Teamaker blew us away with Lust for Wanda, and now excels even more with the release of Ping! Does this man ever stop? The industry is blessed to have such an artist.

I really like this record. It is really different and original. I especially like Teamaker's voice and the way he expresses himself in the songs. Some of my faves are Joseph's Eyes, King Quiet, and Wear and Tear. I am so glad to find something original and not the same old stuff that sounds like everybody else. Thanks Marc!

Mr. T. has come up with another great singer-songwriter album and it's PING. The quality of production and songwriting is fantastic. It'll take you to other places. Give this CD a try if you are a fan of folks like Freedy Johnston and Steve Forbert..... both of whom Marc has opened for.

Three years after Lust For Wanda, Marc serves up this excellent collection of 12 songs for the discerning listener. Influences of other artists can be heard here and there, but Marc's own style of suckering you into thinking you know how a song will go and then hitting you with the unexpected wins over all. From the cover showing facets of Marc's personal life and interests to the increased intimacy of the lyrics and diversity of arrangements, this was a step extra onto LFW. Entering with the countryish shuffle of All Good Things, an optimistic statement of determination, we move quickly to the spaced out, dreamy Can't Say Why, an arrangement that perfectly suits the singer's inability to put his finger on something. Just as you think you've bought an accoustic album, watch out! Starfish Salamander, a mysticised rant against people getting caught up in the small details of their own lives is set against a thundering psychadelic rock sound. One That's On The Way and No Big Surprise are defiant in tone, gentle in sound, the former having an intimate winter's day feel, while the latter takes us into dark early seventies folk and psycadelia. Elsewhere you'll find Wear and Tear, an up Piano tune that Ben Folds would kill for, the quirky, jazz flecked Joseph's Eyes, the touching country ballad of Ocean Bound, featuring some sterling lap steel work, and a suitably oceanic arrangement, the cheeky Jelly Jar, and arrogant swaggering sound of The Same Strike Zone. However, prepare yourself for the album's mid point. King Quiet, while nodding to early solo McCartney is one of Marc's most individual songs, and more than certainly one of the best if not the best song he's ever written. Quiet, gentle, and ultimately moving with a subtle and delicate arrangement of piano bass and drums, which makes this CD worth the price of admission alone. Spend an hour with this disc and you will not fail to be charmed.
