A Certain Ratio



Sextet (LP, Factory Records, 1982, UK)

1. Lucinda
2. Crystal
3. Gum
4. Knife Slits Water
5. Skipscada
6. Day One
7. Rub Down
8. Rialto
9. Below The Canal

Classic album from one of the legendary Factory Records bands. Every time I pick up a bass I play the main line to "Knife Slits Water." They are definitely one of the biggest influences on my own music.

Usually I do not like "white funk" bands, but this record is so great it transcends its genre. Back then, when I was 20, I could not appreciate this music. Thanks for bringing it back into my awareness.
