Alive and well after their split with Factory Records, A Certain Ratio were in euphoric and emotive form for 1989's Good Together. Bursting with the boundless positivity of the acid house era, this release sees A Certain Ratio divert their usual post-punk funk into the “Madchester” baggy sound of the time, exploiting conventional song structures to convey themes of togetherness and hope.
Soulful, smooth and packed with proper anthems, including the saucy eyed serenade “The Big E” and the wriggling acid pop of the title track, Good Together remains the A Certain Ratio choice for ravers young and old.
This reissue of Good Together is available on limited white vinyl.
