Sextet

Self-produced at Revolution Studio, Sextet saw the original Ratio quintet of Donald Johnson, Jeremy Kerr, Martin Moscrop, Simon Topping and Peter Terrell joined by co-vocalist Martha Tili Tilson. Written and recorded following a transformative sojourn in New York in late 1980, the album reflects Latin, samba and even jazz influences (eg Skipscada; Day One), while still retaining Ratio s signature brittle funk textures, heard in full effect on Lucinda, Gum and trancelike floor filler Knife Slits Water.

It all came together for us on Sextet really, confirms bassist (and latterly vocalist) Jez Kerr. We were all working together - more involved in the recording, and what went down onto tape. It's definitely got something that the other albums haven t.

Newly remastered, the bonus tracks on both the CD and vinyl formats include non-album single Waterline as well as dub plate Abracadubra (released as Sir Horatio), and the band s three song John Peel session from June 1981.

The double CD version also includes a further Peel session from November 1982, featuring two songs never before released on record: Piu Lento, and Who s To Say. Also included on the CD are both extended 12 mixes of Knife Slits Water, together with an early demo version of percussive marathon Si Firmir O Grido.
