[‘ramp] New album – Happy days are here to stay

Stephen Parsick of ‘ramp informed us: “The twelth [‘ramp] album in 24 years, “happy days are here to stay”, will be released on 29th august 2022 in order to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the very first official [‘ramp] concert (very much like “synchronise or die” did some five years earlier). The digital flac download can be purchased directly upon its release — the physical cd, however, will be shipped after 13th september (if nothing goes wrong at the pressing plant, that is). processing and shipping may take a while so please be patient when placing an order. This time, the cd edition will be limited to 111 hand-numbered copies — i hate to admit that cd sales are dwindling and not worth keeping a large inventory of unsold stock anymore. yet, i don’t feel like abandoning the idea of releasing physical media entirely, and i’m sure many of you won’t either. Thanks for your ongoing support — i hope you will enjoy “happy days” as much as i enjoyed creating it.

The new album will be available as of August 29, 2022.
