Scritti Politti - Asylums In Jerusalem Jacques Derrida
Review by HARYUDA PUTRA
Asylums In Jerusalem Jacques Derrida by Scritti Politti is an experimental album that pushes the boundaries of genre and style. The band's use of electronic beats, synth-heavy arrangements, and intricate lyrics creates a sound that is both unique and captivating.
The album's title pays homage to the French philosopher Jacques Derrida, and the lyrics explore themes of language, meaning, and identity. The songs are complex and thought-provoking, but also catchy and danceable.
The standout tracks on the album include "The Ism Schism," which features a pulsing beat and a memorable chorus, and "Die Alone," a haunting ballad that showcases lead singer Green Gartside's vocals.

Summary by HARYUDA PUTRA
Comments
"Songs to Remember" is an essential album.
Class is permanent!
The best song ever written ever
Did it ever get much better?
Great track very underated band
Favourite song along with Pete Shelley’s Homosapien and Blue Rondo’s Klacto Vee Sedstein from the golden era of Leo’s in Wigan circa 80 -82 best club in the world
Headache
Absolute tune.
This seems a far faster tempo than I remember. Great stuff though. Very clever lyrics - but I've never quite caught them all
