Legacy
Miles Davis covered Scritti Politti's track "Perfect Way". Davis also appeared on the Scritti Politti track "Oh Patti (Don't Feel Sorry For Loverboy)" on their album Provision. According to Phil Hayes, it is believed to have been one of Davis' last studio performances.
"The "Sweetest Girl"" was covered by Madness on their 1985 album, Mad Not Mad.
There are clear references to Scritti Politti's "sugar coated pop" sound on Max Tundra's "Parallax Error Beheads You". He even welcomes the comparison stating "...sounds like Scritti Politti had they signed to Warp in 1991, Max admits, “I like the Scritti comparisons.”".
In his memoir "Lost in Music," Giles Smith describes himself as "unhealthily obsessed with the clean lines of Scritti Politti's Cupid and Psyche 85, an album on which nobody does anything unless a computer says so."
