 Got these all from a blog long ago and not sure what their name was (see text file write up they did included) but gives me a start with this band.  Only one album with the rest extended play so I think they picked the best stuff.  A Certain Ratio are a Post-punk band formed in 1977 in Manchester, England. While originally part of the punk rock movement, they soon added funk and dance elements to their sound. They are sometimes referred to as "cold wave".  The band were among the first to debut on Tony Wilson's Factory Records in 1979 with "All Night Party," produced by Martin Hannett.  During ACR's early years with Factory, they scored seven Top Ten U.K. independent releases, highlighted by "Flight" and "Waterline," and released five albums beginning with The Graveyard and the Ballroom (1979).  A short week for me due to evacuation from Hurricane Ian so am pulling some unopened files from other blogs.                                  https://krakenfiles.com/view/8REGEX0yQp/file.html

Yeah, I worked on Digital Meltd0wn for several years with Zer0_ii. He was going through much in his personal life so I hellped out for a while. Then he went off the rails & I kinda took over the blog for a while longer. Zer0_ii was a good friend. He an I dreamed up the Musick around the World idea as a series for DM but it never came about. I took over the idead for Nothin' Sez Somethin' & did it myself. I do miss the ole Digital Meltd0wn. Thanks for asking.

The download was blocked by Microsoft Edge.

Edge is a cheap ass browser/PDF viewer. You should really go get a free GoogleChrome browser as no issues with these downloads at the blog. It also keeps your passwords nice and handy.
