"Hypnotize" was released as a single and also appeared on the "Cupid & Psyche 85" album, an era that saw Scritti Politti mixing their brand of sophisti-pop with synth-pop. The amazing thing about "Hypnotize" is that it sounds like a modern day vaporwave track, something that was crafted from a few dozen samples of 80s yacht-rock and post-disco records. The production here is glitchy and over the top, with pre-pubescent vocals, midi slap bass, and punchy synths. Scritti Politti somehow managed to create something that was both ahead of its time and also a future-past time capsule.
