Factory/Mute, 1986. New Copy ... $9.99 14.98
One of the tightest albums ever from A Certain Ratio – a set that has them drawing on their 70s funk inspirations even more than before – and really finding a way to focus the soulful side of their talents! In a way, the sound here is a bit like that taken by Gang Of Four over the ... read more CD
Factory/Mute, 1982. New Copy ... $13.99 14.98
A pivotal album for post-punk legends A Certain Ratio – done at a time when the group was really putting a lot of funk and soul into their style – learning to play their instruments a bit more like the soul artists who inspired them, and acting less like the punk musicians they first ... read more CD

A later gem from the Turkish scene of the 70s – one that's got a bit more funky touches than earlier Anatolian rock!

A Brazilian instrumental rock combo from the 60s, and one who are equally heavy on horns as they are on guitars – all of which makes for a mighty cool sound overall!

Sommor (Spain), Mid 70s. New Copy ... $16.99
