till I see the event - so, sorry if this is OT...

This Tuesday Jan. 14th - Hypnotech 3 & |head|phone|over|tone|

Hamilton knobgazer/bedsit duo Hypnotech 3 return to the Ambient Ping
for another evening of "ambient pulsebeat". Expanding on their exploration
of dance-without-drums, they promise their set will "eerily resemble a
mid-70's Tangerine Dream soundtrack to a CIA-funded LSD mind control
experiment on astronaut Dave Bowman" - featuring take-offs of songs
from both their 2002 "In Tune with the True Distortion" CD and this year's
upcoming release, "Prescription Electronics Depth Charge".

Joining them from Hamilton will be wall-of-sound artists
|head|phone|over|tone|, whose twin-guitar aural bliss-out evokes
comparisons with 90's post-shoegaze artists such as Windy & Carl,
Aarktica or Amp.    http://www.mp3.com/hpot

Between Sets CD - "The Throne Of Drones" by V/A (Sombient/Asphodel)
This is the 1st "ambient noir" collection from Sombient, in a series of
three, which the Ping will be featuring throughout 2003. Described as
"a nocturnal, less blissful approach to the "chill out" underworld", this
compilation features dark ambient luminaries such as Robert Rich,
Steve Roach, Jeff Greinke, Biosphere, vidna Obmana and others.
