British post punk & indie funk band formed in 1977 near Manchester.

Over the years there have been changes in line-up and periods of inactivity.
A Certain Ratio is a British post punk and indie funk band that was formed in 1977 near Manchester. Inspired by Brian Eno's song "The True Wheel," they adopted their unique name. Initially signed to Factory Records, they released their first records through this label. Throughout their career, the band has experienced lineup changes and periods of inactivity.
With a blend of post punk and indie funk influences, A Certain Ratio has left an indelible mark on the music scene since their formation over four decades ago. Hailing from Manchester, England, the band derived its name from a lyric found within Brian Eno's iconic track "The True Wheel." Early on, they established themselves as part of Factory Records' roster before embarking on a journey marked by shifts in personnel and intermittent hiatuses.

New Wave / Post Punk

Following the new wave classic Sextet, I’d Like to See You Again points toward a more minimal, stripped-down funk sound, influenced heavily by the New York club scene of the early ‘80s in which A Certain Ratio immersed themselves following their formation in Manchester. The departure of vocalist Martha Tilson left the band working in a more rhythmic instrumental approach, eschewing the pop forms of Sextet and focusing on a harder electro-funk sound. The fact that this album fared well on the dancefloor some 20 years after its release may indicate that A Certain Ratio was ahead of their time. Their influence could be heard cropping up in strains of the Brit-pop, techno, post-rock, and house of the late ‘90s. Hence, I’d Like to See You Again is an album that deserves a revisit.

The limited edition white vinyl version is one of four limited edition reissue pressings to commemorate the release of the new A Certain Ratio album ACR Loco. They will be available on limited edition white vinyl with black and white versions of the covers.
