Ram Trilogy

The Hornchurch Three

*Below are excerpts from the RAM25 book*

Scott: By 1999 I was working full time and we Ram Trilogy on the go, Moving Fusion were on fire, and everything was just rolling out. We became like a machine.

Andy: We did the Trilogy Chapters and 'Molten Beats' as Ram Trilogy, which of course was Ant, Shimon and myself. The Trilogy Chapters took off like mental. I think we pressed 30,000 copies for each one, for just the first week. The figures were crazy.

Scott: We'd get a call in saying there was an order on the way and you'd all be standing around the fax machine waiting for it to come out to see how many they'd want, there was no email!

Andy: I'd forgotten about that! It was like those old war films where people stood around waiting for the morse code message to come in. Waiting for the order and sometimes it would come in and we'd be like "Oh my god that's amazing!"

Scott: Being around that fax and getting the figures in; that would inspire the studio work.

Andy: Yeah, we'd think "Boom. We're going back in."
