This Tuesday May 20th - Erik Wollo

Norwegian guitarist Erik Wollo visits The Ambient Ping during
his tour of North America promoting his new Spotted Peccary CD
"Emotional Landscapes". Erik will be performing music from several
of his albums, specially arranged for solo live performance. Variations
from deep ambient and melodic to more groovy pieces will be played
using his guitar synth as his main controller. http://www.wollo.com

Between Sets CD - "Swarm Of Drones - disc 2" by V/A  (1995) 
"Darkened subterranean sound worlds in transparent isolation."
This is disc 2 of the second outstanding "ambient noir" collection
from Sombient / Asphodel recordings (in a series of 3) which
The Ambient Ping will be featuring throughout 2003. 

Come early & hear a preview of Steve Roach's new 4 CD Box Set
"Mystic Chords & Sacred Spaces" which will be playing before
the first set. This landmark deep ambient release will be featured

rik maclean's *ping things* CD Reviews

"A Distant Signal" by Alpha Wave Movement

"A Distant Signal" perfectly captures the wonder and mysteries of
space. With track one "Mapping the Heavens" we begin a journey
through other worlds, a simple question used to open our minds to
the possibilities of life on other planets. Lush synth tones caress
the senses, a feeling of movement, the slow passage of time.
The mood builds in track two "Distant Signals", leading into a thick
groove that draws you in, pulling you into a new atmosphere,
a new environment.

"Liquid Cosmos" continues your journey, a beguiling arpegio
playing in the distance, a wash of synth, and the occasional chime.
Breathtaking.

It goes on, with each new piece another alien landscape taking form,
a new land to discover.  From dense ice worlds to planets where
clouds billow and fold in spiralling patterns, "A Distant Signal" provides
the soundtrack to a thousand new vistas, a thousand new sights.
Space music at it's finest...

"A Distant Signal" is available now at *ping things*, along with
a number of other titles by Alpha Wave Movement.
Buy two or more discs by AWM and get a free copy of 
"Nomadic Impressions" by Open Canvas while supplies last.
