['ramp] – looking back in anger
with "looking back in anger" ['ramp] produced an album to celebrate the band´s 10th anniversary with. stephen skimmed through the band´s archive of dat tapes and selected a couple of tracks that had never been released before or that had just been available on bootlegs or compilation albums. he edited and polished the tracks and turned them into little gems. of course, they are still a bit rough around the edges but this adds greatly to their charm.
arranged in chronological order, they showcase ['ramp]´s evolution from a heavily retro-inspired berlin school band to a group that explored the boundaries of the electronic music genre way beyond what was commonly accepted.
"scissors" turned out to be the final track recorded by the two original members frank makowski and stephen parsick as the band broke up shortly after, leaving the two gentlemen pursue their own musical paths.
stephen now continues with ['ramp] as another solo enterprise.
