Sophisti Pop...

Remember all that jazz and soul infused pop from the 80s? Well I loved it. Even when everyone was knocking Level 42 etc. Anyway, was just reading up about the Style Council and apparently all this stuff was part of a movement called sophisti pop. Well I nevah...

captain of her heart by double is one of the best songs ever but too bad the rest of that album is really bad.

the scritti politti album "85 cupid and psyche" is great though (thank you, ieafs!). check out if you havent.

steppin out by shoeless joe jackson is another great great great great song.

ive never heard the term sophisti pop either.

scritti politti owns, so hard. cupid and psyche especially. "the word girl" is incredible.

does this song count?

Would normally class Nik as synth pop, but then again when I think of some of the stuff on his albums it was a bit funkier than a lot of his contemporaries. Human Racing was the first album I ever got.

oh shit, haven't heard captain of her heart in aaages. big up.

Would art of noise count?
