Felix Richer and Max Chapados take their collective name from the dark era of the atomic age. Created during the Cold War for militay purposes, the ‘Nuclear Ramjet’ is in fact the most controversial form of propulsion ever invented. In the spirit of harnessing this potentially dangerous technology and transforming it into its most beneficial form, Nuclear Ramjet venture to where few Canadian bands have gone before: the deep reaches of uncharted space.
With releases on respected labels such as Ascend, Iboga, Hadshot, Turbo Trance, Ultimae and Paul Oakenfold’s Perfecto, Nuclear Ramjet’s stated mission is to bring innovative sounds to the discerning masses, and they’ve been doing that since their formation in 1997.
“Age of Aquarius” (their first album), was released a year later, and its lush blend of analog and digital sounds was extremely well received. Their second album “Music for Spaceports” followed in 2001, and was critically acclaimed on an international level; it received critical acclaim in Mushroom Magazine and other publications and it remains a landmark in the North American electronica scene.
Nuclear Ramjet (aka Aeon and Miracle Flash) have been touring across the country, headlining all major festivals (such as Shambhala, Evolve, Om, and Eclipse) since 1997.
They are now releasing a third album. Their latest transmission takes the listener from the confines of terrestrial life on a musical trajectory towards the outer limits of space and time. After two years of intensive research, probe launches, and general preparation, team Ramjet are finally ready to embark on their most sensational adventure to date.
Cinematic and futuristic in its sonic conception, “Mission to Sedna” is pure rocket fuel for the dance floor generation. The album is set to launch February 2006 across North America (and beyond).
Their live set is composed of a stunning hybrid of techno and live processed instruments supported by a unique blend of film footage. Just remember: you too can dare to touch the stars!
