Our Take

A CERTAIN RATIO are back with Mind Made Up, and boy, are we glad they are. This album is a funky, fresh take on their signature post-punk sound, with a sprinkle of electronic magic thrown in for good measure. From the get-go, it's clear that these veterans still have all the gusto and creativity that made them a staple in the music scene.

The opening track, "Friends Around Us," sets the tone for the rest of the album with its infectious rhythms and catchy hooks. It's impossible not to get up and dance along to this one. The band effortlessly blends elements of disco, funk, and rock to create a sound that is uniquely their own.

Tracks like "Leave Me Alone" and "Supafreak" showcase the band's ability to seamlessly blend genres, creating a sound that is both familiar and innovative. The production on Mind Made Up is top-notch, with each instrument and vocal line shining through in perfect harmony.

The lyrics on this album are introspective and thought-provoking, touching on themes of love, loss, and self-discovery. It's clear that A CERTAIN RATIO have something to say, and they say it with style.

Overall, Mind Made Up is a delightful listen from start to finish. A CERTAIN RATIO have proven once again that they are a force to be reckoned with in the world of music. So grab your dancing shoes and get ready to groove to the infectious sounds of this album - 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.
