Mind Made Up (2008) ...
A Certain Ratio began as Manchester's funk-punk's in the Factory of the late 1970s ...They are still here and as leftfield funky as ever ...I Feel Light ...
There's an excellent, immediate opening track in "I Feel Light," its
tightly wound riff and punchy rhythmic crispness as clear a calling card
as ever for the group, but at the same time there's a further
ominousness in the arrangement that feels well earned by this point.
It's a combination explored at a number of further instances on the
disc, such as "Very Busy Man" and the title track, but doesn't define it
entirely. On "Rialto 6," the group creates what almost could be a spy
movie theme in the classic '60s sense, while Denise Johnson's
work on "Down Down Down" adds further pep to the clavinet-led
arrangement. Other moments twisting expectations include the almost Durutti Column-like "Teri" and the swinging stomp and clatter of "Bird to the Ground."... allmusic.com ...
