Call To Confirm Colored Copies Are Still Available
Manchester’s A Certain Ratio embraced the ethic and culture of the late-70s post-punk explosion, but sounded like nothing else around them and refused to fit in. Formed in 1978, the band had various members throughout their career, and a core line-up of Jeremy Kerr, Martin Moscrop and Donald Johnson. A Certain Ratio’s myriad influences created their uniquely eclectic sound, one that the band once described as “James Brown on acid.” Some of these influences include Brian Eno, James Brown, Miles Davis, Tower of Power, Airto Moreira, The Velvet Underground, Kraftwerk and Wire. Mute continue their A Certain Ratio partnership with a colored 2LP reissue of the band’s long out of print 1989 album Good Together, which was released on A&M in the wake of their split with Factory, and the Vinyl Factory calls, “Soulful, smooth and packed with proper anthems…including the saucy eyed serenade ‘The Big E’ and the wriggling acid pop of the title track.”
