A review
“Der Zappa til tider gikk seg vill i soloer, instrumentalt flisespikkeri og satirisk visvas, har Ping i stedet basert seg på sløye rytmer, underfundige vendinger og fremfor alt – strålende popsanger. Det låter på mange måter litt Beck, omtrent samme dosering av støy, space og funk. I det hele tatt er det snakk om et kreativt oppkok av dimensjoner.” (Natt og Dag om “It’s a Picnic” – nest beste karakter)
Manatlake (January – April, 1999): demo
The very first collection of songs made by Ping. All composed and recorded in Lovezero studio, meaning a 4-track fostex tape recorder in one of our bedrooms.
Tracks
1. Muck and Good Luck (OGG)
2. From Another Point of You (OGG)
3. Blue Velvet Robe
4. …and is that it?
5. Pretty Dolls and Fireballs (OGG)
6. City of Ping
7. Dekk Dekk
8. The Raft
9. Peak Around the Low
10. Mr. Will Be
11. Smooth Like an Octopus
12. Demon Enemy (MP3)
13. Camels
14. Computer Grace Interface
15. In Water Melon Sugar
II (April – June, 1999): demo
The coverart is a illustration from a keyboard manual. We’re now recording on an 8-track digital recorder. The possibilities!
