Keeping It Together

 

A Certain Ratio - ACR:EPA [12 MUTE 631 UK 021 24-Bit FLAC]

A couple of weeks ago, ACR:EPA was the second best selling (vinyl) single in the UK. Things have come a long way since All Night Party. To put things into perspective, only 2000 were pressed which really emphasises the condition of modern music sales. In comparison 5000 copies of All Night Party were pressed way back in 1979.

This is a new highly productive ACR, backed by heavy promotional activity by the label & band and this is the first of three EPs scheduled for 2021. The original core three remain and new keyboard Matt Steele is proving to be quite a find. He is easily their most accomplished ivory tinkler since Andy Connell (no disrespect to Liam Mullen, of course). These tracks are sadly also among the very last to feature the gorgeous voice of Denise Johnson. I am most certainly falling for the gorgeous Feel No Fear.

    Excellent record and as you say BM the last to feature Denise Johnson, absolute travesty that she was taken far too soon.

    I really like very much last ACR Loco album and this EP. New urban balance sound suits me so well.

    This EP series is genius and shows the riches of the sessions for Loco. EPC is promising to be next level as well!
