This is our special onanism/nepotism edition of the Ping update, as PiNG THiNGS' rik maclean (Mara's Torment) reviews "Secret Music" by Mara's Torment - giving you some unique insight into the work. After hearing the CD, I've also decided to feature it between sets this week. Many people see and talk to rik at the PiNG THiNGS table without realizing that he's also an excellent atmospheric- electronic artist himself. Here's a taste, so you'll see what I mean: http://www.corpusnet.com/rikstuff/pingthings/MTbreatheRM.rm . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

It's about filling out the space in a setting. It's about getting lost in the moment. And it's about sex. Written as a series of songs to perform at a local fetish night in Toronto, "Secret Music" is a disc filled with suggestion and nuance, implication and seduction. As a work it fits in well with the growing fetish ambient genre, creating an atmosphere around the ideas of sexuality and the act of giving oneself over to one's desires. Sultry, sexy, and dare I say, just a little kinky, "Secret Music" is a disc that will surely enter into the pantheon of albums we reach for when we feel in the mood... rik maclean - rik@pingthings.com "Secret Music" by Mara's Torment is onsale now at PiNG THiNGS www.PiNGTHiNGS.com is the online version of the Ping's music boutique, providing "music for your inner spaces..." http://www.pingthings.com Send an e-mail to pingthings-subscribe@yahoogroups.com to get updates for all the latest releases on sale at PiNG THiNGS. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
