Promotional Footage of A Certain Ratio performing “Touch” for Belgian Television in April of 1983 A Certain Ratio approached Post-Punk like musicians trying to physically dismantle the boundaries between Funk, Industrial music, Dub, Disco, Punk, and avant-garde experimentation in real time. While huge portions of the Post-Punk movement leaned heavily into paranoia, minimalism, and emotional coldness, A Certain Ratio understood rhythm itself could be psychologically unsettling when pushed hard enough. Their music sounded mechanical but alive at the same time. Their sound consistented of jagged basslines, anxious percussion, skeletal guitar work, and grooves that felt simultaneously danceable and deeply uncomfortable. What made the band so important historically was their refusal to respect genre boundaries. They absorbed the influence of Funk music, especially the rhythmic innovations of artists like James Brown and Parliament-Funkadelic, then filtered it through the bleak urban tension surrounding Manchester during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The result sounded futuristic, claustrophobic, and emotionally detached in ways most Rock bands simply could not comprehend at the time. While Joy Division embodied Factory Records’ emotional darkness and New Order pushed the label toward electronic reinvention, A Certain Ratio became the label’s rhythmic mutation. They dragged Funk, Disco, Dub, and percussive experimentation directly into Factory’s cold Post-Punk atmosphere and completely expanded the sonic identity of what the label could represent. A Certain Ratio injected movement, groove, physicality, and tension into the label’s bloodstream. And that tension became their identity. A Certain Ratio made music for dance floors filled with anxiety, alienation, political exhaustion, and emotional disconnection. Long before Alternative Dance music, Industrial Funk, and experimental club culture became culturally accepted, A Certain Ratio were already building the sound for all of it. #Music #ACertainRatio

Dr. Feelgood “She Does It Right” The Geordie Scene, Tyne Tees Television February 20, 1975 From Down by the Jetty United Artists Records, January 1975 Recorded 1974 Written by Wilko Johnson Produced by Vic Maile at Rockfield Studios, Monmouth Lineup: Lee Brilleaux (vocals, harmonica), Wilko Johnson (guitar), John B. Sparks (bass), John Martin (drums) Dr Feelgood formed in 1971 in Canvey Island, Essex, emerging from the British pub rock circuit. Their early sound fused R&B and rock and roll with a stripped, high-speed performance style that became a key reference point for later UK punk. Wilko Johnson’s choppy, percussive guitar approach defined the group’s identity, supported by a rhythm section built for precision and forward motion. “She Does It Right” reflects this approach in its minimal structure and direct ex*****on, later becoming one of the band’s defining early recordings and live staples.
