1. Kalima

   Kalima is a Manchester-based Factory Records band who ran from 1980 to 1991 and a reformation in 2001, playing in a funk, Latin and jazz style. The band originally formed as the Swamp Children in 1980, with a lineup of Ceri Evans, John Kirkham, Martin Moscrop, Ann Quigley, Tony Quigley and Cliff Saffer. As the Swamp Children, the band released the "Little Voices" 12" on Factory in October 1981, and the "Taste What's Rhythm" 12" and So Hot album on Factory Benelux. The album was rated 5 stars in the Virgin Books Rock Yearbook 1983 and received a strongly positive review in Melody Maker. The track "Flesh" also appeared on the Crépuscule compilation The Fruit of the Original Sin. The band changed its name to Kalima in 1983, named after a track by Elvin Jones on his 1978 album Remembrance. That year, the band added Chris Manis, Andy Connell and Jeremy Kerr. This meant the band contained all members of A Certain Ratio except Donald Johnson. Tony Quigley also joined A Certain Ratio at the beginning of 1985. Kalima released their first recording, "Fly Away/The Smiling Hour", in January 1984 on Factory. The EP Four Songs followed in October 1985 and the album Night Time Shadows in May 1986.
