A Certain Ratio

A Certain Ratio is an English post-punk band from Manchester, known for blending funk, danceable rhythms and experimental post-punk textures.

Debut album To Each... (1981) was produced by Martin Hannett. Simon Topping is noted as a vocalist in early reviews. Reviews describe the band's sound as a mix of punk, funk and jazz/tribal percussion.

Two reviews praise A Certain Ratio's debut To Each... for its mix of post-punk, funk and tribal rhythms, Martin Hannett's production, and trance-like long tracks such as "Winter Hill." Reviewers compare the band to Joy Division, Talking Heads and cite Simon Topping's cavernous voice. Both reviews recommend listening to the album in full.
