In 2004, Rev Hillstrom of Creation Station Media released Ping's Engine of Destruction album via his Bootleg Live series. Recorded in 2003 on the Cornerstone Festival's Gallery Stage, the CD was released as a limited run and quickly went out of print.

In June 2009, Rev graciously returned ownership of the Engine of Destruction album to Ping. If Rev locates any stray copies of the CD, we'll offer them for sale on his behalf. We'd like to extend big thanks to Rev, and to everyone who purchased the CD back in 2004.

For a limited time, Ping is offering a high bandwidth (320 kbps) version of the Engine of Destruction live set as a free download. This show featured debut performances of three tracks from The Eleventh Hour Storybook studio album, in addition to material that has rarely been performed since. The studio prototype of "All in All" will remain a rarity for those with the original CD. Click the album cover to download a .zip file with ten mp3s.

You'll also note that there is a button for donations. This is strictly optional. While we'd certainly appreciate your support, we'll love the thought of you digging these songs even more. If you want to kick in a little and spread the word at the same time, consider purchasing the super-cool (if I do say so myself) embroidered Ping patch. Enjoy the music!
