Ruby is a Rhythm and blues act. Their sound grew out of Dot Allison. Those roots explain a lot about how Ruby arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as UNKLE, Moloko, Everything But the Girl, Recoil and Portishead, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Girls Against Boys, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 12 connections around Ruby, reaching back through Dot Allison and forward to Girls Against Boys.
