftist post-punk group led by art school student Gartside, Scritti Politti transitioned into a mainstream pop music project in the early to mid-1980s, enjoying significant success in the record charts in the UK and the US. The group's most successful album, 1985's ''Cupid & Psyche 85'', spawned three UK Top 20 hits with "Wood Beez (Pray Like Aretha Franklin)", "Absolute", and "The Word Girl", as well as a US Top 20 hit with "Perfect Way". The band's 1988 album ''Provision'' was a UK Top 10 success, though it only produced one UK Top 20 hit single, "Oh Patti". After releasing two non-album singles in 1991, as well as a collaboration with B.E.F., Gartside became disillusioned with the music industry and retired to south Wales for more than seven years.〔 He returned to music-making in the late 1990s, releasing a new album, ''Anomie & Bonhomie'', in 1999 (which included various rap and hip hop influences). In 2006, another new album was released, the stripped-down ''White Bread, Black Beer'' which returned to the more experimental era of the band's history. ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Scritti Politti」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
