ANNOUNCEMENT:

For a long time RAMP were one of modern soul music’s biggest mysteries. What did RAMP mean? How come their album is so damn hard to find? Why no second album What was the relationship with Roy Ayers? Heavily sampled (most notably on A Tribe Called Quest’s “Bonita Applebum” and much adored for their sublime version of "Everybody Loves The Sunshine" RAMP maintained a musical presence despite a lack of music and info.

Finally RAMP fans are enjoying a long overdue year of revival. The 1977 RAMP album "Come Into Knowledge" was recently re-issued in Japan, Wax Poetics magazine have an awesome 5-page piece on the band in their current issue. And by way of inclusion on the forthcoming Gilles Peterson Digs America II, and an upcoming single, Ubiquity Records will unleash two previously unreleased Ramp tracks this Fall.
