A CERTAIN RATIO:
A Certain Ratio was one of the first groups to sign to the legendary Factory Records in Manchester. Whilst many people credit New Order and The Happy Mondays as the groups who brought Dance music into the sound of Manchester (later Madchester!), it is in fact ACR who were there in the beginning.
The band's exploration of rhythm fusing funk, disco, punk and Latin has had a resurgence in the last few years and their influence can be heard in bands such as The Rapture and LCD Soundsystem. In 2002 Soul Jazz Records started a program of reissues of ACR's albums and difficult to find tracks. Further re-issues and a live recording from 1980 have also been made available on the LTM label.
The enduring appeal of ACR's back catalogue has been brought to a new audience. Soul Jazz Records re-released ACR's first 3 albums, “The Graveyard and the Ballroom”, “To Each” and “Sextet” during 2004 and the band's fourth release, “I'd Like To See You Again” released by LTM Records in June 2005. 2005 also saw the re-release of “ACR Live In America” on Melodic Records.
