The Graveyard and the Ballroom

A Certain Ratio

Murky, tape-saturated post-punk meeting the rhythmic pulse of disco. A gritty document of Manchester industrial gloom filtered through brittle funk basslines.

1980 · Mute

Tense, rhythmic anxiety balanced by a cold, industrial detachment.

the transition from the studio-side Graveyard to the raw, echoing live-side Ballroom

the sudden, jarring inclusion of a whistle that pierces through the murky percussion on Flight
