About
In the shadows of Greater Manchester, A Certain Ratio emerged in 1977, sculpting a spectral post-punk sound. Their music, a skeletal framework of funk-infused rhythms and experimental arrangements, slipped through the cracks of genre definition. With albums like "Sextet" (1985, Factory) and "A Graveyard and the Ballroom" (1981, 007 Records), they crafted danceable grooves that thrummed with analog warmth and nocturnal energy. The band's presence on labels like Factory and Creation Records placed them alongside contemporaries like New Order and Section 25, positioning them as architects of the Manchester sound, yet always on its periphery.
