    ping things is proud to present "Boxset" by Akumu!

    Every so often an artist releases music that resonates on a deeply personal level. Music that connects so closely with where you are on both an artistic and ideological level that you can't help but see it for more than music or art, instead it becomes something that approaches perfection. For me, Deane Hughes is one of those artists that regularly connects in that way, a musician that seems to be perfectly in tune with where I'm at at any time. Over the last ten years he's released two discs and a DVD that spellbind and beguile and just completely amaze me, and now you can get all three releases in this lovingly hand-crafted limited edition box set. Featuring the CD releases "Fluxes", "Magmas", and the "Tapeten" DVD, "Boxset" is a wonderful document celebrating a decade of work by one of the most significant artists in the abstract/ambient genre.

    New Shipping rates for ping things, Free Shipping for orders over $50!

    Shipping costs have always been one of my biggest peeves when it comes to running ping things. I've never really been able to come up with a model that works well for everybody, and over the years I've wrestled with different options and arrangements and it's just never really worked out to my satisfaction.

    So I've decided to take another approach. Effective immediately shipping for CDs is $3 per disc ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD! That's right, if you live in Australia (which is pretty far from Canada) you'll only pay $3 per disc. Pretty sweet, huh? But it gets even better! If your order is over $50, you'll get FREE SHIPPING ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD! Once again, if you live in Australia you're totally set.

    So to reiterate...

    $3 shipping per disc anywhere in the world, Free Shipping for orders over $50!

    Now go buy something... =-)

    ptnr020: ping things net release 020

    Our latest release comes from Lorne David Thomson, who many of you will remember from 2009's "Swimming Alone" ping things net release. His latest, "Quadra Station" is a collection of songs that presents a hopeful and optimistic view of the stars, a retro journey that takes us back to a time where wonder and excitement about space travel abounds. Incorporating actual samples from the NASA archives, "Quadra Station" is a fabulous release, from the thick analog sounds of the eponymous opening track, through the Eastern instrumentation of "The Technician's Dream", the hypnotic pulse and twinkling stars of "Sleeping in the LEM", the steady beat-driven movement of "Apollo 8", to the grandeur of album closer "A Free Trip Home".

    "Quadra Station" is available for free download as an 105Mb Zip file containing the full release in high quality 256kbps mp3 format along with artwork suitable for printing.
