Our Take

Ah, A Certain Ratio. The Manchester band that's been churning out funky, experimental tunes since the late '70s. Their latest offering, "Berlin", is a fascinating blend of post-punk, electronic, and just a touch of jazz.

From the moment the needle hits the coloured vinyl, you're transported to a world where anything goes. The opening track, "Berlin", sets the tone with its pulsating bassline and hypnotic rhythms. It's a perfect introduction to what ACR are all about - pushing boundaries and challenging expectations.

As the album progresses, you're taken on a journey through various sonic landscapes. "Dirty Boy" is a gritty, industrial track that wouldn't be out of place on a rave in a derelict warehouse. Meanwhile, "Make It Happen" is a more laid-back affair, with its smooth grooves and dreamy synths.

But what really sets "Berlin" apart is its attention to detail. The production is immaculate, with every sound meticulously crafted to create a truly immersive listening experience. It's clear that ACR have honed their skills over the years, and it shows in every note.

Overall, "Berlin" is a triumph for A Certain Ratio. It's a bold, adventurous album that showcases the band's versatility and creativity. So do yourself a favour and give it a spin - you won't be disappointed.

About the artist

A Certain Ratio

A Certain Ratio, the eccentric British post-punk band hailing from Manchester, have been thrilling audiences since the late 1970s with their unique blend of funk, soul, and jazz-infused grooves. Formed by Jeremy Kerr, Martin Moscrop, and Peter Terrell, the band quickly gained a reputation for their infectious energy and genre-defying sound. Their early albums, "To Each..." and "Sextet", showcased their experimental approach to music, incorporating elements of dub and electronic music that set them apart from their peers. With their funky basslines, jazzy horns, and hypnotic rhythms, A Certain Ratio swiftly became a favorite among the UK underground scene. Despite never achieving mainstream success, A Certain Ratio's influence can be heard in the work of bands like LCD Soundsystem, Talking Heads, and The Happy Mondays. Their groundbreaking live performances are legendary, with Kerr's frenetic bass playing and Terrell's charismatic stage presence captivating audiences around the world. Their latest album, "ACR Loco", released in 2020, sees the band continuing to push boundaries and experiment with new sonic textures. From the infectious grooves of "Always in Love" to the dreamy atmospherics of "Bouncy Bouncy", A Certain Ratio prove they still have plenty of tricks up their sleeves. With their fearless creativity and unwavering dedication to their craft, A Certain Ratio remain a force to be reckoned with in the world of music. So grab your dancing shoes, because this is one band you won't want to miss.
