My number one album of the 80’s and honestly in my top 5 lifetime albums. I burned through 3 cassettes. I have it on cd- it’s a treasured album. This masterpiece got me through my early tumultuous adulthood and doomed marriage. Thank you for doing this amazing podcast on a revolutionary sound. Thank you David!💛🎶🔥👏🏽
Those two Scritti albums have mesmerised and fascinated us for decades, conversation upon conversation about them...soooo at LAST I'm hearing the man with the know-how actually talk about the making of them. We got nuggets of info and one or two startling revelations of how it was done but I quite like the fact that we didn't get much in the way of detail. Quite nice to preserve the mystery. I just enjoyed hearing him talk about these masterpieces. Loved his work with Me'shell Ndegeocello too. Peace Beyond Passion is a wonderful album.
Cupid & Psyche is a sonic masterpiece and a watermark in electronic music songwriting. Now if we can just get that terrible version of ‘Perfect Way’ on Spotify swapped-out for the album version.
What a fantastic interview. Thank you both 😊
I will say it over and over. Cupid & Psyche 85 is my favorite synth pop album of the 80s.
Mine too.
Not just the 80s.
I think The Word Girl track holds up so well. It still sounds great.

I never get bored of listening to C&P85. Perfection.

My LP Cupid @ Psyche is behind frame on the wall in my studio. Such an art of its time in all ways🙏🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
Such an influental album! My vinyl of Cupid & Psyche 85 (which I bought when I was just a young kid) is on display in my studio as well :)
Fantastic interview, super informative. Really hoping he works with Green again!
Is there any way Green and David Gamson could possibly do a thing badly, baby? Lightning in a bottle > genius in a recording studio
i like Provision more than Cupid and Psyche. his midi sequencing on Boom, There She Was is stunningly brilliant
15:00 I also can't tell which tracks used MIDI and which didn't. The album sounds very consistent to me.
Damn, was hoping he’d talk a bit about his pop productions in recent years, especially with A. G. Cook and Hannah Diamond!
