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.
