YELLOW VINYL

First ever vinyl reissue of ACR’s 4th studio album, catching Wythenshawe’s most daring group of the ‘80s in full on jazzdance mode with buff fretless bass vamps offset by their moody Manc pop chops.​  A mid-career highlight, Force was the Manchester band's fifth album, originally released on Factory in 1986.

"Described by Donald Johnson as 'the Mike Tyson of funk', Force marked a convincing return to form for Ratio, mixing the robust funk grooves of single Mickey Way with downtempo tracks, as well as Si Firmi O Grido, the percussive tour de force which provides a reliable climax to live performances. In addition to pin-sharp rhythm and groove the album also displayed real consistency, and even a pop sensibility, courtesy of guest vocalist Corinne Drewery of Swing Out Sister. The album was also one of the first to utilise the brand new Akai S900 sampler."
